Arya raves about Amara Kaaviyam

Directed by Jeeva Shankar and produced by Arya, Amara Kaaviyam is an intense love story set in the 1980s backdrop of Ooty. The Raja Rani actor who watched the rough cut of the film has raved about it, “I watched the rough cut without even a proper rerecording. The movie has an emotional and touching climax. There are no dialogues for the entire 15 minutes and both Sathya and Mia have to emote through expressions. It is not mushy melodrama, but you feel the pain. I came out totally choked,” says Arya. 

Jeeva has lauded the work of Arya’s brother Sathya who plays the lead role in the film. “When I cast Sathya in the film, many dissuaded me, saying that he would throw tantrums and would not be able to emote. Some said he was not as good looking as Arya. But for me, my character is the hero and I needed an actor who would suit what I had conceived. Beyond that, anything can be adjusted technically. Sathya fitted the role and has done a wonderful job,” says Jeeva in an interview to a daily.
