The story of Kathavarayan is set in a place that has grabbed the headlines recently – Hogenakkal. But the scene of shooting  discussed here is ARS garden, near porur, which has a permanent police station set and also a hospital.

Karan, the hero, was sitting on the bed with a bandage on his head. HE had a young girl for company. Karan backoned after director Salangai Durai finished the shot. “I play a bootlegger, popular in the area,”Karan outlined the story. I feel what I do is right whereas the heroine is against alcohol. How can she accept a person who sells liquor on the sly? And she tries her best to wean him. I accepted  the film mainly for one reason. It is normal in Tamil films to find the bad man being the bootlegger and the hero a police officer. But here it is other way round. The novelty attracted me. It will be a different film with all the box office ingredients,” he added.

Family Entertainer:

“we have shot three songs in Malaysia. The Karan-police game is a thrilling one. The film will offer clean entertainment for the entire family with a good story line, action, love and sentiment,” he said.

The cast includes Ilavarasu and “Kadhal” Dandapani in important  roles. Camera  has been handled by Karthik Raja and music is scored by Srikanth Deva.

The film is produced by V.Ramachandran, sadhiq and Devan.

Director Salangai Durai is also in charge of story, screenplay and dialogue.
