Actress Ramya Ranganathan of Nilavuku Enmel Ennadi Kobam fame has been cast against actor Pari Elavazhagan in her sophomore movie. Veteran actress Roja Selvamani has depicted a pivotal role in the entertainer. The production house has announced that the venture will hit theaters in summer this year. They have now shared the title teaser of the movie on social media.
Taking to his official X profile, actor Vijay Sethupathi dropped a special poster along with a link to the title teaser of Anbe Diana and captioned it, “Here is the title teaser of Anbe Diana. Starring Pari Elavazhaghan, Ramya Ranganathan, Chetan, Roja Selvamani, Gopi Aravindhraja. Written & Directed by Pari Elavazaghan, A Bharath Sankar Musical. Shelley Calist, Partha M A, Mohan, Sudharshan Gandhy, Nikhila Sankar, Ismath Banu, T Uday Kumar, Million Dollars Studios, Neo Castle Creations, Yuvaraj, Naren, Vivek Swaminathan, Shajan Kavitha, Yuvraaj.” Here is the post made by the actor.
The two minute title teaser of Anbe Diana opens to the voiceover of actor Gopi Aravind, “Greetings to all! Let me tell you a story. There may be many cool places in Madras. But one has stood out among all since the old days . . .” The shot cuts to an auto driver saying, “And that is Vyasarpadi. When it comes to North Madras it is us.” Another person intervenes and asks him, “What about the rest of us? Get lost. You carry on brother.”
The voiceover continues, “Appreciate it, brother. Anyway, like he said, the place I was speaking of was ‘Perambur’. The only spot in Chennai without traffic signals. Among the first cities to have a labor union. With three different railway stations and a variety of foods. Paired with various desserts. Totally divine. Home for a diversity of people. At the crux of this place lives my dear friend. This is his story. And his name is . . . Chirumamilla Sita Krishna, CSK.”
We are then introduced to his family with actor Gopi Aravind’s voiceover explaining, “What might look like a very loving family. But deep down it is a very chaotic family. A mom who rules like Hitler all day. A dad whose idea of fun becomes overwhelming. A brother who is equally irritating as mom. A sister who is always sad. And her always playful daughter. With friends who never miss a chance to roast him.”
The voiceover proceeds to give us details of his love story, “To escape from all of this, when he fell in love . . . Love itself has turned into another source of stress. Totally opposite flavors. An odd but interesting combination. This story shows how he handles all of this. And ends up marrying Magik Diana D’Souza, the love of his life.”
Apart from Pari Elavazhagan, Ramya Ranganathan, and Roja Selvamani, the casting crew of Anbe Diana also has actors Chetan, Gopi Aravind, Nikhila Sankar, Ismath Banu, Sudharshan Gandhi, and Cell Murugan in various supporting characters. Music composer Bharath Sankar has been hired to work in the music department of the flick. Cinematographer Shelley Calist has taken care of the cinematography division of the film.
Editor Partha M A has been brought on board to chop and patch the entertainer. Art director Mahendran has designed the background for the venture. Stunt master Don Ashok has choreographed action blocks for the project. Anbe Diana is produced by Sathya Karikalan under the production company Million Dollars Studios in affiliation with Yuvaraj Ganesan for the production label Neo Castle Creations.
