Asathal |
The
P. Vasu-Sathyaraj team have worked together successfully in many films like
'Walter Vettrivel', 'Riksha Mama', 'Nadigan' and 'Malabar Police'. Now the duo
comes together in a new film titled ' Asathal'. Paired with Sathyaraj is Ramya
Krishnan. Swati, Manivannan, Mahanadi Shanker, Babylona, Ramesh Khanna and
Vadivelu are also in the cast. For this out and out comic entertainer, Vasu pens
the story-screenplay-dialogues, apart from directing the film.
The film is produced by theatre owner and distributor S. Rajaram for his banner
Mala Cine Creations.
Some scenes were shot on Sathyaraj, Ramesh Khanna,
Vadivelu and Manivannan. Vettri, Venu and Victor are friends. While Venu and
Victor lead a carefree life, it is Vettri who spends money for their daily
needs. When at one point Vettri expresses his thoughts about marriage, the duo
dissuades him from taking the step. If Vettri gets married, they fear, that
their source of entertainment and money would stop. So they inform Vettri,
"The astrologer says that if you get married now, it will have a very
negative influence on your life". But Vettri's uncle, who wants to see
his nephew married, tries to persuade him to take the step. Vettri however is
determined to remain single. "If I get married I'll lose my freedom. If my
wife turns out to be a quarrelsome and nasty woman, there are bound to be fights
and this will affect my health and peace of mind. So it's better that I don't
marry," he says. But Vettri's uncle is one up on his nephew. Says he,
"That's why I've chosen a girl who won't fight with you." The uncle
shows Vettri a photograph of a girl. Vettri is surprised to see that the girl is
a North Indian. The uncle says, "She doesn't know Tamil, and you don't know
Hindi. So there's no question of a fight!" Finally the uncle persuades
Vettri to marry the girl.
