“A family drama with romance as its bottom line,” is how P.V.Ravi, director of ‘Mahesh, Charanya Matrum Palar,’ describes his film. Ravi has apprenticed under Lingusamy.Shakti, who made his entry with “Thottal Poo Malarum,’ pairs with Sandhya. “The chemistry between the two should work wonders for ‘Mahesh..’” says Ravi. “After Thottal Poo Malarum I listened to atleast 20 scripts. But nothing struck a chord like the line of ‘Mahesh…’ did. And Ravi is unbelievably patient. After being ticked off ever so often by me dad.[P.Vasu] who directed me for “Thottal ..’ working with Ravi is a cakewalk,” laughs Shakti.”It will be pleasant film with familial ties and romance handled with sensitivity,” Ravi signs off.
