‘Films on friendship have become a rarity in Tamil cinema. The camaraderie, sacrifice and encouragement of friends forms the crux of the movie Nadodigal,’ says its director Samuthirakani, the villain of the recent blockbuster Subramaniapuram.

The film is a story of four friends and their love affairs. Interestingly, the hero of the movie is Sasikumar, the director of Subramaniapuram.

Ananya, a popular actress from Malluwood, will be the heroine of Nadodigal. Heaping laurels on Sasikumar, Samuthirakani said that his role has more dimensions to it than the one he played in Subramaniapuram. ‘Sasikumar has done complete justice to his character which displays myriad emotions,’ he said.

The highlight of the movie is that 120 new faces have made their appearances. Characters in the film are portrayed realistically.Sasikumar, on his part, said, ‘audiences are always receptive to good cinema. The success of Subramaniapuram and Pasanga are pointers to this. Nadodigal is again a different movie which is entertaining and carries a good message as well.’

The crux of the story would be based on the popular Tamil saying, Yaadhum Oore, Yaavarum Kaelir (The world is for everyone and all its people are kindred).

Nadodigal has been produced by the Mumbai based Global Infotainment Pvt Ltd. It will have much of the Subramaniapuram technical team handling various departments like S R Kathir- camera. Sundar C Babu has scored the music.

The rest of the cast includes Kanja Karuppu, Barani, Vijay, Chandini Deva, Ranga and Abhinaya.
