A NEW venture by actor-director Parthiban raises a lot of expectations. In the promo for his forthcoming film Kudaikkul Mazhai produced by Bioscope Film Framers, Parthiban who has penned the dialogue and directed the movie, promises to bring out his best.

Parthiban promises that the film has some arresting visuals beginning with the theme song, thanks to the work of cameraman B.L. Sanjay, who is the son of B. Loganathan, who was a master with the camera in his time.

Meanwhile, Parthiban has started his own advertisement company Gossip to take care of publicity in the print and electronic media. The actor-director is yet to reveal the other artistes in the film, except heroine Madhumitha from Hyderabad.

The storyline: A beautiful 18-year-old girl falls madly in love with an auto rickshaw driver and is prepared to marry him. Does he follow her is what the film is about.

Parthiban says every person who comes to the theatre has a preconceived notion about a film. "I do not want my audience to have any of that about my film and that is why I have not revealed the actors. I am growing and so too is my knowledge about filmmaking. So I have tried a new way of story-telling and I expect the people to encourage me."

Suresh Rajan and R. Sudarsan have taken care of the editing and `Super' Subbarayan has composed the stunts and Vijay Murugan is in charge of art direction.

For the first time he has written a song, which is sung by Ilaiyaraja.

Parthiban is normally famous for dealing with unusual subjects in his films. The next film of Parthiban is Kudaikkul Mazhai. Title is a poem, but in the film there are commercial aspects also.

Uniting commercial and Poetry with comedy, Parthiban has created a novel knought in this film. Though love is the main aspect of the film, Screenplay has been made in a new fashion, which was not used hitherto. Every frame has been given exclusive attention in this film. After a very long time, Parthiban is acting in many getups. A new find Madumitha is being introduced as the heroine.

Parthiban is not giving any hint about other actors in the film. Perhaps in this way, Parthiban may be thinking of doing something novel!

Karthik Raja takes up the music and five songs have been recorded so far, apart from the theme music of 3 minutes.

Parthiban for the first time is writing Lyrics for this film. Ilayaraaja has sung his Lyric adiye kiliye

One more lyric that Pathiban has written:

Oru Pottu Vaikkirane,
Uyir Thottuvaikkirane,
Unnodu Kalakka,
Onraha Enaiya,
Un roobam Thevaiyillai!
