Sasanam
Sasanam is a 2006 Tamil drama film directed by Mahendran. The film set in the Chettinadu backdrop features Arvind Swamy, Gouthami and Ranjitha in leading roles, while Balabharathi composes the music and Nambiyathiri handles cinematography. The film began production in the mid1990s but was only released in 2006 due to production trouble, with all three of the lead actors retired at the time of release.
The film began production in the mid1990s and Balabharathi composed the music while Lenin and Vijayan were signed on as editors. Former State Assembly Speaker and senior AIADMK leader K. Kalimuthu penned a song for the film which was sung by Chithra, Sriram and Sathyanarayana.By 2000, the film was referred to as delayed, believed dead by the media, with reporters suggesting that Gouthamis change since signing the film would hinder any chances of release. During production, the films budget became overrun so Mahendran approached the National Film Development Corporation NFDC to take over the financing of the film in 2000. To avoid the film being delayed further due to financial problems, the lead actor Arvind Swamy opted against receiving any salary for the film. ........
