Cuckoo, a love story of visually-challenged real couple: Raja Murugan

The much-awaited flick Cuckoo by filmmaker Raja Murugan is not an imaginary love story like any other flick but it’s a real one. The stars Dinesh and Malavika, playing the characters of visually-challenged boy and girl, will touch the hearts of the audience as stated by the director of the project. Murugan commented, "Cuckoo is the love story of a visually-challenged couple. More than acting, Dinesh and Malavika have lived as Tamizh and Sudhandhirakodi, their characters in the film. Elango and Nandhini, two visually-challenged actors in real life, have done an exceptional job in the film.”

Raja further told, “Though the film has an emotional plot, it has a lot of entertaining aspects, too. The love story between the visually-challenged boy and the girl has been told in a lively manner than narrating it with a dark shade." The helmer says that the idea of this feature film sparked from an incident happened in his life, the time he was a journalist. Raja encountered a blind couple in love when he was reporting for his magazine. The flick produced by Fox Star Studios, has been given music by Santhosh Narayanan. The same is scheduled for March 21 release.
