The two Simbu's in Tamil film industry are as different as chalk and cheese. One is a well known actor Silambarasan, the other is the non controversial soft spoken Simbudevan, the director.
Simbudevan the director after the runway success of his Mel Brooks style "historical comedy" with Vadivel's Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi is back with Arai En 305il Kadavul. It features two stand-up comedians, Santhanam and Ganja Karupu along with Prakash Raj who appears as God!
Arai En 305il Kadavul is about two strugglers staying in a lodge, and their next door neighbour in room number 305 is god himself! And god appears, helps and selects them as his messengers for the modern world, is what the story is all about. The story seems very similar to the 1977 John Denver movie Oh God!.
Simbudevan is depending on the script and the marketing of Shankar's 'S' pictures to make Arai En 305il Kadavul work. But Simbu has to be admired for his guts to make a full length commercial film with two small-time comedians.
The others in the cast are Jyothirmayi, Madhumita , Rajesh, M.S. Bhaskar. The film has music by Vidyasagar, and is being shot in Chennai, Thiruvannamalai and Nagercovil. We need more gutsy directors like Simbudevan and a producer like Shankar ,to deliver the goods for Tamil cinema.
