Elan's sophomore directorial Star, is one such story that captures the relentless pursuit of one man to make it into the film industry. While the protagonist, played by Kavin, dreams of becoming an actor, one wonders why the director chose to write the central character as an aspiring actor and not as a filmmaker, like himself. While many shy away from revealing their lofty dreams, Elan gives us an honest answer, "I myself dream of becoming an actor someday." Preity Mukhundan, who plays Meera Malarkodi in the film, is fresh off her foray into the spotlight. Marking her debut with Star, Preity reveals that the premise of the film is something she could relate to.
