After Pudupettai and Paramasivan, the film to watch out for is the Surya-Jyothika-Bhumika Chawla starrer, Jillendru Oru Kathal.
Following the success of Ghajini, Surya is the most happening actor in Tamil, on par with Vijay and Vikram. Naturally, this home production by his cousin Gjanavel has generated a lot of interest and curiosity in the industry. Add to this the fact that he is paired with much-talked-about real "love" Jyothika, who recently told a Telugu magazine that they were to marry soon.
Another reason the film has received a lot of publicity is because Asin, who was supposed to be the second heroine, walked out of the project. Asin and Surya became the hottest on-screen pair after the unprecedented success of Ghajini. Audiences loved the magic they created on screen. Asin turned down the project saying she was not sure how much mileage she would get as 'second' heroine, but Bhumika Chawla accepted her role.
Jillendru Oru Kadhal will be directed by Krishna who was an associate of Gowtham Menon in Minnale and Gharshana, the Telugu remake of Kaakha Kaakha. Another interesting feature is its music, composed by none other than A R Rahman.
