Chennai,  Director Kalayana Krishnan's upcoming film featuring actor Jayam Ravi in the lead has been titled 'Agilan'.

On Saturday, the makers of the film, which is being produced by Screen Scene Media Entertainment Private Limited, not only released its title but also its first look.

Screen Scene Media, which is known for having produced movies like 'Iruttu' , 'Dharala Prabhu' and 'MGR Magan', had signed a three-film deal with Jayam Ravi. The first of these three films is 'Agilan', which was until now being referred to as 'JR28'.
