Ambikapathy, the Tamil version Raanjhanaa was to compete with Dhanush's brand new original Tamil film Maryan, a thriller directed by Bharat Bala which stars Dhanush as a man on a journey of self-discovery.

Tamil cinema is often loud and crass, having not quite got over the exaggerated theatrical style of Sivaji Ganesan or the childish antics of Rajnikanth. This is where short film director, Arun Vaidyanathan's first feature, "Achamundu Achamundu" (There is Fear, There is Fear), scores: the pleasantly toned down mannerisms and subdued style come as a refreshing change for Tamil audiences arguably tired of high-pitched dialogues and cacophonous songs. Shot in New Jersey and New York with Red One camera - a new technology vouched for by helmers such as Peter Jackson and Steven Soderbergh - the Tamil-English movie is woven around a rarely tackled subject.
