Dhanush is keen to strike it rich with his Polladhavan. The movie’s name is inspired by his father-in-law (Rajnikanth’s) earlier film. Speaking about the film, Dhanush says, “I play a boy next-door with dreams and aspirations to come up in life.

The problems that I encounter in realizing my mission are what the story is all about”. The movie is directed by debutant Vettrimaran and features Divya (Kuthu Fame Ramya) as the heroine. “Vettrimaran, who had worked as an associate to cinematographer - director Balu Mahendra is directing the film.

Divya plays my heroine. It is a romantic entertainer and we are planning for a release soon”. Polladhavan has cinematography by Velraj and editing by V T Vijayan. A major portion of the movie was shot in and around Chennai. Quick to deny that the movie would have no influence of Rajnikanth’s mega hit Polladhavan, Vettrimaran says, “It was indeed a joy to work with a hero like Dhanush for my debut venture itself. He was very co-operative. A director’s actor, Dhanush has come out with right expressions in the movie”. On Divya, he says, “She is an actress with abundant energy and talent.

She has done justice to her role”. “G V Prakash has come up with half-a-dozen peppy songs for the movie and is sure to top audio charts”, he adds. “A mix of action, romance and humour, Polladhavan is sure to rock the audience”, he says.
