Cheran plans a movie adaptation of ‘Neon Nagaram’

Director/actor Cheran is planning a movie on music plagiarism, a subject matter that seriously affects the film industry. The thrill is he is also adapting the musical novel ‘Neon Nagaram’ made by the talented Paadhai team, a Chennai-based band, right into a full-length feature film.‘Neon Nagaram’ is the Paadhai team’s second musical novel and it was launched at Sathyam Cinemas on July 10,2011 by Cheran and actor Prasanna. The team’s first edition titled ‘Ranam Sugam’ became an enormous hit on You Tube. ‘Neon Nagaran’ with 17 music tracks covering diverse genres of music have been authored by some of the members of Paadhai, Shammer and composed by Shiva. The team was also planning an English version of the novel.

Shammer and Shiva conceived ‘Neon Nagaram’ after hearing the tale of a valid engineer who became a victim of plagiarism.

It is Cheran’s dream of creating a movie in response to ‘Neon Nagaram’ and he made his desire known on the launch of the musical novel last year. When Shammer and his team had met Cheran to ask him for the event, they'd told him that certainly one of his film’s songs was a ‘lift’and Cheran had shrugged his shoulders and blamed it on market compulsions. Cheran told Shammer that the problem need to be addressed in all seriousness and ‘Neon Nagaram’ needed to be made right into a film.

Shammer is overjoyed that Cheran will involve him and his team within the script writing process. The film will hopefully hit the floors in two to 3 months, in keeping with Shammer. He at the side of Shiva will score the music. The forged might be finalized after the script is about.
