`Jithan' Ramesh in `Madurai Veeran'

`Jithan' Ramesh and Saloni in `Madurai Veeran'

`Madurai Veeran' is one of the successful films of the late MGR. Now A. Sayeed is producing a film with the same name for S. K. Pictures with `Jithan' Ramesh in the lead.

Director R. K.Vincent Selva, who introduced Ramesh in the film `Jithan,' is now joining hands with the star for the second time. Will they click?

``Sure'', the director says, adding "let me clarify that the film has no connection with the old `Madurai Veeran'. In the old film, the lead actor will lose his hands and legs for his ladylove." But in this new film, lead actor Ramesh, whose other films include `Madhu' and `Jerry', will not hesitate to take away hands and legs of any person for the sake of love. It is about youth attraction. Saloni, who has acted with Salman Khan in a Hindi film, will play the female lead role.

If `Allthotta Boopathi' made `Youth' popular, and `A Muthal Akkuthanada' `Jithan,' it will be a song by Gana Ulaganathan that is expected to be the highlight of `Madurai Veeran'. The shooting was held at different locations, including those in Madurai, Mumbai, Thalaikonam and Hyderabad.
