Surya Plays Conjoined/Siamese Twins in Maatran directed by K.V.Anand

Surya has joined together with K.V.Anand after Ayan now for the most expected Maatraan (Duplicate in Telugu). It is revealed after unveiling the first look teaser of Maatran at Prasad Lab Preview Theater, that Surya is playing double roles as conjoined or siamese twins which means that their body is attached to each other even after birth for the rest of their life. Maatran produced by AGS Entertainment and directed by K.V.Anand is a real challenge for Surya as he has put effort four times that he would for any other film because of the demand by his roles in the movie.

Surya plays Akilan and Vimalan where one sports clean shaved look and the other with a slight beard.Kajal is playing the lead lady of the movie and the other important roles are played by Thara, Vivek, Ravi Prakash and Sachin Khedekar. The music of the movie is composed by Harish Jayaraj who has given many musical hits with surya in the past. K.V.Anand's previous hits Ayan (Veedokkade in telugu) and Ko creates even bigger expectations for Maatran.

K.V.Anand says he was inspired by an article on siamese twins he read in National Geographic Magazine on his flight back after shooting for a song for Sivaji, The Boss with Shankar. But he clarifies that this movie has nothing in common with that of the article or the Thai film which is adapted by the makers of Charulatha movie where Priyamani plays the siamese twins which is expected to be released in parallel with Maatran. Surya was all praise for K.V.Anand who has taken meticulous effort in researching and executing every scenes of the movie.

The shooting of the whole movie is almost over except for a song and the post production works which involves lots of computer graphics which is very essential for this movie.  Although the movie release date is not officially announced yet, it is expected to be released in the end of September. The audio of Maatran will be released on July 23 which is also Surya's birthday. Bellamkonda Suresh has bagged distribution rights in Andhra.
