Aathmika started her career impressively with Meesaya Murukku but her subsequent films Naragasooran with Arvind Swamy and Kaateri with Vaibhav are yet to release. The pretty actress has been roped in for a Udhayanidhi film, directed by Mu Maran of Iravukku Aayiram Kangal fame. The new, film which is a crime thriller has been titled Kannai Nambathey, from the first line of a chartbuster song from a MGR film.
Touted to be a thriller, Maran says he could think only of Udhay for the lead protagonist role in Kannai Namnathey. “There’s a lot of emotional connect as well,” the director adds.
The movie, which went on floors on Monday, has comedian Satish in a crucial role. Sam CS is composing the music and Sridhar of Pariyerum Perumal fame does the cinematography.
Udhay is awaiting the release of Kanne Kalaimaane with Seenu Ramasamy and Psycho with Mysshkin.
