While one group wanted the two to come along, the other stood firm in its perception that after all the passion quickly followed by bitterness, Silambarasan and Nayanthara will never join hands again. But the director who bagged the National Award already in his debut, silenced all the crowd by signing in Simbu and Nayan for ‘Idhu Namma Aalu’. Director Pandiraj set the ball rolling late last year, and is almost done with the talkie portions already. While Nayan joined the crew in November last, the film’s second heroine – or an extended guest appearance – joined the crew this month, in their last schedule of shooting with dialogues. It was earlier buzzed that Taapsee would play the second heroine, but Andrea Jeremiah was finally signed in to play this role.
The crew had earlier divulged that telephonic conversations will play a crucial role in the film, likening it to the conversations like in Ajith’s yesteryear blockbuster ‘Kadhal Kottai’. Now, there is more insight into the film that Andrea plays Simbu’s love interest in his past – when he’s portrayed as an IT professional – and will feature as flashback. Further to these, the film has Pandiraj’s lucky mascot Soori and Santhanam on comedy, and Jayaprakash is also a part of the cast crew. Balasubramaniam cranks the camera for this film, which is produced by STR’s home banner Simbu Cine Arts. The film also contributes to the talent base of Kollywood, as Silambarasan’s younger brother Kuralarasan debuts as the music director with ‘Idhu Namma Aalu’.
Given the star cast, it is inevitable that rumours fly around. But both Simbu and Nayan have been diplomatic about the whole issue, while brushing aside such feed, yet maintaining a healthy friendship, strictly on the professional front. With only a little more left to be shot and snipped right, ‘Idhu Namma Aalu’ is inching close to the day when K-town audience can enjoy and laud the Simbu-Nayan on-screen chemistry once again, thanks to Pandiraj’s meticulously planned schedules.
