All about friendship

SUPER GOOD Films' ``Punnagai Desam'' is based on friendship. Shajahan, who makes his debut as director, was assistant to Vikraman. The banner's first film, ``Puthu Vasantham,'' was directed by Vikraman. In fact almost all the assistants of Vikraman have started their careers with Supergood Films - K. S. Ravikumar, Rajakumaran, Lingusamy and now Shajahan. Producer R. B. Chowdry says that the next one to get a break would be Ravishanker, another assistant of Vikraman.

Explaining the title, Shajahan said, ``We should do unto others what we want them to do unto us. When this happens, the entire world would be a smiling one. That is the message the film will convey. Producer Chowdry thought the story did not require popular stars. So the main stars in the film are all new comers. For instance Tharunkumar, Pritha Vijayakumar and Amsavardhan.''

All of them are the offspring of popular stars. Tharun Kumar is the son of Rojaramani, Amsavardhan is the son of Ravichandran and Pritha is the daughter of Vijayakumar.

In this film, four friends live together as a family making sacrifices for each other. This is told in an entertaining way with all the ingredients like songs, dance and humour.

The artistes include Kunal, Dhamu, Malaysia Vasudevan, Vijayachandrika, `Nizhalgal' Ravi, Vadivukkarasi, Madan Bob, Vinu Chakravarthi, `Pasi' Sathya, Mayilsamy, Krishna and Sabitha Anand.

The film is cranked by S. Mathi, music is scored by S. A. Rajkumar, art is taken care of by Remy, editing is done by V. Jaishanker, dance is choreographed by Tharun Kumar, Raju Sundaram and Kool Jayanth. Produced by R. B. Chowdry the film's story, screenplay, dialogue and direction are by K. Shajahan.
