Ameer will be returning to direction with a film that will have story penned by Vetri Maaran. It’s titled Iraivan Miga Periyavan.
Vetri Maaran, who directed Ameer in Vada Chennai will be co-writing the story with Thangam. The film will feature music by Yuvan Shankar Raja, who has composed music for the director’s Mounam Pesiyadhe, Raam, Paruthiveeran, and his last directorial, Aadhi-Bhagavan.
Bankrolled by Jaffer through JSM Pictures, Iraivan Miga Periyavanwill have cinematography by Ramji.
Ameer said, ‘This is more like a festival day for me. Usually, a movie launch involves a ritual ceremony with script book, but this is quite a different one. This is an inaugural function of a movie and everyone in the team felt the need of it. These days, the numbers of producers are declining, and not many are ready to embark on their journey here. Especially, a producer aspiring to make a film with me as a filmmaker should definitely own excess self-confidence. So, we as a team, wanted to introduce him during this occasion. We will share a lot about this project in many more following occasions.’
Vetrimaran said, ‘Thangam narrated me the story before a very long time. Later, both of us got involved in our projects respectively. After few days, we felt that it’s right time to get this project materialized. Usually, I am not a big fan of writing, but I have penned the screenplay for this movie. Well, that wasn’t an easy job, and I would often discuss it with Ameer. I have made some adaptations according to the contemporary times. When I wasn’t able to direct this movie, Ameer expressed his interest to helm this project, and I felt that he would be best person than me to handle this movie. He has made slight changes to the screenplay based on his life experiences. We all wanted to showcase the current social issues through a work, and this is the reason behind our collaboration.’.
