Arun Visualz Presents
சாருகேசி · A Musical Drama
CHARUKESI is an emotional musical drama about legacy, identity, and the healing power of love—where even as memory fades, the soul remembers through music
When Deva and Suresh Krissna—the iconic duo behind Annamalai, Baasha , and Aahaa..—reunite, they step into a whole new space, presenting a deeply emotional Carnatic musical experience.
Suresh Krissna is a distinguished filmmaker known for blending powerful storytelling with strong emotional depth, creating films that resonate with both mass audiences and critics alike. With iconic works like Baashha, Annamalai, Aahaa and Sangamam, he has left a lasting legacy in Indian cinema through his compelling narratives and memorable characters.
Deva is a prolific music director known for his catchy mass numbers and emotionally rich compositions, and for popularizing the vibrant “gaana” style in Tamil cinema.
