Style (2002 film)

Style is a 2002 Tamil drama film, written and directed by Sibi Chakravarthy. It stars Raghava Lawrence and Gayathri Raguram in the lead roles, while Ramana and Vadivelu portray supporting roles. The music for the film was composed by Bharani and the film opened to mixed reviews in December 2002.
Production.
Raghava Lawrence worked on "Style" after completing work on "Arputham" (2002), and appeared in two Tamil films in quick succession. Arul, who had earlier written the script for "Aranmanai Kaavalan" (1994), was announced as the film's director, while Padmamagan wrote the dialogues for the film.
Release.
The film had a low-key release during December 2002, and was later dubbed and released in Telugu on two occasions, firstly as "Super Style" and then as "Style 2", to capitalise on Raghava Lawrence's expanding marketability and the success of his subsequent Telugu film, "Style", which was unrelated to Tamil film. The director of the film, Sibi Chakravarthy, later attempted to make a film with Dhanush and debutant Mamta Zaveri titled "Raghava", but financial troubles stopped the production.
