Winner
(Prashant-Kiran) Director
Sunder C. and Prashant come together for the film titled 'Winner'. Playing
Prashant's romantic lead is Kiran. Arthi Agarwal who has done a few Telugu films
has been roped in for a dance number. The supporting cast has Vadivelu, Jaykumar,
Nirosha, Sumitra, Riyaz Khan and a new villain Pratap Singh. The film is being
shot in Chennai and Hyderabad, with two of the songs to be picturised abroad. Sunder, apart from wielding the
megaphone, also pens the story and screenplay. Stunts are choreographed by
Dalapathi Dinesh, editing is by Sai Suresh, music by Yuvan Shanker Raja, Lyrics
by Pa. Vijay, dance choreography by Brinda, and cinematography by Prasad. In
this film where sentiment and comedy are blended, Prashant plays a youth from a
village who comes to the city and takes up a job at a marriage hall. Some scenes
were shot on the lead pair at Vasan House, Chennai, the place decorated to
resemble the ambience of a wedding to take place. The bride to be was Kiran.
Prashant had fallen in love with her, and the scene was of him trying to
convince Kiran that she should back out of the marriage, and reciprocate his
love. It was a hilarious scene as the hero tries to express his feelings to the
would-be-bride and tries to convince her, as she stands flustered and nervous. "It's
a story about a family which gets separated due to a love affair. But it's again
another love affair which re-unites them." Sunder C. is good at comedy
subjects and hopefully the Prashant-Sunder combination should bring in a
'Winner'. The film is produced by Ramachandran.
