Achchamundu! Achchamundu! (English: There is fear! There is fear!) is a Tamil social thriller directed by Arun Vaidyanathan, starring Prasanna, Sneha and Emmy Award–winning American film actor John Shea. It is the first film in Indian cinema to be shot with the Red One camera system. A Telugu dubbed version is to be released as Bhayam. This film was reportedly one of the rare mainstream Tamil films to deal with the subject of pedophiles. The film was released on 17 July 2009 worldwide; despite receiving highly positive reviews it was a commercial failure. After its release, it went through a lot of hype stating that Prasanna and Sneha fell in love during the shooting because they were caught together during functions after its release. Although it was a rumor, they got married on 11 May 2012 in Chennai.
Senthil Kumar (Prasanna) and Malini (Sneha) are a happily married couple in New Jersey, living life like any other born-in-India, arrived-in-the-US couple do. He submerges himself in the office and eats sambhar rice at home and she never misses a bhajan at the temple and shops at Indian stores. They have a daughter Rithika (Akshaya Dinesh), 10 years old, the apple of their eyes (their car's license plate carries the name of their daughter).
They have just settled down in a new, spacious home about which Malini, understandably, has fears. The couple squabble amicably about everything from her perpetual laundry and cooking; while Senthil argues with friends about the significance of viboothi (holy ash, usually applied on forehead) and takes his family on weekend trips and birthday parties. It is a normal, happy life in the US until Robertson (John Shea) arrives, to paint the basement. Now, things are never the same at home again.
