THE key to ensuring authenticity in a romantic film is to have a convincing equation between the lead characters, which could be challenging for actors in their maiden collaboration.

However, Anson Paul and Reba Monica John, who are teaming up for the romance drama, Mazaiyil Nanaigiren, say that they developed a good rapport and connection from the outset.

"We have been able to share a great friendship because we both have similar personalities.

I think that definitely helped bring the right kind of chemistry for the film," says Reba.

The trailer for Mazaiyil Nanaigiren gives a glimpse of its story, involving Anson's Jeeva declaring his love for Reba's Aishwarya multiple times, even as the latter does not seem to reciprocate the same. It makes you wonder whether the male hero has a toxic shade to him, as there is only a thin line between desire and relentless obsession. However, Reba and Anson set the record straight about the intentions of their characters.
