Sandhippoma (transl. Shall we meet?) is a 1998 Indian Tamil-language romantic drama film directed by Indrakumar.[1] The film stars Suriya and Preetha Vijayakumar, while Radhika, Prakash Raj, Sarath Babu and Ambika also play significant roles. This film marks Suriya's first solo lead role in a film and Preetha's Tamil film debut. Deva composed the film's soundtrack while Rathnavelu handled the camera work. The film released on 9 July 1998.
Vishwa (Suriya) and Nilani (Preetha Vijayakumar) fall in love. Her mother does not approve, but she goes along with it. Complications arise when Vishwa exhibits "fashion" photos that he has taken of Nilani, which further upsets her mother. Then it comes to light that Surya's father Santhosh (Prakash Raj) had an affair, and things take a dramatic, tragic turn for the lovers. In the end, both families arrive at the airport to prevent Nilani from boarding the flight, but to their bad luck, they could not stop it. Nilani commits suicide by swallowing poison from her ring, and Vishwa hits a wall and loses his sanity.
The film was produced by Malaysia-based Tamil settlers Rajah and Vijayan. Rajah owned Rajah Video Centre in Sentul while his partner, Vijayan, was also a businessman from Sentul. The shoot of the film was carried out in places such as Delhi, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, Goa and Himachal Pradesh.[2][3]
The film was initially set to star Vishva, the brother of actresses Ambika and Radha, alongside Simran, but later went through a change of cast.[4]
Music was composed by Deva.[5]
