Actor Jiiva

Actor Jiiva

Big 10!

Actor Jiiva has completed 10 eventful years in the industry. The actor, who started his innings with Asai Asaiyaai, has been part of big projects such as Ameer’s Raam, Sasi’s Dishyum, K.V. Anand’s Ko, and Shankar’s Nanban. The son of producer RB Choudhary, Jiiva is excited about this week’s release David and forthcoming projects such as Endrendrum Punnagai and Yaan. Says the actor, “I’m happy to have crossed a milestone, but I also realise I must sharpen my acting talent and work harder. I have enjoyed working in the industry, and I hope my forthcoming films showcase my skills more.”

Car story

A lot of films come with titles that make one sit up and take notice. The latest to join that list is Pannaiyarum Padminiyum. While actor Jayaprakash plays the pannaiyar, Vijay Sethupathy plays the driver in this film directed by S.U. Arun Kumar. It was apparently a short film initially. Says the director, “After watching my short film, producer M.R. Ganesh asked me if I could make it into a feature film; I was delighted. When I began the casting, I wanted Jayaprakash and Vijay Sethupathy for the roles they are now doing. The music is by Justin Prabakaran, and cinematography by Gokul Benoi. The film aims to be a comedy with twists and turns.” So, who is this Padmini? He points to a Premier Padmini!
