'Oram Po' shooting completed

Arya's 'Oram Po' shooting is completed. The original title of this film was "Auto". The name has been changed as "Oram Po". Arya plays the lead role. Plays opposite him is Pooja. Other lead characters are played by Lal and John Vijay.

Interestingly, the film is directed by the first husband- wife team, Pushkar and Gayathri and produced by V. Pazhanivel and A.C. Anandan under the banner of A.P. Film Garden. These producers have made many successful films, including "Vaadiyar".

Pushkar and Gayathri, both apprenticed at Hollywood, have adopted the Hollywood techniques and standards for "Oram Po".

The movie is all about Chennai and portrays the unseen face of the City. Has anyone witnessed a procession of auto rickshaws racing down the road after midnight when traffic of all other vehicles thins down? "Oram Po" showcases this pulsating midnight auto race and what this competition leads to.

Arya plays the character of Chandru, a typical Chennai youth. Pooja appears as the "queen" of a biriyani shop and she delivers dialogues in 'Chennai Tamil' adding flavor to the milieu of the film. It is a mix of romance action and comedy, according to Director Pushkar. Co-director Gayathri says as the autos are the story-base, the tri-wheelers are painted in different colors and the artistes are also given funny names like Migilu, Son of Gun, Kathri, Mampla and Supplier.

The film's major attraction is its music and songs. This is the second movie for music composer G.V.Prakash (cousin of A.R. Rahman) after his successful debut in "Veyil"; He has used an array of singers to capture the mood of each song using the 'Veyil' formula. Rap singer Blaaze has sung the theme song "Oram Po" written by Thyagarajan Kumararaja. The love duet "Idhu Enna Mayam" is sung by Shankar Mahadevan and Alka Yagnik. Kailsh Kher and Jassie Gift have rendered the kuthu song "Kozhil kalu". The composer has chosen Vijaya T. Rajendhar to sing "Gum Ganapathy" which may win him accolades as a singer. The other singers are Sunitha Sarathy, George Peter and Manicka Vinayagam.

The shooting is over and post-production work is under way.
