Rajesh’s Mr Local featuring Sivakarthikeyan and Nayanthara in lead roles is all set for worldwide release on May 17. The entire cast and crew was present for the pre-release event that was held recently.

And Rajesh was only excited to talk about this project. Director Rajesh said, “As soon as we started discussing about the project, KE Gnanavel Raja sir insisted to give a hit movie. Usually, my movies would have scenes involving boozing, ridiculing girls after love failure through song and so on. But the first thing that Sivakarthikeyan brother told me was to avoid these factors. This prompted me to focus more. And yes, Mr Local will not have such things. This will be an out-and-out family entertainer, which will be liked and appreciated by universal audiences. If everyone is in awe about the huge star-cast with great actors, Sivakarthikeyan is the ultimate reason behind it.”

On working with Hiphop Aadhi and Nayanthara, he added, “Aadhi and I have a lot of things in common and that made our work easier. Nayanthara mam liked the script so much and she immediately decided to be a part of this film. I am sure Mr Local will be a splendid entertainer for this summer season.”

Producer KE Gnanavel Raja added, “I met Sivakarthikeyan and got friendly with him during the days of Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga. He has not changed one bit until now. He has now upgraded himself to a greater business of giving hits as solo hero, which is remarkable. After T Rajendherr sir, it’s Hiphop Aadhi, who is getting so much credits for his work as multi-faceted personality. I can never forget the help that Sivakarthikeyan brother has done. He had accepted to do this film at a crucial point of time and I will never forget this forever.”
