Stargazing

Balan’s next


The success of Veyyil has catapulted Vasanthabalan to such heights that there’s already much expectation from Angaadi Theru, his next. New face Mahesh is the hero, and Anjali, the heroine of Katradhu Thamizh, is being paired with him. “It will be a realistic film like Veyyil,” begins Vasanthabalan. The crew went all over the State searching for its hero. Mahesh was chosen from among 17,000 youngsters and after three-months of scouting. “Mahesh comes from a very ordinary background. His father sells nuts outside a cinema hall, near Dindigul. And convincing him to allow his son to act was just one of the many challenges we faced,” laughs Balan. Anjali’s girl-next-door looks won her a place in Angaadi … “The two are doing a near-perfect job. They’ve not gone beyond two takes for a shot,” he says.
