Laurels heaped on Sangeetha

'Sangeetha is a talented actress and she would win awards and accolades after the release of 'Dhanam', a movie on Devadasis', says director Siva.

'Dhanam' is a story of a Devadasi, a system which was prevalent in some parts of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka and other places in the country. Sangeetha plays the protagonist in the movie.

Says director Siva,' After Shoba, who caught the imagination of movie-goers in 1980s, I would rate Sangeetha the best actress. She is a talented actress and knows how to go about her work'.

On the movie, he says, 'Devadasis are generally portrayed in a bad light. I have taken a conscious decision to show the other facet of those condemned by society'.

Siva has penned the script besides directing the film and Ilayaraja has scored the music. Thotta Tharani is the art director and veteran filmmaker and editor B Lenin is in charge of editing.

Plans are on to release the film June. Audio would be released on 10 June.

Girish Karnad, one of the national award winners, Kotta Srinivasa Rao, Ashish Vidyarthi, Rajkapoor, Karunas and Ilavarasu are in the cast.
