Vadivelu will be hero in Indralogathil.....

Comedian Vadivelu is the hero in "Indralogathil Na. Azhagappan". This is the second film in which Vadivelu is playing the hero after "Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi", a runaway hit, produced by Shankar. "Indralogathil Na. Azhagappan" is a mythological story with social theme. Vadivelu will appear in four roles as Indiran, Eman, Naradar and human being Azagappan.

There will be three heroines. To play the female lead role of Ramba opposite Vadivelu (Azhagappan), Shilpa Shetty has been approached. For Urvasi and Menaka characters, actresses are being scouted.

Story, screenplay, dialogue and direction are by Thambi Ramayya. He has acted along with Vadivelu in comedy scenes in many films. The film will be produced by V. Rajagopal under the banner of All Lights Production. While Sabesh-Murali will score the music, Dudley Romario will handle the camera.

A huge set is being erected on the banks of the Godavari in Andhra Pradesh where the shooting of the film begins in February.

It will be a "casting coup" if Shilpa Shetty gives her nod to pair with Vadivelu whose stock has gone up after the phenominal success of "Imsai Arasan...".

"Indralogathil..." is said to be a remake of the 1956 blockbuster comedy "Rambayin Kadhal" with veteran actress late Bhanumathy playing Ramba and comedian late Thangavelu playing opposite her.

The man behind Vadivelu's success in general is said to be Thambi Ramayya who can write unusual scripts. . While many film-makers are ready with their scripts to rope in Vadivelu as a hero after "Imsai Arasan...", it is Ramayya who was able to persuade Vadivelu to play the lead role in "Indralogathil...". Producer Rajagopal has already acquired the rights to remake "Rambayin Kadhal". Ramayya is reworking the script to suite the present-day audiences, according to sources.
