In the movie Devil, “Maaya Chesave” song beautifully portrays the journey of love between the hero (Kalyanram) and the heroine (Samyuktha Menon). The film is set in the 1940s during the Madras Presidency era.
To capture the period-romance feel, director-producer Abhishek Nama chose traditional South Indian houses and palatial mansions like Kanadukathan Palace (at Karaikudi), to create an authentic backdrop for the romance to unfold.
Music too played an important role in elevating the cinematic experience. Abhishek Nama and composer Harshavardhan Rameshwar have imported unique vintage musical instruments to capture the essence of orchestration in the period romance.
