The team, which made "Chennai-600 028" a fine movie, is back in "Saroja". Except for the producer, the same team is working together again. Venkat Prabhu is in charge of the story, screenplay, dialogue and direction. Amma Creations' T Shiva is producing "Saroja" in super 35 format.

Four poor young men get into an extraordinary situation on an ordinary day and how they manage to come out of it is the story of "Saroja". One of the main characters, Siva, is a television actor and he marries Kajal Agarwal. The wedding reception was shot at a mansion on East Coast Road, Chennai, earlier this month. The reception was literally star-studded.

Prakashraj and Jayaram play important roles along with Siva, Vaibhav, Saran and Premji Ameran. Premji and Brahmanandam handle the comedy track. A highlight is a traffic jam scene filmed at a huge cost, using about 200 buses, Lorries and other vehicles.

A song sequence was picturised at MGM featuring 30 to 35 5 television artistes. Matilda, winner of the best singer in the Singapore Idol Show club, sings in this film. The song, 'Aaja Meri Soniye' was shot in Singapore St. James Power Station, Asia's biggest entertainment club. Leading Hindi playback singer Adnan Sami sings the song, 'Kodana Kodi Athil Kulippom Vilaiyadi.'

Yuvan Shankar Raja, who set the tunes for the songs, has taken 50 days for the background score. Almost 90 per cent of the shooting has been done at nights. It is wholly a technicians' film and Venkat Prabhu guarantees 2-1/2-hours of 'happy experience'.

The film is being made in Telugu also. Disco Shanthi's husband Srihari plays the role donned by Jayaram in Tamil.
