It is an unlikely combination.
Cheran is all rustic poetry, full of ideas and inspiration from the land.
Kamalini, on the other hand, is a doe-eyed beauty from Bengal. She seems like a verse from Rabindra Sangeeth. She has done quite a few meaningful films like Phir Milenge, Shekar Kammula's Anand and Godavari and the most recent Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyadau in Tamil.
There is little to make a connection between the two, Cheran and Kamalini.
But Karu Palaniappan will.
He has cast the twosome as the hero and heroine of his new movie.
Karu Palaniappan is one of the smart directors around. His Sivapathigaram and Parthiban Kanavau had something extra and interesting.
Karu Palaniappan is making the film for Gnanam Movies.
Vidyasagar, a Karu Palaniappan favourite, is the music director.
Kamalini, who is busy in Telugu, will begin shooting for the movie after Cheran winds up Maya Kannadi.
