Six Actresses Turned Down Female Lead’s Role In Savarakatthi

Director Mysshkin is coming up with his upcoming production venture titled Savarakatthi (Barber's knife). Apart from producing, Mysshkin is also acting in the film. Actress Poorna plays the movie’s female lead. She will be essaying the role of a hearing impaired woman with two children while carrying one more.

However, Poorna was not the first actress who was approached for the female lead. Before Poorna, Mysshkin approached six actresses including Priya Mani who refused to work in the movie. “I was disturbed deeply by two barbers which inspired me to come out with this story. The story happens in a day and directed by my brother Adhithya who worked as my assistant for six films. Though the title Savarakatthi sounds bit serious, the film is not! It is used as a metaphor and not about barbers. It's full of life with humour and I have attempted comedy,” said Mysshkin.

Director Raam plays the role of a barber Pichhai who is also a perpetual liar, while Mysshkin will be seen as a local rowdy called Manga. Talking about why he decided to rope in Raam for the movie, Mysshkin said, “After finishing the script, I felt Raam would be apt for the lead. I didn't want to approach other heroes, as there may be lot of creative interference. Raam has given three meaningful films and I have done 10 flicks. So, I thought we could do justice to the film (smiles). There's an adage, 'What you hold tight you will lose one day' A similar message is imparted in the film.” Poorna will play Raam’s wife Subathra in the flick.
