Dhanush was the reference point for Sathya in AmaraKaviyam

Director Jeeva Shankar’s Amara Kaaviyam is all set to hit the screens on September 5. The film is an intense love story and based on a school romance set in 1980s.

“The story is about the incidents that happen between his Class 12 exams and his first year in college. The decision to set the story in the 80s was because romance was taboo back then. There were no mobile phones and internet hadn’t arrived yet. Only telephones were available; even then, you had to go through a girl’s protective family before you could talk to her,” opens up Sathya about the plot to a daily.

When Sathya hesitated to play a school student in the beginning, Jeeva Shankar instilled confidence by telling him how experienced actors like Dhanush and Aamir Khan played school and college students respectively in 3 and 3 idiots. “In fact, Jeeva Shankar suggested I consider Dhanush as a reference point,” added Sathya. He also opined that Amara Kaaviyam will be on the lines of Kaadhal Kondein, Kadhal and 7G Rainbow Colony. Wasn’t that a blatant spoiler to reveal? But, Sathya also says the film will end on a ‘hopeful’ note.
