Debutant
director
Nelson
Venkatesan
says
forthcoming
Tamil
drama
Oru
Naal
Koothu,
a
modern-day
take
on
marriage,
will
be
easily
relatable
to
majority
of
the
audiences.
"The
story
revolves
around
questions
that
arise
when
we
talk
about
marriage.
It
will
easily
appeal
to
eight
out
of
ten
people
in
the
audience.
A
decade
or
two
ago
people
didn't
fear
when
it
came
to
marriage.
However,
wedding
comes
with
a
lot
of
stress
nowadays
and
it
all
boils
down
to
impressing
people
on
the
day
of
the
marriage," Nelson
told
IANS.
The
film
addresses
marriage
from
the
perspective
of
different
people.
"The
story
is
based
on
the
experiences
of
many
people
from
my
own
life.
When
it
comes
to
marriage,
there
are
so
many
problems
lately.
People
don't
want
to
get
their
daughter
married
to
a
lawyer
or
to
those
working
in
the
media.
We've
tried
to
touch
upon
such
issues
too,
in
the
film,"
he
said.
It
stars
Dinesh,
Mia
George,
Nivetha
Pethuraj,
Ritwika
and
Karunakaran.
Oru
Naal
Koothu,
which
releases
in
cinemas
this
Friday
(June
10),
happens
to
be
Dinesh's
first
release
after
the
National
award-winning
film
Visaaranai.
Nelson
said
Dinesh
found
it
difficult
to
detach
himself
from
Visaaranai,
because
the
role
in
the
film
took
a
toll
on
him.
"He
had
a
tiring
time
working
on
the
film.
After
'Visaaranai',
he
looked
very
tired
and
he
took
time
to
join
the
sets
of
my
film.
While
we
started
shooting
from
March
2015,
Dinesh
joined
us
only
in
June.
I
wanted
him
to
take
enough
time
to
rest,"
he
said.
The
biggest
challenge
for
Nelson
was
to
ensure
there
was
no
hangover
of
Dinesh's
character
from
Visaaranai,
in
his
film.
"We
changed
everything
about
Dinesh.
He
had
to
undergo
personal
grooming
session
and
we
even
changed
his
hairstyle
to
ensure
that
he
looked
appealing.
We
hope
audience
will
like
the
Dinesh
they
will
see
in
the
film,"
he
added.
Unlike
his
previous
roles,
Dinesh
plays
an
urban
character.
"He
plays
a
guy
from
a
small
town
who
has
shifted
to
a
metropolitan.
Although
he
plays
an
urban
character,
you
can
still
find
the
essence
of
a
small-town
guy
in
his
character
and
the
way
it's
portrayed,"
he
said.
Nelson
is
all
praise
for
his
heroines
-
Mia,
Nivetha
and
Ritwika.
"Mia
plays
an
angelic
character.
She
has
done
justice
to
her
role.
While
Nivetha
is
a
newcomer,
you
won't
find
any
sign
of
that
in
the
film.
Ritwika
is
extremely
talented
and
she
pulled
off
a
different
role
very
convincingly,"
he
explained.
Produced
by
Selva
Kumar,
the
film
has
music
by
Justin
Prabhakaran.
