Raja Rani (English: King, Queen) is an upcoming Tamil romantic comedy film directed by debutant Atlee Kumar, who previously worked with Shankar as an assistant in Enthiran (2010) and produced by A. R. Murugadoss in association with Fox Star Studios.[2] The film features Arya, Jai, Nayantara, Nazriya Nazim, Santhanam and Sathyaraj in the lead roles.[3] It received 'U' Certificate from Central Board of Film Certification.[4] The film is scheduled to release on 27 September 2013.[5]
Cast
- Arya as John
- Jai as Surya
- Nayantara as Regina, an IT professional
- She described the character as "very stubborn. She loses her temper at the drop of a hat, but is also emotionally vulnerable. What I like the most about her is the way she handles each and every phase in her life."[6]
- Nazriya Nazim as Keerthana
- Sathyaraj as James
- In an interview with The Times of India, he said "There are three important reasons why I chose to act in this film — Atlee, Atlee and Atlee. He worked with Shankar in Nanban (my first movie with the director) and he made it so easy for the filmmaker. The story of Raja Rani was so modern in thought and that's why I took it up,"[7]
- Santhanam as Sarathy
- The crew had announced that Santhanam would not be merely a comedian, but would have "an integral role to play in the development of the story". Speaking to The Times of India, Atlee said, "He will not only keep the audience in splits, but also make them shed a tear or two. His performance in emotional scenes will be refreshing. The audience will see Santhanam, the actor, in the film."[7]
Production
Casting
Atlee Kumar, an assistant director to Shankar, narrated his script to Murugadoss in early 2012 and the pair agreed to make a film featuring Arya and Nayanthara in the lead roles.[8] Jai was also signed on to feature in a pivotal role in the film, appearing as Nayanthara's love interest in a flashback segment.[9] Initially Priya Anand was considered another leading role, but the opportunity was later offered to Nazriya Nazim who had made her debut with Neram (2013) in Tamil films.[10] Sathyaraj, Santhanam and Sathyan were also signed to play other supporting roles in the film.[11] The film has music by G. V. Prakash Kumar, art direction by T. Muthuraj and cinematography by debutant George, a former associate of Nirav Shah.[12]
Filming
The film began its first schedule at a bungalow in Greams road, Chennai.[13] Kamal Haasan switched on the camera and a song picturizing Jai and Nayanthara was canned on the occasion.[14] The sequence involving Jai and Nayantara will be canned first and Arya will join the team after he completes his work on Irandam Ulagam.[15]
