Pavel Navageethan, who was seen in critically acclaimed films such as Kuttram Kadithal, Peranbu, and Vada Chennai, garnered the attention of the film buffs with his performance. He is now all set to debut as director. His first directorial has been titled V1 and the first look of this film was unveiled by the Vada Chennai director Vetrimaaran.
The first look, in animated form, shows the details of a murder. It also has the caption “Find the Hidden Murder Date” which makes it interesting.
Produced jointly by Aravind Dharmaraj, NA Ramu, and Saravanan Ponraj, the film has been penned and directed by Pavel. It stars Lijeesh as the male lead. V1 will also has actor Linga, who was seen in the Vijay Sethupathi starrer Sindhubaadh.
On making his directorial debut, Pavel, had told in an interview to the New Indian Express much earlier, “Vetri sir saw the film and he said he liked it. I even told him that I was worried that Vada Chennai could brand me as an actor, while I preferred direction. But he told me to continue acting so I could learn more from those working around me.”
He added, “I was waiting for a good banner to release the film. Vada Chennai has made that process easier. I was roaming around with a script for eight years, but no one paid heed. But now that I’m a known actor, it opens up more avenues for me. I suppose it gives them a sense of confidence that I can make a good film. I’ll speak about it more when the film is ready for release.”
