Film Agarathi is thriller’s dictionary

Director Naga Venkatesh who is directing the film Agarathi while speaking to the media said, “There is always a special place for thriller films in Tamil cinema. Rajesh Kumar comes into the mind of all people when they think of thriller story. We have adapted his novel Iravu Nera Vaanavil into a film which is titled Agarathi. Many are asking that Rajesh Kumar’s stories have been made into T V serials and whether this story had cinema element in it. I should say there was lots of it. As technology advances murder also advances. The story is about the money which becomes the reason for crime in the relationship of a brother and sister. A girl comes from Delhi to her brother’s house. She finds an unknown dead body in her brother’s house. During the police enquiry they find the dead bodies of her brother and sister in law in the well. Who is the reason for these continuous murders is narrated in a spine thrilling manner. There is a question that in a story where Rajesh Kumar writes there will be no sensual matter and how was it possible for the beauties like Monica, Oviya, Kirthi Chawla, Rahasiya and Bhuvaneswari to act in this film. Everybody has justified according to the roles given to them. Monica has taken many risks without using dupes. We have actually fixed Oviya to do the role of Monica’s friend. But her film Kazhavani was released before this film could be released. Now she has become popular. I am really happy about this. Before I commenced the shooting I showed the whole script to Rajesh Kumar. He was fully satisfied. Now after seeing the whole film he had the same satisfaction.”
