Director Sarjun, who grabbed everyone’s attention with his short and bold film Lakshmi, has gained heaps of praises all over with his latest short film Maa, and has been amply rewarded with a film by none other than the lady superstar Nayanthara.

She is all set to team up with him for her next film to be produced by KJR studios.

Sarjun, while expressing his elation, stated in a press statement, “Short films are indeed the showreels of any aspiring director. Maa was getting positive reviews and that was when Rajesh sir from KJR studios called me and asked if I had any interesting stories for a feature. I told him one; I never knew it was going to reach Nayanthara ma’am. After that, when he asked me if I could narrate it and I did, I was even happier when she liked the script very much. This is an emotional horror film. Even while I was in the process of writing this script, I wished to get a huge star/actor for this one and I  couldn’t have asked for more than Nayanthara ma'am. She was sweet enough to compliment my earlier works. She said that she liked ‘Maa’. The trust that both Nayanthara ma'am and Rajesh Sir have on me and my script makes my responsibility bigger, and I am confident in delivering the right content."
