'Kaantham' showcases some new talent

Prathab, who has scored the music for 'Kaantham' (magnet), says his team has worked on the lyrics to make the songs appeal to the youth. This is his first venture as a full-fledged composer. Born in a family of musicians, he started playing the keyboard at the age of six.

The producer, Sanjay Ganesh, speaking at the audio launch, said as he was looking for some talented people he spotted Prathab.

Tej, who is the hero, was first cast by producer K.T. Kunjuman in his film 'Kadhalukku Maranam Illai' in the lead. He has also played the lead in 'Konjam Veyil Konjam Mazhai.

Besides playing the lead role in 'Kaantham', Tej (engineering graduate and MBA in Information Technology) has written story and screenplay for the film.

He said it is a youthful and romantic film the theme of which is that no problem is beyond solution if handled with love. The hero tries to solve all the problems through love which has the power to attract people.

The female lead, Rashmi, is a new find. Yet another unfamiliar face is Malaysian actor Poovesha, who does an important role.

Pandiarajan has provided a liberal dose of comedy.

Prem Shankar has handled the camera while Vishwa has done the editing. K. Suresh is the art director. 'Mirattal' Selvam has choreographed the action scenes.

Director Saravanan said 'Kaantham' is an entertainer with love as a catalyst. They have used 5D camera (1000 frames per second speed) for a song. The film has been shot in Bangalore, Kodaikanal and Chennai and it will hit the screens soon.

The album consists of four songs one of which ('Nee Vandhal') is full of pathos, sung by composer Prathab himself.
