WHAT IS DHANUSH - SJ SURYAH CONNECT IN SELVARAGHAVAN'S NENJAM MARAPPATHILLAI?

Director Selvaraghavan’s Nenjam Marappathillai’s simple yet eerie and innovative first look posters impressed the audience and helped to create a buzz around the film.

While rewinding a few years back, it can be remembered that Selvaraghavan had planned a film with his brother/actor Dhanush and Sonia Agarwal, which was titled as ‘Doctors’. The film got shelved due to unknown reasons, and the brothers got busy with their other projects.  When the posters of this S.J.Suryah starrer released, there were some similarities with the poster of Doctors. Here we present you the similarities spotted:

1. The sitting posture of S.J.Suryah and Dhanush looks similar.
2. The color of the blazer (black) and tie (red) is the same.
3. Both Regina and the other girl in Doctors poster sport same color combination (pink and black).
4. Sonia Agarwal and Nandita, both seem to wear a mix of red, gold and orange color combination.
5. Yuvan Shankar Raja and DoP Arvind Krishna reunited with Selvaraghavan after a long time for Nenjam Marappathillai, who were also part of Doctors. (It should be noted that they were not part of his previous films Mayakkam Enna, Aayirathil Oruvan, Irandam Ulagam, etc)

Also seeing the track record of Selvaraghavan, films like Irandam Ulagam, Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam were initially shelved, but after a few years, it was again made with a different cast. Is Nenjam Marappathillai one such film? Selvaraghavan might have modified the story to suit today’s horror trend, but one would never know.
