Taking part in the audio launch of Arohanam, directed by actress Lakshmi Ramakrishnan, in Chennai on Tuesday, K Balachander said, ‘the movie has been done at shoestring budget without compromising on the quality. Lakshmi Ramakrishnan has done a wonderful job as director. Inspired by her, I want to do low-budget movies now’.
Releasing the first copy of the audio, set to tunes by K, he said, ‘Lakshmi has managed to extract the best from all his artistes. Viji Chandrasekhar, sister of veteran actress Saritha, who played the lead role reminds me of her sibling in her hey days. She has done a fantastic job’.

Produced by PV Anoop and to be released by JSK Film Corporation, Arohanam speaks about a sensitive issue, which Lakshmi did not want to reveal.
