Ashok Selvan, Aishwarya to play lead in House Owner

Actress and director Lakshmi Ramakrishnan will be directing the film which will be about the challenges of a young couple

Actress and Director Lakshmi Ramakrishnan has chosen to call her next film House Owner.

Actress and director Lakshmi Ramakrishnan, who has directed three Aarohanam, Nerungi Vaa Muthamidathey and Ammani, has titled her next film as House Owner and has roped in Aishwarya Rajesh and Ashok Selvan to play the lead.

Says the director, “House Owner will be a feel-good family drama. Initially, I wanted to direct a movie on the Chennai floods. But then, my daughter got engaged and I decided to do the movie after the wedding. While in Mumbai recently, I happened to watch a Hindi movie which impressed me very much. I approached the makers to buy the remake rights. However, that didn’t happen. Nevertheless, the inspiration from the film left me writing another fresh script.”

The director also says that the film will be about the challenges faced by a young and beautiful couple when they decide to buy their dream home. “It will be told in a lighter vein,”says Lakshmi Ramakrishnan, who also says that cinematographer Jomon T John has shown interest in her project and is likely to handle the camera. “The unit will start shooting, once everything else is finalized, ” she says.
