A string of lies...

THE MGR Film City is teeming with people. On one side shooting is on for a Telugu film and on the other Prabhu is in the middle of a song sequence with director K. Subash calling the shots for Sri Sudha Lakshmi Pictures's ``Aayirum Poi Solli''. A thousand lies can be uttered to perform a marriage, the saying goes. In this film, the hero crosses the limit to avoid marriage. The hero asks an astrologer to predict his future and is told that he would marry twice. The first wife would die during child birth. An aghast hero decides not to marry but is forced to take the plunge. What is more, the wife (Ramya Krishnan) becomes pregnant. ``The climax is very gripping,'' says the director. Prabhu says, ``This character is full of energy, and comedy is the lifeline of the film. In the song sequence which is being picturised now I am wondering about the fate of the girl. I am sure that this film will be accepted by the masses.''

Director K. Subash, who has also written the screenplay, is happy that the major portion of the film is over. ``I intend to shoot two songs in Switzerland. We have planned an August release and I am working on a tight schedule.'' The main cast, besides Prabhu and Ramya Krishnan, comprises M. N. Nambiar, Delhi Ganesh, Ramesh Kanna, Anumohan, `Thalai Vaasal' Vijay and Fathima Babu. Music director Deva's brothers, Sabesh and Murali, make their debut as composers. The story is by R. Chandrasekar. Varunan has written the dialogue. Stunt work has been taken care of by `Vikram' Dharma. The camera is handled by Ilavarasu and editing is done by Krishnamurthy Siva. Art is by Nagu.
