Venkat Prabhu's Biriyani - Movie Preview
Venkat Prabhu became one of the most-sought after directors after his run away hit Mankatha with Ajith Kumar. After the massive success of the flick, he did not hurry to sign any movie rather he took his own time to come up with a good script. Then, he signed Karthi and Hansika Motwani for the romantic-comedy movie Biriyani, which is releasing this Friday (December 20).
Prior to signing Biriyani to Studio Green, Venkat Prabhu reportedly planned a movie with Surya for the same production house. But due to some reasons, the project was delayed and the director choose the Ghajini actor's brother Karthi for Biriyani. He retained the same technical team (Musician Yuvan Shankar Raja, cinematographer Sakthi Saravanan, editors Praveen KL and NB Srikanth) that worked with him in Mankatha.
Samantha, Parineeti Chopra and Ileana D'Cruz were considered for the movie but Richa Gangopadhyay was the lucky one to bag the flick. The actress had excitedly spoken about Biriyani but she was shown the door for some reasons and was replaced by Hansika Motwani. Premji Amaren, who was seen in small roles in Venkat Prabhu's earlier movies, was roped in again. This time, he was given a bigger role.
The shooting was officially started in October 2012. Biriyani has been shot in Chennai, Pondicherry, Hyderabad, Spain, Portugal and other places. Continue reading the preview on the slideshow...
