After remaking veteran director K Balachander's 'Nan Avan Illai', Selvah is ready with the remake of the recent Bollywood hit 'Yes Boss'.'Yes Boss', the original had Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla in the lead with Aditya Pancholi doing a supporting role.'Guru En Aalu' will mark KRG's 49th production - the producer returns to filmmaking after a five-year hiatus.
Says Selvah: 'It's a light-hearted comedy. Guru (Madhavan) is a young ambitious man who will do anything to keep his boss Krishna (Abbas) happy. Guru aspires to start his own advertising agency as promised by his boss and everything goes awry till he meets and falls in love with a beautiful girl.
His boss also lays his eyes on the same girl, a model named Seema (Mamtha) and desires to add her to his list of mistresses.Seema, a middle-class hostelite, has dreams of making it to the top of the glamorous world of fashion. While Guru begins to love Seema, she naively gets taken in by Krishna's smooth talk and is drawn towards him.
'Guru's dilemma is that he has to keep his boss happy to fulfill his ambition and yet he is aware that his beloved is being conned into a false relationship', Selvah says.
Vivek, M S Baskar, Manobala, Mayilsamy are also in the cast. Music is by Srikanth Deva while cinematography is by U K Senthil Kumar. The other credits are Siva Yadav (art), Thalapathy Dinesh (stunts) and V T Vijayan (editing).Says Selvah, ' When I informed Shahrukh that I would be doing his 'Yes Boss' in Tamil, he immediately suggested Madhavan's name for the lead role. Madhavan too was eager to work in the project. Mamta plays the role enacted by Madhuri Dixit'.
Madhavan is upbeat about the movie. He says, 'I had seen 'Yes Boss' several times. It has emotions, romance and humor in it. Selvah is a crafty director, who can do justice to the script'Says Vivek, ' In Guru En Aalu, I play a woman for the first time. Everyone on the sets including
Madhavan was stunned by my looks'.
