When she found that offers did not stop coming even after her studies, she decided to take the plunge. As a college student, Sharmili had been rejecting all film offers that came her way to concentrate on her studies. To Sharmili, an MCA graduate, Anbe Anbe is a big break. It is expected that the role of a pampered youngster in the family will give a boost to Shaam's career. According to the debutant director, the film has all the ingredients of a family entertainer - love, action, comedy and family sentiments. Anbe Anbe is a love story set in a joint family with Shaam and Sharmili playing the role of lovers.

Early indications are that though it is an action film like Dhool, it is not expected to be as big a hit. So far, 2003 has produced just one big hit, Dhool, directed by Dharani and starring Vikram and Jyothika.Īmong the New Year releases, only the action film Dum, starring Silambarasan, is said to be doing reasonable business. The handful of releases on Tamil New Year (April 14) confirms that the Tamil film industry, like all other language film industries in India, is going through a bad patch.
