Director Sami seems excited that his upcoming film, Kangaroo, has got a U certificate. All of his previous films — Uyir, Mirugam and Sindhu Samaveli — have tackled controversial subjects and consequently been given A certificates by the censors. “My aged mother was responsible for my making the film. She wanted me to make a feel-good film for family audiences. Kangaroo talks about the love and bonding between an older brother and younger sister. There may have been many films highlighting brother-sister love, but my screenplay is unique. With meaningful lyrics by Vairamuthu and the five songs by (singer) Srinivas, I am confident of Kangaroo’s success. I have tried a different genre this time and if it doesn’t click, maybe I will go back to the style of my previous films,” says Sami. Kangaroo , starring Arjuna, Priyanka and Varsha Ashwathi, is expected to release by end-December.
