The chemistry of love
U yir Mozhi is all about DNA for which director Rajaa has cast five actors — Sartaj, Shashi, Charms, Raithu and Bobby Antony — to represent the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Omega traits. Set against these five characteristic males is Keerthi as Priya, a young and beautiful music teacher. “In today’s world, there are no Alpha men as such, while men generally are a combination of Beta, Gamma, Omega and Delta. Each one has a typical trait which surfaces depending on the situation. Hence, when Priya comes across each of the five characters at different stages in her life, they fall in love with her and all of them want to marry her. How the DNA factor works in Priya’s relationship with each of them and finally, which one will match her DNA is what Uyir Mozhi is all about,” says Rajaa.

Focus on the feudal system
Set in Thanjavur in the 90s, Rajagopuram seeks to trace the changes that have taken place over the years, from an era of princes and zamindars. It showcases a father-son relationship in a feudal family. Playing a devoted son is Yuvan, while Thambi Ramaiah dons the father’s role. Director Farheed, who worked as an assistant on Kalavani , has made this film a complete family entertainer. “The rural backdrop of Thanjavur has lent itself very well to the theme. In interior areas of the district, vestiges of the feudal system remain and elders in the family find it difficult to adjust to the modern lifestyle. Yuvan represents modern youth. Cast opposite him is Arushi. The others in the cast include ‘Makapu’ Anand, Rithambika and Suri Appukutty,” says Farheed.
