Besides that, the writer is also working on the story, screenplay and dialogues for a Tamil film – 2000 Sathuradi Sorgam – helmed by director Augustine of Othakal Mandapam fame.
Recalling his experience on the sets of Sandamarudham, Rajesh Kumar declared that he was given “full freedom” by director Venkatesh. “Director Venkatesh came to me with a usual script, but I suggested a scientific touch to make the story more gripping. I introduced him to the scientific term ‘Obva Lasika’ which forms the crux of the story”.
Sandamarudham – starring Sarath Kumar, Oviya and Meera Nandan – hits the screens on February 20.
