The countdown has begun for 'Neethaanae En Ponvasantham' and as the release date comes closer, everyone seems to have their fingers crossed.

Following the grand audio launch last week, much is expected of this film. A romantic entertainer, it brings together Jiiva, Samantha and Ilaiyaraaja with director Gautham Menon, for the first time as a cast and crew set-up.

Samantha said, "I have been living in the character of 'Nithya Vasudevan' which I am playing in 'Neethaane En Ponvasantham' for the last six months. I really thank Gautham for giving me this wonderful role".

Samantha who enjoyed a lot of limelight at the audio launch and also continues to win applause where ever she goes, was the highlight on the big, digital screen erected at the venue of the audio launch.
