'Prayanam has nothing to do with The Terminal'

Is there going to be a lot of drama in the climax?

Rather, I would say there is a lot of humour in the film. The challenge from the beginning was to make the film believable without making it boring.

Has Prayanam anything to do with The Terminal since it is shot in an airport too?

Nothing except that both are shot in an airport. Terminal has my favourite actor (Tom Hanks) and was directed by my favourite director (Steven Spielberg). I can't match that standard. Prayanam has nothing to do with that film.

How did you zero in on Manoj Manchu?

Since it's a love story, I tried to find new faces. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a new male face who could fit into the role. At that time I met Manoj who said he was interested in working with me. I wondered whether he would fit into the role. But I found that he has the energy level to be my character and is an excellent prospect. The amount of talent I have seen in him is amazing. I am not saying this to praise him but he is somebody to watch out for.
