Seedan’ is a Dhanush film

Cinemimi[Saturday, January 29, 2011]
Dhanush’s upcoming movie ‘Seedan’ has started its promotions and the materials feature Dhanush prominently. The promos say ‘Dhanush in amazing appearance’. This has puzzled many because there was news before saying ‘Seedan’ cannot be called Dhanush film as he plays only a cameo.

But the director of the film Subramaniam Siva strongly disagrees and asserts ‘Seedan’ will be accepted as Dhanush film. Siva reveals that Dhanush enters the scene towards the end of the first half and then carries the rest of the film on his shoulders.

It is an important role and without Dhanush the story makes no sense, the director clarifies. Siva further praises Dhanush for accepting a role without conventional heroics in spite of being a mass hero. His character will be like that of Amir Khan in ‘Tare Zameen Par’ and Vijayakanth in ‘Oomai Vizhigal’. Such a strong central character Dhanush plays according to the director.

Starring newcomer Krishna and ‘Naadodigal’ fame Ananya of romantic lead, ‘Seedan’ has Suhasini Mani Ratnam, Sheela and Vivek in other supporting roles. The hit combo of Dhanush-Subramaniam Siva is coming together after the super success of their 2003 blockbuster ‘Thiruda Thirudi’.
