Director Thirumurugan of Em Magan fame is busy shooting his next film Muniyandi Vilangiyal Moondram Aandu with Bharath playing the lead.
Their earlier combo in Em Magan rocked and did very well across all centers and captured the hearts of family audiences.
The director intends to wrap up the shooting of this film in a single schedule spanning 45 days. For this purpose, the film unit has erected a Muneeswaran temple set costing Rs.10 lakhs. The producers, Malaysian-based production house, Lotus Five Star and Thiru Pictures Limited, explained that the director decided on a set instead of a real temple, as they could not find a temple that suited their script. This set has been erected at Vellai Koundanoor near Pollachi, which will be used for a 15-day shoot.
Vadivelu, who played a significant role in Em Magan, was requested to play a role in this film as well. When the director approached the actor, he reportedly turned down the offer the citing non-availability of dates as a reason, as most of the dates were allotted to a film in which he plays the lead role. Thirumurugan had to convince Vadivelu that his role in the film is a very significant one and is pivotal to the proceedings. Finally, the actor agreed to sign the dotted line. Let’s hope the Bharath-Vadivelu combo recreates the magic of Em Magan.
