We had previously reported that director Elan, known for Pyaar Prema Kaadhal and Star, is all set to make his acting debut with with his next directorial, Pyaar Prema Kalyanam. Ahead of the film's direct-to-Netflix release, the makers have set the stage for the story with a hilarious promo video. In it, Elan informs his parents, played by MS Bhaskar and Geetha Kailasam, that he wants to get married. Moments later, in a surprising twist, he storms out of the house and dramatically jumps into a well. Sharing the video, the makers wrote, "Getting married is the biggest jump into the unknown, worth the thrill and risk."
Pyaar Prema Kalyanam also stars Saanve Megghana of Kudumbasthan fame as the female lead. As per Netflix's description, Saanve stars as Pavi, "a popular influencer who refuses to leave her family home after marriage. Instead, it's her husband, Elan, who moves in with her, setting off a hilarious chain of culture clashes, family chaos, shifting expectations, and heartfelt self-discovery. As the newlyweds navigate their unconventional arrangement, they soon realise that perhaps the biggest tradition worth challenging is the idea that everyone else gets to define their happily ever after."
Apart from Elan and Saanve, the film will feature an ensemble supporting cast comprising Radikaa Sarathkumar, Yogi Babu, Elango Kumaravel, Senthil, and Maran. Yuvan Shankar Raja has composed music for the film, marking the composer's third collaboration with Elan. The film is gearing up for a Netflix premiere on August 21. Pyaar Prema Kalyanam is backed by Srinidhi Sagar, under the Rise East Entertainment banner.
For Elan, the film marks his third as director. He made his debut with Pyaar Prema Kaadhal, starring Harish Kalyan and Raiza Wilson. Meanwhile, Saanve has also starred in films like Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, Most Eligible Bachelor, and Pushpaka Vimanam before making her Tamil debut. Coming up next, she has Kaaviya Kaadhal with Bhaarath.
