Jeeva’s films were totally different (Muthirhai)

lakshmi raiFulfilling her dead husband’s wishes has become the mainstay of her life – we are talking about Anees, wife of late Jeeva, the director who made grand films including 12B and Unnale Unnale. Fulfilling Jeeva’s long-cherished dream of starting a film production company, Anees started Vision Jeeva Studios, whose first production will be Muthirai (also spelt as Muthirhai) starring Lakshmi Rai, Nithin Sathya, Daniel Balaji and Manjari Phadnis. It is an interesting commercial film about two conmen who are fast friends.

Jeeva’s films were totally different from the usual movies that Kollywood audiences were used to. Similarly, Anees plans to make Muthirai stand out from other films. So she has added quite a lot of unique attractions to it. First, she made Rakhi Sawant dance in an item song. Now, her crew has revealed that they built a small village for the film! Completely devoid of any modernity, this village will be something that no one has ever seen! Initially, the crew planned to find such a village in the Andaman Islands, which looked like some lost world, but later gave up the plan considering the hardships it would inflict on the actors. So the art director of Muthirai and his crew have built a village, which is unimaginably rustic and one of the film’s highlights.

Muthirai is directed by Jeeva’s assistant Srinath and its music is composed by Yuvanshankar Raja.
