Fortunate to be launched by director Ram: Vasanth Ravi

Actor Vasanth Ravi says he feels fortunate to be launched by director Ram in upcoming Tamil drama "Taramani", which also stars Andrea Jeremiah and Anjali.

"'Taramani' has been an incredible experience for me. I have known Ram sir for a long time. He has been a guiding force throughout the shoot of the film. I feel fortunate to be launched by him," Vasanth said in a statement.

"Taramani", slated for release later this month, is about how globalisation has affected the male-female relationship in society.

Talking about his role, Vasanth said: "I play a call centre employee in the film. When I asked Ram what kind of preparation I should do for the role, he suggested that I come and shoot with an open mind."

Produced by JSK Satish, the film has music by Yuvan Shankar Raja.

Heaping praise on his co-star Andrea, he said: "She has performed terrifically. I'm sure audiences will be able to relate to our characters."
