First-time filmmaker Kumaresh Kumar is ready to showcase his talent with English Padam, which is set for release this Friday. The director says the title refers to the fact that his film has twists and turns along the lines of a Hollywood action movie.

Kumaresh claims the hectic pace of his film does not slacken even one bit. "English Padam is all about the feelings of four youths who get cheated by a seasoned criminal. It boils down to the mind game where the hunter becomes the hunted. The climax will reveal the meaning of the title," he says.

The film has no big names save for Ramki. "My script did not demand a big actor and the newcomers have done a good job with their roles," says Kumaresh, adding that the audience can expect the unexpected in his murder mystery thriller.
