Kanaa

Kanaa is a Tamil sports movie written and directed by Arunraja Kamaraj. The movie star cast includes Sathyaraj, Aishwarya Rajesh and Darshan in the lead roles, where actor Sivakarthikeyan did an extended cameo role.  The movie is produced by Sivakarthikeyan under his new production banner 'SK Productions'. The music is composed by Dhibu Ninan Thomas, cinematography by Dinesh Krishnan, edited by Ruben. Kanaa is a dream of a village girl to make it big in the field of cricket. A daughter of a poor farmer, who happens to be a cricket fanatic, Kausalya (Aishwarya Rajesh) fantasizes the sport while she lags behind with her academics. She has to deal with a typical mother but a super supportive father in order to realize her dreams. She hails from a tiny village where pursuing dreams by female is considered as a sin. Murugesan (Sathyaraj) is shown as a huge cricket follower when he stands as strong as a rock when his father passes away but breaks down when India loses a match. He is a practical thinker and also, stands by the side of his daughter no matter what.  He goes easy on his daughter's academics while he tries everything to make her daughter a successful cricketing professional.  We will be introduced to Dilip Nelsonkumar (Sivakarthikeyan), a cricket coach who is subtle, sensible and gentle. Unlike the typical Siva, we see a matured and professional actor in the form of coach.  The bonding between Murugesan and Kausalya are shot in a convincing manner which makes daughters crave for a father like Murugesan. The emotional connect between the duo is commendable as Murugesan.
