Getting busy is Prabhu thanks to the Chandramukhi flavour. A rush of offers came his way but he settled for the ones with a good banner and a neat storyline. An interesting sidelight is in him shedding 10 kilograms to render meaning to his character in Pasa Kiligal.

Sentiment is likely to have a say in the film produced by Rama Narayan under the banner of Anjugam Kalaikudam.

Murali, Vineeth, Malavika, Roja, Manorama, Nasser and Kuyili are the supportive cast. Murali and Malavika have teamed up after Vetri Kodi Kattu. DMK chief Karunanidhi has penned lyrics for all the songs, having written the story, screenplay and dialogues.

Appasamy behind her looked forward to the delightful experience of mouthing the lines penned by a legend. Being a Keralite, will she be short of confidence?

'Far from it. Am thrilled to be part of the package. There is no question of pressure playing in my mind. On the contrary it should spur me to do better. The good audience appreciation to my earlier films is an encouraging factor. Happy to slip into characters showcasing the abilities of women.' Music composer Vidyasagar said 'every film after Chandramukhi will be a challenge. It was a delight setting tunes to the lyrics of Karunanidhi. Aware of the expectations but it only helped to bring to light a quality offering.'

The other credits are: cinematography: Paneer Selvam, editing: Rajkeerthi  and stunt: Subbarayan.
