Second venture of a success team

THE shooting was for K.R.G. Movies International ``Middle Class Madhavan'' which has Prabhu and Abirami in the lead. Director T. P. Gajendran says the middle class people are the worst sufferers on all counts. ``Take my case.I was staying in Kodambakkam. My neigbhour was a popular actor. He let out his house to a big car company. The company gave problems to all the people in that place, particularly the neigbhours. This made me think how upper class people can achieve what they want with money and the lower class is ready to live as they like. Only the middle class suffers the most.''

The story of this movie is based on sentiment, tradition, customs, economy and the dreams of the middle class people. But I have told all this with a touch of comedy. ``The scene to be shot today is on the hero Prabhu and the heroine Abirami. One day as they enter the house they see only Ayyappa devotees. They come to know that the hero's father Delhi Ganesh is going to put on the `malai' to undertake the Sabarimalai pilgrimage.''

The hero Prabhu says, ``After the success of `Budget Padmanabhan' the same team decided to do another film and this time we are making `Middle class Madhavan'. I am a lawyer and married to Abirami. The story is of a middle class man who works hard to satisfy everyone. The script has come out well and is bound to be a success as it has all the right ingredients to make it a hit movie.''

For Abirami, the heroine of ``Vanavil'' this movie is her second in Tamil. ``Comedy script, good production company and the family atmosphere in the unit make me work hard. I am sure to see the fruits of our hard work'', she says.

The film has Prabhu, Abirami, Visu, Vivek, Vadivelu, Delhi Ganesh, Kaka Radhakrishnan, Radhika Chowdry, Revathi Sankaran, and Jothilakshmi. The camera is handled by Ragunatha Reddy. Music is scored by the TV fame Dhena. Dialogues are written by Prasanna Kumar. Art is by GK. Editing is by Ganesh and songs are written by Valee. The film is Produced by KRG. The story, screenplay and direction are by T. P. Gajendran.
