With Paandiyum Sahakkalum, director Appu K Samy has explored ‘magical realism’ — a genre which was predominant in Hollywood during the 1970s.
Talking about the film, he says, “The screenplay will encompass several incidents, by which one cannot guess the entire story. Also, audiences cannot not predict what will happen next at any point of time.”
“There’s a social message as well in the film,” he adds. Jean, a research scholar in music, who is debuting as composer with the film, says that the techno music and sound system used in today’s scenario will only affect the health of the listeners and hence, his music outcome will be only in 5.1 stereo — “a traditional method handled by ace music composer Ilaiyaraaja sir.”
Nizhalgal Ravi, Power Star Srinivasan, Yuva, and Poornima Rao form the main cast. The director has also played a pivotal role in Paandiyum Sahakkalum.
