Composer Anirudh Ravichander’s acting debut with a cameo in Aakko

The upcoming 2014 comedy flick Aakko has come up with its poster and it shows song composer Anirudh Ravichander sitting on a couch. A buzz has been hovering the town that the 23-year-old is making his debut with this flick but it is now made clear by a source that this would be his cameo role. The source from film unit confirms, "Actually, director Shyam approached Anirudh to cast him in the lead role. He also listened to the script and liked it, but as he has no plans to act in films for now, Anirudh politely said 'no' to the offer. But, as he was impressed with the story, he voluntarily came forward to score the music for the film."

Filmmaker M. Shyam Kumar also commented about the movie, "We are also planning a promotional song for the film, which will feature him.” He further conveys the meaning of film’s title, "Aakko is a local slang in certain parts of the city like Royapuram, and is used to refer extremely curious and over enthusiastic youngsters. As the film is about three enthusiastic youngsters, we felt this title will be very apt." Aakko produced by Deepan Boopathy and Ratesh Velu, is given music by Anirudh himself. The film starring Geethan Britto, Arjun and Swaminathan will release this year but the date is not decided yet.
