web site: Atta Kathi Photos

At a time when Madurai-based movies are ruling the roost, Ranjith, a debutant filmmaker has come out with Atta Kathi, a film on the life of a youth in North Chennai, who thinks that he is a messiah of the masses, when he is actually not.

Ranjith, who worked with director Venkat Prabhu, has chosen to set the film in the backdrop of fisherfolk in North Chennai. Speaking about the film, Ranjith says, 'the people in North Chennai live life in a different way. They have their own culture and they have their notion about things'.

'Atta kathi is about one youth who thinks he has a mission to accomplish. Dinesh, who acted in Aadukalam, Mounaguru among other films plays the lead role. Swetha plays the female lead.'

Santosh Narayanan, who won the National Award for Advaitham, is scoring the music.
