Saguni is touted to be a racy political drama with twists and turns designed to keep the audience guessing till the end. It would also have actress Radhika Sarathkumar who will be seen on the big screen in a meaty role after a very long time.

Arulnidhi faces opposition. Why?

Arulnidhi’s Udayan is a simple love story with all the commercial elements, says its debut director Chaplin. According to the director, the hero, Arulnidhi, proposes marriage to the heroine, played by Pranitha during their very first meet.
