Sarkunam is currently writing the script, so we’re waiting on that. Once it is over, we’ll immediately begin filming. Side by side, pre-production work is also going on.”
Kalavani (2010) was set in rural Thanjavur and charted the rivalry between two neighbouring villages. Vimal played Arivazhagan, an unemployed young man dedicated to spending his father’s money. The film was Sarkunam’s debut directorial, and turned out to be a moderate success. Made on a budget of Rs. 1.5 crore, Kalavani went on to gross approximately Rs 5 crore at the box-office.
