Priyadarshan's Next: A Film On AIDS, Will Be Produced By Vijay!

Last time when Priyadarshan directed a Tamil movie in 2008, it went on to grab two National Awards. Now, the Kanchivaram team is back and is apparently aiming for many more such rewards.

On board are a bunch of elite technicians like cinematographer Santosh Sivan and art director Sabu Cyril. Director AL Vijay will be bankrolling this film, which will serve a higher purpose than just entertainment.

Priyadarshan's Next: A Film On AIDS, Will Be Produced By Vijay!

It is said that the team is targeting film festivals and that the movie will create a social awareness on AIDS, which is still a menace all over the globe.

Apart from retaining the main cast from Kanchivaram (Prakash Raj and Sriya Reddy), the maverick director has planned to rope in 14 new performers, according to a credible source.

So is another Kanchivaram on the cards? Priyadarshan in an interview has said otherwise, "though the film is message oriented, it will not fail to make the audience laugh as it is not a morbid film".

Morbid or not, a film created for the goodness of mankind has to be appreciated and with a crew like this, it can be safely said that this upcoming film is poised to achieve big.
