*Let's shift gears to Chennayil Oru Mazhaikaalam. **Varanam Aayiram* is a very conservative film in terms of what Surya thinks about women; but this is a very in-your-face sort of film with four boys and three girls. We wanted to cast only newcomers. Then the co-producer said, 'We need somebody in this film other than Gautam and AR Rahman.' So we pitched the idea to Trisha. She was looking forward to working with us.
*There's been a lot of talk about the switch from your regular - Harris Jayaraj.* I am doing a film with Harris in December which stars Ajit. I always wanted to work with Rahman right from when *Minnale* happened. Harris knows that too. Even Rahman was saying 'You have a great record with Harris. They'll think I've done something to that!' http://www.newindpress.com/NewsItems.asp?ID=IEE20080623130414&Page=E&Title=Startrek&Topic=0 -- regards, Vithur HELP EVER; HURT NEVER; LOVE ALL; SERVE ALL
