Chennai, Nov 30 (IANS) Sonia Agarwal was on top when she quit acting to settle down with director Selvaraghavan, but she has decided to return to the big screen with an aptly titled ‘Oru Nadigaiyin Vaakamoolam’ after her divorce and she is very happy about it.
‘I couldn’t have asked for a better comeback film as I play a star in this movie,’ said Sonia.
Directed by debutant Raj Krishna, ‘Oru Nadigaiyin Vaakamoolam’ (Confessions of an Actress) is said to be based on the lives of many actresses and not any one character in particular. The climax is said to be a moving one.
‘Yogi’ fame Devaraj plays Sonia’s father in the film.
The film’s music, composed by Aadhish, has been launched recently.

Anushka Shetty to team up with Rajini?
Southern actress Anushka Shetty is as busy in Tamil films as she is in Telugu. The buzz is that she may team up with superstar Rajinikanth in his upcoming 3D film ‘Kochadaiyyan’.
‘Kochadaiyyan’ will be a hi-tech 3D film and will be the first with performance- capturing technology to be produced in India. James Cameron’s mega hit ‘Avatar’ and Steven Spielberg’s ‘The Adventures of Tin Tin’ were made with the same technology.
If Anushka signs on the dotted line, she will be doing her part in a sophisticated studio equipped with cameras that will capture her body language and later transfer them to animation.
Though there are no confirmed reports from those involved in the project, the team might soon come out with an official confirmation, says sources.
The project is the directorial debut of Rajinikanth’s daughter, Soundarya, while K.S. Ravikumar, who has written the story, screenplay and dialogue, will be the directorial supervisor for ‘Kochadaiyyan’.
For the time being, Anushka is busy with director Vijay’s Tamil action movie ‘Thaandavam’, which will see her sharing screen space with Vikram. She is also doing a film with director Suraj and in this Karthi is her co-star. They are shooting for the film in Kerala right now.
