Director J Suresh, who has done films like 'Ennavalae' and 'Velai' in Tamil and 'Junior Senior' in Malayalam, completed shooting for his next film titled . Apart from directing it, Suresh has also played the lead role in the film and composed music under Yuvan Shankar Raja’s guidance.

“I’m a violinist basically,” he says. Given that Yuvan has composed the music for all Suresh’s  previous films, it was only natural that he did the same for this latest project.  “When Yuvan and I discuss the music for our films, it’s on a whole other level,” the director shares enthusiastically. But this time around, he adds, “ Yuvan was occupied with other films, so he  suggested that I go ahead with composing music on my own. And I sought advice from him whenever I needed.” It turns out the two became friends 15 years ago when they worked together on a music album titled, Blast. Suresh has also made director Perarasu sing the song Vaada Vaada Ramasamy in the film. The  audio is expected soon.

'Paaraseega Mannan' is said to be about child trafficking and the director says it is a meaningful commercial film. About his cast, he says, “The script does not demand big heroes to play the lead roles. So, I have gone for freshers instead.”

The film is getting ready in Malayalam under the title, 'Arabian Rajakumaran'.
