Interesting facts

New is a 2004 Indian Tamil-language science fiction sex comedy film directed, written and produced by S. J. Suryah, who also stars alongside Simran. Kiran Rathod and Devayani play supporting roles. The music was composed by A. R. Rahman, in his first collaboration with S. J. Suryah. In the film, an 8-year-old child gets an experiment done on him that requires him to live as himself during the day and like a 28-year-old man at night. Chaos begins after he toggles between two roles simultaneously.
