Jeeva Sankar’s Amara Kaaviyam inspired from real life

Climax of director Jeeva Sankar’s Amara Kaaviyam is taken from a real life incident. According to the director, “the incident took place during 1982-83 in Thanjavur and latter he decided to place the incident in Amara Kaaviyam.” The director further explains that 60 per cent of the movie is based on real life incidents and has moments from his own life too.

The film deals in societal views on relationship between a girl and a boy. Jeeva explains, "While today's parents have opened up a bit, we are still not broad-minded and the restrictions we force upon teenagers when they start developing interest in the opposite sex only makes them develop a defiant attitude."

A college love story set in the 1980s features Sathya and Mia George in the lead roles. Although it will be a period film but the story will work in contemporary setting too.                "Thanks to technology, today's youngsters have the luxury of face-to-face communication even when they are apart. So, I wanted to look back at a different era of romance, from the pre-internet and pre-mobile phone days," states Jeeva.
