3)Irumbu Kottai Murattu Singam:
For the film 'Irumbu Kottai Murattu Singam' a huge crew of Actors, have learnt horse riding professionally Lawrence, Lakhshmi Rai, Sai Kumar, Elavarasu, Vaiyapuri and Chams use to go to beahc in the mornign for practicing horse riding. Lakshmirai alone used to practice during breaks and rode beautifully. On the whole everyone is a horse riding specialist. This story happens in the 18th Century. So, in 'Irumbu Kottai Murattu Singham' no where you can see anybody wearing saree, even for junior artist`s. We have used gown type dresses. Near to the debris of Vijaynagar Kingdom Kandikottai and Kandi Cannal shooting took place where no one has shot so far. A dam which is 300 kms far we had rented a boat and travelled 20 kms through the river to reach the other end of the river bank. The river was 30ft deep and the scenes were shot with the artists standing on a boat made of raw wooden planks. Which was really risky shooting was done even inside the rave bat caves... bearing the stink.
For the vet director Mr.Chimbudevan this is the 3rd film after 'Imsai Arasan' 23rd Pulikesi and Arai Enn 305il, Kadavul this film would be a fantasy comedy mixed for the audience, this film would be a different experience.

4) Porkkalam:
The up-to-the-minute entrant to the opposition is ‘Porkkalam’ by first manifestation Bandi Saroj Kumar. Saroj is very convinced of the flick as well as just had a kid the feedback of the listeners to this dark absentminded achievement motion picture to be terrific.
Kishore who play the villain role in ‘Polladhavan’ is playing the lead role used for the first time. Kannada Smitha is the heroine. Others comprises of Biju Menon, Santhanabharathy, Tinu Anand on or after Bollywood, Sampath, Ponvannan as well as Lal in the center of others.
Yuvan Shankar Raja is disappearing away to be an added high pinnacle of ‘Porkkalam’.
By the revenue of Aayirathil Oruvan, Kutty, Irumbu Kottai Murattu Singam as well as Naanayam up to that time deep-rooted for Pongal the innovative murky stallion of the minute in time of time would well be ‘Porkkalam’.

5) Naanayam:
