Samudrakani clears the air

Directors Samudrakani and Sasikumar have known to be good friends.
So, it came as a surprise when suddenly rumours started doing the rounds that the two were no longer on talking terms with each other and that one had even skipped the birthday part y of the other. When CT got in touch with director Samudrakani, he simply trashed the rumours.
Said the successful director, who is also now all set to play the lead in a film titled Saatai, which is to be produced by Prabhu solomon, the director of the hit Mynaa, “Right from the time our films became successful, some people have been jealous about our friendship.They have been trying to create a rift between us. But let me tell you we continue to be good friends - just like how we were before we became popular. We are still brothers. In fact, when Sasi got to know about this latest rumour, he actually asked me to give him the picture in which he is seen feeding me a piece of cake. It was taken during the birthday party. He wanted to publish it but I stopped him from doing so.”
Samudrakani, who is directing Porali, in which Sasi plays the lead, says, “It is a film about all those who struggle. And no, it is not about the Lankan civil war.” Apart from Porali, Samudrakani will also play the lead role in Saatai. Ask him about his role in the film and he says, “I play a teacher in a government school in the film. The film’s story was so appealing that I immediately agreed to do it.”
