Alaiyadikkuthu
The waves are hitting) is a 2005 Indian Tamil-language thriller film written and directed by Kalimuthu Arjunaraja and starring Sindhu Tolani, Naveen Dhanush and Akhil Kumar.Sindhu Tolani turned down offers to star in Telugu films to work on Alaiyadikkuthu after being impressed by the story.[2] In June 2005, director K. Rajan chose to shelve his biopic of Sivakasi Jayalakshmi titled Niram Maraiya Rojakal starring Vindhya, after he felt it was quite similar to Alaiyadikkuthu.[5] A critic from NowRunning.com wrote "though the movie is realistic, relevant and to some extent revitalizing, it misses on a point that you do not feel or sympathize for the pains suffered by victims of lascivious men".[7] In September 2006, Kalimuthu Arjunaraja announced a follow-up venture titled Minnaladikkuthu (English: The lightning is hitting) starring Namitha in the lead role, with the same producers.
