Next step for Shanthanu

Eminent director-actor Bhagyaraj’s son Shanthnoo announced his arrival in style in Sakkarakkatti. Now, he is acting in Moser Baer’s Puthiya Vaarpugal, directed by his father. With this film nearing its completion, Shanthnoo has been involved in talks with many directors of Kollywood for his next film. And it looks like Shanthnoo will work in director Udayan’s Athakalam (also spelt as Adhakalam) reportedly. The buzz is that the film will be produced by Lakshmi Movie Makers who produced Silambattam. It is said that when the director approached Shanthnoo with Athakalam’s script, the young hero was very impressed and readily agreed to be a part of it. Shanthnoo feels that a film with Udayan, the director who gave the hit Perarasu (Vijaykanth), will do his career a world of good.

There is no doubt Shanthnoo’s career will head in the right direction after the release of Puthiya Vaarpugal, a beautiful love story. Being directed by sharp-minded and witty Bhagyaraj, Puthiya Vaarpugal has kindled the cinemagoers’ curiosity. There is no doubt the film will be abundant in witty dialogues and beautiful screenplay, as Bhagyaraj is an exceptional dialogue and screenplay writer too.

A new heroine, Chandini, gets introduced to the Kollywood through this film. The entire unit of Puthiya Vaarpugal agrees that Chandini and Shanthnoo’s onscreen chemistry is one of the film’s attractions.
