Director Ajay Gnanamuthu, who made his debut with horror film Demonte Colony, has announced the title of his second film — Imaikaa Nodigal. Earlier, we had reported that Atharvaa would be essaying the lead role. Yesterday, the team announced on Twitter that they have brought Nayanthara and cinematographer RD Rajasekar on board. Speaking to DC, Ajay said, “Imaikaa Nodigal is an emotional crime thriller with Atharvaa and Nayanthara as the protagonists and will share screen space. But, they are not paired opposite each other. Nayanthara and Atharvaa’s co-stars in the movie will be a surprise. We have treated the pacy screenplay with a non-linear narration.”
When asked how he brought Nayanthara on board, Ajay casually admitted that the Naanum Rowdy Dhaan actor immediately agreed to be a part of the film after the narration. “Nayan’s role in the film is something that she hasn’t done before in her career. It will be really new for her, as well as the audience,” reveals the director. Shooting for Imaikaa Nodigal will start in October and the team has planned to shoot in Chennai and Bengaluru. The director added that the rest of the supporting cast will be finalised by next week. Editor Bhuvan Srinivasan, art director Selvakumar and costume designer Poorthi Pravin are a part of the team.
