Previously, we reported that Aparna Balamurali of Soorarai Pottru fame is onboard Dhanush’s sophomore directorial, Raayan. On Sunday, the actor shared her character’s poster from the film and penned a heartfelt note on working with Dhanush and other senior actors in the film.
She wrote, “Forever grateful to Dhanush sir for giving me the opportunity to become a part of Raayan. From being a huge fan, to working with you, is a dream come true! You are an inspiration sir! This is extremely special. It’s a blessing to share the screen with Dhanush sir himself, Selvaraghavan sir, SJ Suryah sir, Prakash Raj sir, My dearest Kannan Kalidas Jayaram, my amazing costar Sundeep Kishan and darling Dushara Vijayan. It’s an extremely special feeling to be a part of an AR Rahman musical. Words won’t be enough to express the feeling of working with you sir.” (sic)
Along with Aparna, the film also features a talented ensemble cast, including Kalidas Jayaram, Sundeep Kishan, SJ Suryah, Prakash Raj, Selvaraghavan, and Dushara Vijayan.
It is worth mentioning that Aparna, who won a National Award for her performance in the Suriya- starrer Soorarai Pottru, was last seen in Tamil in Nitham Oru Vaanam alongside Ashok Selvan. This will be the first time Dhanush and Aparna will be sharing screen space together.
The shooting of Raayan was wrapped in December last year and is currently in the post-production stage. The film’s technical team comprises music composer A R Rahman, cinematographer Om Prakash and editor Prasanna GK. The film has action choreography done by Peter Hein.
