Production[edit]
After the success of Shankar's 1998 romantic film Jeans, the co-producer Ashok Amritraj agreed to work with actor Prashanth again in his next film and thus signed on to finance a film to be directed by Agathiyan.[2][3] The film was initially titled Adhisayam (Wonder) and shooting began in Tamil Nadu in August 1998.[4] The film went through a change of title to Kaadhal Kavithai, reminiscent of Agathiyan's yesteryear film Kadhal Kottai and Amritraj sold the project to Sunanda Murali Manohar of Cee I TV Limited.[5]
Isha Koppikar made her debut as an actor with this film, despite signing on to appear in K. S. Ravi's En Swasa Kaatre before Kaadhal Kavithai.[6]Raju Sundaram choreographed a belly dance song shot in Rajasthan featuring actress Kasthuri.[2] Part of the film is shot in London, with locations including near the River Thames, the Houses of Parliament, Piccadilly Circus and Althorp, where the memorial to Princess Diana was located.[7][8]
Release[edit]
A critic from Indolink.com gave the film a positive review mentioning that Kaadhal Kavithai 'is handled neatly and that Agathian manages well with dialogues and a fresh mix of characters', describing it as 'the must see movie of the year'.[9] The Deccan Herald mentioned that the film is 'visually a delight, the songs and music are pleasant, especially when they harmonise with the locations, which they don’t always.' The reviewer adds that 'Prashanth is alright though he seems a little narcissistic, you always feel that he’s looking at a mirror someone’s holding up. The heorine is new, and not unpleasant. Srividya is wanted, though brightening.'[10]
