Selvaraghavan's fascination for romance has been evident since his maiden film and he has always approached it in his own style, contrary to how love stories have been captured on celluloid over the years.

All his love stories so far have been received well by audiences and have been lauded for maintaining realism in their portrayal. However, In "Irandam Ulagam", Selva complicates a simple love story in his attempt to merge romance and fantasy genres, only to give the audience an unbearable experience.

Chennai, Nov 18: Lauding filmmaker Selvaraghavan, who is awaiting the release of Tamil fantasy romantic-drama "Irandam Ulagam", the film's leading lady Anushka Shetty said he has the knack of extracting the best out of his actors.

"Selva is usually regarded as a tough director, but he knows how to extract the best out of his actors. Therefore, if an actor in his film is lauded by critics and audiences, the due credit goes to him. He may be tough, but we didn't feel the pressure," Anushka told Ians.

"I was little worried that I may not live up to his expectations, but everything went on smoothly and it was indeed a pleasure.

Chennai, Nov 17: Cinematographer Ramji says he has so many colours in the Tamil romantic fantasy drama "Irandam Ulagam", slated to release Nov 22, that it will be like a visual colour palette.

"I thoroughly enjoy my work because each film is different from the other. This one in particular is special because I had the opportunity to learn more about technology. Knowledge never.
