Vaaranam Aayiram finally in Afghanistan!

April 8th, 2007

Everything is in place now for Varanum Aayiram to begin. The shooting for ‘Vaaranam Ayiram’ may start this month end or beginning of next month. Because of his trust and confidence in Gautham Menon, Surya has been waiting patiently.The film had been going through a sort of a lag phase where things were moving at a sluggish pace.

The launch of the movie had been a grand affair, but one heard little else after that. Just when talks of Surya preparing to shoot for Vel were coming through, we get the news that Varanum Aayiram is ready to roll. Goutham has decided to move out of his comfort zones of Chennai and Hyderabad for this movie. The first schedule of the shooting will be held in Afghanistan from the 11th of April. Yes! You heard it right… the land of the Taliban. We had a Hindi movie, Kabul Express shot there recently. Vaaranam Ayiram would be the next movie to get the credit of venturing into the rugged terrains. This will be followed by a schedule in Malaysia. USA and Russia are also on the locations list. The cast and crew have made preparations for what is going to be a tough 10 days in the cold of Afghanistan.

Surya is acting as an 18 year old in the film. For this, he has gone on a diet and is doing vigorous exercise to slim down. He is also learning to have a kiddish look on his face.

There are 2 heroines in the film. One is ‘kuthu’ Ramya. They are still looking out for the other heroine! Let’s wish Gautham and crew all the best for Varanum Aayiram.
