Rajini- Nayan romance on banks of Punnamada

A song with Rajinikanth and Nayanthara was picturised for Kuselan, Tamil remake of Sreenivasan's Kathaparayumbol, on the banks of Punnamada in Alappuzha. The actor was bowled over by the beauty of the lake, while enjoying the taste varieties of Alappuzha like Karimeen pollichathu.

One of the co-producer of the film G P Vijayakumar of Seven Arts has employed nearly 100 people as security, for the actors and to avoid media glare.

The song was shot by director P Vasu on luxury house boat in the backwaters of the famous Punnamada Kayal (lake), where the famous Nehru boat race takes place. It looked like nearly 20,000 people mainly tourists turned up to watch the shoot, from both sides of the lake. Mamta Mohandas who is also in the cast is on location along with a lot of junior artists.

There was utter chaos as media men in small vallams tried to reach the shooting spot. In the melee, cameraman Aravind Krishna fell and sprained his ankle. Aravind has been admitted to the Alapuzha Medical College and will not be able to take part in the shoot for a few weeks.

For some time the shooting was suspended, and resumed after his associate Karunamoorthy took over, though Vasu seemed not too happy about it.

The song tuned by G V Prakash is said to be a melodious fast number and is being choreographed by Rajini's favourite dance master Raghava Lawrence. The stars of the film are staying in the luxury Hotel, Lake Palace, on the banks of the kayal.
