Guess it all started with Kaaka Kaaka or rather that was the film that popularized the idea of a lake house. This was later replicated in many films but was used mainly for song sequences that had no bearing in the story of the film.

Director Gandhi Krishna has also come up with a similar idea. His previous film Chellame was a hit, the director is now back with Anandha Thandavam, featuring debutant Siddharth and Tamanna of Kalloori fame.

This film has music scored by G.V. Prakash and cinematography by Shankar. Anandha Thandavam’s shooting has been going on at full pace in and around courtallam. The director felt the need to erect a floating house and it was done at the cost of Rs.20 lakhs on the banks of the Papanaasam dam, which is now almost full due to good monsoon.

A song sequence is being shot there with Siddharth and Tamanna for the past two days. About 100 workers from nearby localities were employed for a week to build this house using 150 drums to keep it afloat. Hope he gives us another romantic thriller ala Chellame and after the success of Kalloori fans of Tamanna can’t wait to see her again on screen.
