Jeeva who is emerging as a serious actor, bagged a plum role after the much acclaimed, Ram and here he plays a refugee from Sri Lanka. He meets a local politician’s daughter Bhavana and falls in love with her. Amidst many hurdles, how the lovers unite is the crux of the story, says the director.

Before the commencement of the shoot, Jeeva learnt how to pronounce Sri Lankan Tamil so that he can be perfect while delivering the dialogue.

He says that though it is a film based on a refugees life, there are no political overtones and it is a pure love story. Niru composed the music and MK Ekambaram cranked the camera.
