A Still From Ivar

Friendship matters

        The audio of Ivar, produced by A G Raja and directed by his friend, debutant N Priyan, was launched recently without much pomp and celebration. "We believe that quality of work is important. Publicity comes only after that," said a source close to the unit.

        Talking to CT, Raja said, "There are many highlights in Ivar, For instance, the album, which has music by Kavi Periathambi, an RJ and a close friend of mine, doesn't have any duet. Also the songs are all sung by male singers, We have shot the film as realistically as possible. There are no dancers dancing in the background or stunt men beating each other."

         The movie is about four friends who don't care about the past or the future. They live for the day. "But their life turns topsyturvy after a particular stay together and face the crisis forms the rest of the story,"  Raja added.

         While Vijay Anand, Ila, Perarasan and Hussain play the male leads, Athulya from Kerala makes her debut as the heroine.

         "Interestingly, almost all the technicians in the film are my friends. I wanted to give them a break," said Raja,"We are getting ready to show the film to the censor board. I'm sure the will like it." Ivar is likely to hit the screens by the end of May.
