With 'Ananthapurathu Veedu' - the next venture by Director Shankar's S Pictures - 'thriller specialist' Naga is making his debut as director on the big screen.

The story, screenplay, dialogues and direction are by Naga. Even though Naga claims that the film would be a family-oriented one, sources say that it would be another thriller along the lines of his TV serials, like Marma Desam, Vidaathu Karuppu and Chidambara Ragasiyam.

Actress Saaya Singh is playing the leading lady in the film. She says this film is very crucial to her and would be a deciding factor in her career.

Apart from the debutant director himself, there are a couple of other firsts in the film. Arun Mani Palani who has completed his MFA in the United States is handling camera for the first time through this film.

Scoring music, for the lyrics by Vairamuthu, is yet another new hand, Ramesh Krishna.

The public relations for the film are being managed by Shankar's media manager, Nikhil Murugan, and his company.
