The words "Ramarajan is back" will delight every fan of the cult classic Karagattakkaran and anyone who enjoys films shot in rustic backdrops reflecting rural sentiments and lifestyle. With several such films, Ramarajan became the quintessential "villager on the silver screen". He became a living legend in small towns and villages of Tamil Nadu and within a short span, he was Kollywood's Midas.Now, this great actor is back but with a difference. It had already been announced that he will act in Medhai in the lead role. Now, further details of the film have been announced with its shooting about to start soon. This time too, Ramarajan will take on the baddies, romance his heroine, join his sidekick and make merry; but he will do all this in a city. Medhai is a commercial entertainer whose story takes place in a city and the film has an abundance of comedy, romance, sentiments and all other masala elements needed for making a grand entertainer.
Though out of a rural backdrop, the 'Ramarajan effect' will be unaltered as he has a reliable partner in Vadivelu, and they both are going to rock in Medhai! Medhai will be directed by N.T.G. Saravanan, who had worked as an assistant to the "commercial cinema expert" Hari.
Story, screenplay and dialogues too have been written by this brilliant student, who would like to emulate his teacher Hari and produce commercial hits. The support cast comprises Charlie, Mahadevan, Ajay, Aryan, Harirajan, Hasini, Sona Nayar and K. Nataraj. Talks are on with several new faces and experienced actresses for the female lead role and soon, we will know who bags the role.
A confident Ramarajan says, "It gives me immense pleasure to come back to films, which I love as much as I love my life. Medhai is for my fans and it will have all that they expect from me. This film shall serve as my comeback vehicle. Music of this film, which is scored by Dhina, is excellent. And with Vadivelu's comedy track, the film will be more attractive. My fans will enjoy Medhai."
J. Sreedhar is the cinematographer, music is by Dhina and lyrics are by Gangai Amaran, Yugabharathy, Muthuvijayan, Parinaman and Muthulingam. The film is being produced under the banner of Kalaimagal Koodam. It would be a delight to watch Ramarajan back in action again. Will Medhai give us something like the memorable "vazahippazham joke" again? We will have to wait and see.
