Priya - A New Woman Director for Tamil

Pongal releases were sink, except S Films (Shankar's production) Kadal doing good even in tsunami affected areas. Expecting a few good flims for this year like Rajini's Chandramukhi, Shankar's Anniyan, Kamal's Mumbai Express and to add....

In Tamil movies, women directors are a rarity. Priya, who worked as an assistant to Mani Ratnam, is about to become an exception -- she is working on a love story. The producer of the film is the National Award winning actor Prakash Raj. He had earlier made a small but successful film called Azhagiya Theeye.

Prasanna, who acted in Azhagiya Theeye, plays the lead in Priya's film as well. The movie also stars Karthik Kumar, Laila and Revathy.

The movie Kana Kanda Naal Muthal is a triangular love story, but with P C Sreeram behind the camera, it is likely to be different. He is one cinematographer who would not accept a project unless he felt passionately about the story.
