Director Ram, best known for
critically-acclaimed Tamil films such as "Kattradhu Tamizh" and "Thanga
Meengal", says his forthcoming release "Taramani" is inspired by
everything that he sees around him.
Starring Vasanth Ravi and singer-actress Andrea Jeremiah, the film is
slated for release on Friday.
"I live in an apartment and 'Taramani' is inspired and is the
interpretation of the things I see in and around my apartment, the
world around me and the prevailing culture among the youngsters and
their mindset about life and relationship," Ram told IANS.
The film takes a look at society and modern-day relationship in the age
of globalization.
"I think due to globalisation there is more freedom to today's Tamil
women and because of that our men are caught up between a modern and
conservative mindset in understanding their partner. My film throws the
spotlight on this perspective," he said.
In Chennai, Taramani refers to the locality where people working in
Information Technology (IT) sector usually live.
Ram's film goes beyond IT crowd.
" 'Taramani' is not just about IT sector population, it is actually
multi-cultural, multi-layered and multi-dimensional representing the
youngster's life and mindset in general. 'Taramani' will be a
slice-of-life story of every youngster," he added.
Heaping praise on Andrea, whom he considers a terrific performer, Ram
said, "She will be considered for major projects post the release of
'Taramani'. I haven't seen such a strong performer and she has played
her role to the tee."
