Director Rudhran, who is a former associate of Vikram Kumar of ‘Yavarum Nalam‘ fame, has started a film titled ‘Vetri Selvan‘, with Ajmal in the lead. He says he actually penned the story having Vijay in the mind.

“However, due to some reasons, Vijay is not part of the movie. The film is about three individuals (Ajmal, Mano and Sherrif) who bring about a change in the society. How they are able to make it is the crux of the story,” Rudhran says.
Ramesh Kumar, who made a big mark with ‘Oomai Vizhigal‘, is the cinematographer of the movie, the director says and adds: “Radhika Apte plays the heroine. Music is by Mani Sharma and lyrics by Madhan Karky.”
Stating that he initially named the movie ‘Ranam‘, Rudhran says he then changed it to ‘Sathyavan‘. “However, I felt the need to give a positive title to the film and then I changed it as Vetri Selvan, a name symbolizing victory.”























Ajmal is busy working for the film Karuppampatti directed by Prabhu..
The film has Ajmal essaying characters belonging to three different generations.Aparna Bajpai is in female lead, while MS Baskar, Jagan, Chetan, Devadarshini are doing supporting roles.
Sources say,the actor had spent a few weeks learning French and dubbed for one of his characters in the film recently.
He was quoted saying I play a youngster who comes to Karuppampatti from France. I even have a girlfriend in the country! So, it was important for me to be familiar with the language..
It seems the actor has been busy learning the French pronunciation for a couple of weeks and he has finished dubbing for half his portions already.
Music for the film is scored by Kannan!
