Sonnal Thaan Kathala is a 2001 Indian Tamil-language romance film written, directed, produced by and starring T. Rajendar. Murali, Roja, Karan, Livingston, Swathi and Vadivelu play other important roles.

Plot[]

T. R. (T. Rajendar) investigates a case in which Roja (Roja) is the lead female singer. Roja works in a finance firm and has a big family of three sisters, a brother (Kuralarasan Rajendar), an alcoholic father (Manivannan), and a mother (Vadivukkarasi) to support. Murali (Murali), her office colleague, loves her and makes his intention clear in every opportunity that he gets. However, Roja has no time for him. T. R. has a sister named Saro (Swathi), who is married to a corrupt cop named Inbaraj (Karan). Inbaraj, furious about T. R. exposing him in his newspaper, harasses Saro, egged on by his avaricious mother (Y. Vijaya) and sister (Bhuvaneswari). The burden of taking care of the family becomes a little too much for Roja. Finally T. R., against all odds, advises Roja to accept Murali's love.[1]

Production[]

T. Rajender announced that his son Silambarasan would play the lead role in Kadhal Azhivathillai in 2000. After failing to find a suitable lead actress to appear opposite Silambarasan, Rajender postponed the project and started to make Sonnal Thaan Kaadhala.[2] Bobby, actress Rajashri's sister, was cast in a leading role, but the actress opted to work on other Telugu films instead. Subsequently, her role in Sonnal Thaan Kaadhala was shortened, as Rajender continued to shoot without her.[3]
