It’s a wrap for Chekka Chivantha Vaanam!!

Mani Ratnam’s upcoming movie ‘Chekka Chivantha Vaanam’ (CCV) is an exciting movie for the stellar cast the director has assembled. Arvind Swamy, Vijay Sethupathi, Simbu, Arun Vijay, Aditi Rao Hydari, Jyothika and Aishwarya Rajesh are playing the lead roles in the movie, which is said to be a socio-political drama centered around an industrial power plant.

Reportedly, shoot for the movie got wrapped up last day in Serbia. Among the lead cast, only Simbu was part of this final schedule. All others had finished their portions much earlier. It is quite remarkable that Mani Ratnam could wrap up such a big multi-starrer in quick time.

Social drama has always been Mani Ratnam’s forte as he has proven with his films like Aayudha Ezhuthu (remade as Yuvaa in Hindi) and Kannathil Muthamittal. Chekka Chivantha Vaanam is also said to be a movie on similar lines. Reportedly, the movie discusses industrial pollution and the environmental hazards associated with it. The director gave hints of what’s in store with the first look poster which had industrial chimneys in the background.

Chekka Chivantha Vaanam includes Mani Ratnam’s usual set of technicians. Santhosh Sivan handles the cinematography and Sreekar Prasad is editing the movie. Maestro AR Rahman is composing the music. Lyca Productions is producing CCV on a first copy basis along with Mani Ratnam’s home banner Madras Talkies.
