The director’s take - 'Aegan'

After the stupendous success of ‘Billa’ expectations are running high amidst Ajith fans for ‘thalai’s next film ‘Aegan’. This film is being directed by the very popular dance master Raju Sundaram who will take the director’s chair for the first time. We were all seeing and wondering about Ajith sporting a beard for around half a year now. The hero, who looks smashing with a clean shave, had not used the razor even when his daughter was born.

But now the suspense is out and we all know that Ajith was sporting the beard for ‘Aegan’. So far all news about this film as well as Ajith role was a tightly bottled up secret. We had only been informed that Ajith will essay a very different role in this film. But in a recent interview to the press the director Raju Sundaram has come out with more news on Ajith’s role as well as on the film ‘Aegan’.

In this fast-paced flick Ajith will be seen as a hard core, and rough cop who completes any task assigned to him successfully. Ajith with his original beard in place will have Nayantara as his heroine. Will the ‘Billa’ magic work yet again, let’s wait and watch.

‘Aegan’ also has a very impressive star cast with Suhasini Mani Rathnam, Jayaram, Suman, Nasser, M.S. Bhaskar, Sriman, and ‘Arinthum Ariyamalum’ fame Navdeep.

Raju, the director, has said that this film will have the right dose of romance, humour as well as hair-raising stunts scenes. This film also has a specialty – in the sense one stunt scene for ‘Aegan’ was choreographed by none other that the stunt choreographer of Jackie Chan himself and this stunt features hero Ajith Kumar. The director has planned to shoot the song sequences for this film from the exquisite locales of England, New Zealand and Australia. One more credit that ‘Aegan’ has is that it is the first film in the Tamil industry to be shot from Hong Kong.

This big-budget film is made under the banner of Ayangaran International. The producers of the film are Ayangaran Karuna Murthy and Arun Pandiyan.

The director Raju Sundaram has promised that he will work very hard for this film and he has also said that ‘Aegan’ will be one of the best films ever in the Tamil film industry. Well, with many brownie points to its credit in terms of the cast, crew and the locations we expect it to be a fantastic grosser and an all-round entertainer when ‘Aegan’ hits theatres.
