Tale of family bond

IT WAS a mixed feeling of embarrassment and delight for director Arpudhan when producer R. B. Chowdry insisted that the title for his new film, shooting for which is on should be ``Arpudham.'' Arpudhan has been working on the script of ``Arpudham'' for quite sometime and is happy with the result.

The story revolves round a young man who is a spend thrift. He wants to enjoy life with somebodyelse's money and does not heed the advice of his family. But a drastic change occurs when he meets a girl. A lovely house fashioned like an Ashram known as ``Krishnaveni House'' is the scene of action.

Producer turned actor Pyramid Natrajan says that the new director has done his home work well. ``He has created some interesting scenes and I am sure the film will be talked about mainly for its comedy and emotional scenes. The scene before the interval and the climax will attract mention.''

For Ragavendar Lawrence it is his first film as hero. He has worked as a choreographer for nearly 50 films and is the second hero in K. Balachander's 100th film, ``Parthale Paravasam''. Anu Prabhakar who has done a dozen films in Kannada is the heroine. The highlight of the film is the bond between the father (Pyramid Natrajan), mother (Kalai Rani), two sons and their only daughter. It will be an entertaining film which one can watch with his family and enjoy,'' says the director.

The cast includes Dhamu, Kunal, Vaiyapuri, Livingston, Jennifer (daughter of dance master Chinna) and Vijay Anand. Camera is handled by Sree, Lawrence has choreographed dance, the lyrics are written by Vaale music is scored by Sivashanker (who composed music for ``Love Today'' and ``Poomagal Oorvalam''). The story, screenplay, dialogue and direction are by Arpudhan.
