Vijay Antony to don multiple looks for Saithan

Saithan, which is slated for a Deepavali release, was shot in Chennai, Palakkad and Orissa.

The teaser of Saithan, an action psycho-thriller, directed by newcomer Pradeep Krishnamoorthy, — starring Vijay Antony and Arundhati Nair, was released a couple of days back. What’s more, it has already garnered a million views on YouTube! Pradeep, a docu-fiction maker, actually never aimed to make it to Kollywood. “Though I worked as an assistant alongside Vetri Maaran in Aadukalam, I never thought about entering the film industry. I work for a private TV channel and the producer put me on to Vijay Antony. He immediately agreed to be part of this film, which will follow different types of narration,” states Pradeep.

Vijay Antony plays Dinesh, who is a software developer, while Arundhati Nair plays his wife in the movie. “Dinesh has traces of schizophrenia and will don multiple looks in Saithan. This is a first for Vijay Antony, which is why he has accepted this film. The incidents in the movie are from his character’s point of view,” says the director. According to the director and the Naan actor, Arundhati’s character is extremely important to the film — “I cannot reveal her character’s name, but she has a meaty role. After a certain point of time in the film, her character becomes of utmost importance. Saithan will also explore Dinesh and his wife’s intimacy.” Saithan, which is slated for a Deepavali release, was shot in Chennai, Palakkad and Orissa.
