Fresh of the success of the controversial adult comedy Iruttu Araiyil Murattu Kuthu, Gautham Karthik has teamed up with director Muthaiah, popular for his rural-based projects such as Komban and Marudhu, for a rural-based project. Titled Devarattam, the film was officially launched with a customary pooja on May 22 in Chennai. Over the weekend, the makers confirmed that Manjima Mohan, who was launched by Gautham Vasudev Menon in Achcham Yenbathu Madamaiyada, has been signed opposite Gautham in the film.
The news about the project did make the rounds a few months ago but it was never officially verified until yesterday. To be bankrolled by Studio Green, the film will also star Soori in a key role. The film starts rolling from today. It will be a village-based commercial film similar to Komban. The rest of the cast is yet to be finalized. As for the crew, we’ve got cinematographer Sakthi Saravanan of Mankatha and Saroja fame. Nivas Prasanna will handle the music and Praveen KL will be in charge of editing.
