Chennai, Aug 12 (IANS/WISHAVWARTA) Ace director and actor Lokesh Kanakaraj on Wednesday released the hilarious trailer of director Ramachandrran Kannan’s upcoming romantic comedy ‘Ram in Leela’, featuring actors Rio Raj and Varthika in the lead, much to the delight of fans and film buffs.

The trailer begins with Rio addressing the audiences. Talking about the demands placed by the families of brides on prospective bridegrooms these days, he says, “You thought that getting married was easy? You have to earn a lakh, come from a good family, have property, own your home, own a car, have hair on your head, not have a paunch and a great bank balance. And if you thought that these were enough for you to get married, you are wrong.”
The humourous trailer then goes on to show one member of the bride’s family asking the bridegroom to shoot a video of himself in his office. Another woman asks if the bridegroom can speak in English.
Ram (Rio)’s parents are worried that they haven’t been able to find a bride for their son. It is at this time that he meets Leela (Varthika)during a train journey and falls in love with her.
Luckily for him, she reciprocates his love and Ram is delighted. However, Leela has a condition. Although it is not clear what the condition is, Ram says that nobody has seen Leela post six in the evening everyday. Ram gets to eventually know something shocking about Leela and he changes his mind about marrying her. What follows is a hilarious set of developments.
For the unaware, actress Varthika will be making her debut in Tamil cinema through this film.
