After playing the hero in various films in Tamil and Telugu, Jai Akash takes to direction. 'Madan' is a film where Akash, apart from donning the role of hero, also pens the story, screenplay, dialogue and turns director.
Paired with him are two heroines, Thamanna (of 'KD' fame) and Sunaina who has done a couple of Telugu films. A search is on for the third heroine.
The film, produced by Jai Balaji, a new production house, is presented by 'Sethu' Kandasamy. Santhanam has been roped in for comic relief while Doctor Ram plays the villian, with Surender Reddy for company. The cast includes some actors from Telugu films and it's Divya Vani, a Telugu actress, who plays the role of mother here.
The film is being shot at locations in Chennai and Ooty. Akash plans to shoot the songs abroad.
There are three music directors roped in to set the tunes, Bobby, Prithwi and Sai Sridhar.
The dances are choreographed by Kamal Balaji, while Rajesh Yadav cranks the camera.
The script has romance and action weaved in with Thavasiraj doing the stunt choreography.
Playing the hero just didn't seem to work for Akash, with him not tasting much success at the box office. This film with him turning director seems like a move to get the reins in his hands and get over his lean patch.
