‘Lock’ is a film jointly produced by Bamboo Trees Cinemas, Al Murad and Shakti Vale Pictures.
The film is written and directed by Ratan Linga. He has already directed a few short films and made his mark as a biographer of North Chennai by directing the film ‘Attu’.
The music launch of the film ‘Lock’ was held today at Prasad Lab Theatre.
In this ceremony, Communist Party of India Tamil Nadu State Secretary Mutharasan, Directors K. Bhagyaraj were the special guests.
Speaking at the function, Ratan Linga, who has directed the film, said,
“This film has been made after many struggles. We were shocked by the sudden death of our strong side producer Shaktivel Pictures and the cinematographer who worked on the film. But their dream was on this film. I hope this film will succeed with the blessings of both their souls. Their wishes This is how it will be. Along with us, Rajkumar Veluchami has been a great supporter.
Apart from that, seeing all our difficulties, he said that we should set up a platform for the newcomers like this so that they don’t have to face any difficulties. Accordingly, we have recently started a studio. That is the Bamboo Trees Studio. We have started it with the aim of uplifting budding artists and providing them with suitable technical equipment.
Rajkumar Veluchami, chairman of Almura company, which is involved in the production of the film, said,
“I am busy doing business in Iraq and Dubai. When I first saw the movie ‘Attu’ I liked it. When I was looking for the details of who directed this movie, Ratanlinga got introduced. But after that I came to know that he has not done a single movie. Then we talked and became friends. I learned from him that many people are struggling in cinema despite their talent and lack of recognition. We have started a studio so that the youth should not struggle with talent in the future. We have started this with the aim of becoming a platform for new talent. These facilities will help him to the extent that he will be directing five films a year. It is to help the Accordingly, we have started a new film. Pratap, who worked as an assistant director in the film Attu, is making his debut as the director of that film. In this film, Ilangovan’s son Arjun, who works in the police force, is making his debut as an actor. Our journey will continue,” he said.
When the film’s music director Vikram Selva spoke,
“For this film which was started before the Covid period, there was a bit of stagnation in Kovid. At that time, while working for this film, the director would work day and night. I asked him if he would come at five o’clock to add background music. He said 5 o’clock in the evening? I said five o’clock in the morning. But we shot the whole night. “He will come at 5 am without sleeping. His film making is original, that is his style. In this film, the scenes move without any dialogue for 10-15 minutes at the end. Director Ratan Linga said that he gives importance to the scenes.”
When the heroine Madhu Sri spoke,
“When I did a short film for him, I appeared as a little girl in a scarf. Within 10 years of acting in a liquor store, I gained weight and became chubby. I missed out on acting in Attu. I was in my seventh grade then. Even today I regret it.
That’s why I didn’t watch that movie. In order not to miss the second film, I am going to watch the film only after acting in it and watching this film. He asked me to lose weight after seeing me. Because it is a sports related film, but the director looked at me and encouraged me by giving me time and not looking for someone else. In 30 days I was hoping to be able to reduce.
[8:03 pm, 09/01/2023] Aryan: Accordingly, I lost weight and stood in front of them. They were shocked to see me. Their faith in this is greater than my efforts. I learned that faith can do anything.
The director has given brilliant acting opportunities not only to me but to everyone who has acted,” he said.
When Mutharasan, President of the Commonwealth Party of India, spoke,
“Policemen, Justices, Filmmakers, Technicians have participated in this festival. It’s a pleasure. Director Ratan Linga has not come normally. He has made short films and directed films.
He has produced a film. Now he has started a studio.
Through such gradual efforts he has grown and reached this place.
Film can not only create proper understanding among people but also create awareness. It has played a rol…
[8:04 pm, 09/01/2023] Aryan: Interval block is called Interval Lock. Interval blocks if normal. A lock is to tie a knot in it and then untie it. Bhagyaraj sir can be called the king of breaks rather than the king of screenplay. Because he used to tie a knot during breaks in his films.
If that knot is untied properly, the film is a hit. It will fail if it is jammed to untie.
I see director Ratan Linga, it was difficult to become a director 20 years ago. After working as an assistant director for a few years, then as an associate director for a few years, he came out and told a story and got a producer and then became a director. But nowadays everything is an emergency. Today there are those who want to release the film within two years. But Ratan Linga gradually developed into short film and feature film. He grew up like that and now he has made this film. He has been praised by director Sikaram Balachander, Pratap Bothan and Madan in his short film days. He has slowly progressed. Nothing succeeds in haste. In this film, he tells women that we are our own support. No heroes will come to save the girls. They have to save themselves.
Women can do many jobs equal to men. But that’s where a lot of women get into trouble, not thinking of living like men. There is a lot of room for mistakes.
Women should be careful while choosing boyfriends. He should boldly introduce his friends to father and mother. The family will notice what kind of friend is introduced to the family. Because they are experienced.
Lust is like a cough and a sneeze. So be very careful. That’s why he says in this film that women are the only protection for women. I wish this film a success.”
Director K. Bhagyaraj spoke thus,
“Here, producer Rajkumar Veluchami is running around in Iraq and Dubai. He says he is alone there too. I asked him what he is doing alone.
Speaking to the director of the film, Ratan Linga, he said that the film was made after facing various difficulties. When good things happen, these kinds of obstacles come. It should come beyond that. No matter how hard you try, obstacles will come and go. I remember a story now. Three thieves pray to Lord Ganesha every day and go to steal and if they don’t get anything they will come and fight. Nothing was found for several days. They warned us that if we don’t get anything today when we want it, we will get angry and went to steal. Even that day, we didn’t get anything, so one by one they threw stones inside the Ganesha temple. But only the third thief hesitated a little. What if Ganesha punishes? Fearing that, he lifted the stone and threw it on a tall tree outside the temple. At the same time, his eyes hurt. Ganesha stood in front of him with blood on his head. I didn’t do anything I just threw the stone across the temple? He said why did you give me such a punishment Vinayaka? Ganesha said that you will do this and I was sitting on the tree hiding.
After all this time, my drumstick story is being talked about everywhere. What’s the big secret? If asked that. No special reason. When my grandmother served us food
He gives me little pieces of drumsticks. He would give a lot to his uncle who was eating with him. I will ask for two more pieces. This is enough for you. Grandma says no more than two is enough. The mind always revolves around not wanting. In our town an old man was playing with small children. It was only when I asked him this doubt that I understood its meaning. Until then I put it in my film as a game. Didn’t think much of it then. But even after all this time, the story of drumsticks is being talked about and it makes me happy in a way.
Madhusree, who played the heroine in the film, talked about weight loss here. I gave daily allowance to Kalpana in Chinna Veedu. Because he wants to gain weight. It is only when we work hard that we know its worth. They say that the beauty of the sun can be seen in the shade.
I trained around the pole in ‘Thoral Ninnu Pochu’. Then the shooting was going on
I acted like that after training for 30 days in the Gobi. Then it would be like playing around with one hand. I asked Alagiriswamy master that I should train like holding around with both hands. He said it is not possible. I asked him to teach me the technique. He didn’t believe but I put what I learned in the film. I will be around in the film after learning very hard. After watching the film, MGR asked how many years did you train for this? He didn’t believe me when I told him about it. He said don’t lie. Then I told him that anything can be done if you put your mind to it.
Here the technicians spoke with satisfaction. Was happy.
Elangovan, who belongs to the police, has cast his son here. I was surprised. Because in our time, if I go to see a play, the house will be under the belt.
Satyaraj’s son Sibiraj and my son Shantanu were also dreaming of cinema, so they could not do well in studies. So they studied together in an evening college. They really wanted to fulfill their dreams. So if you put your mind to it, anything will happen.
My best wishes to the film crew,” he said.
Director Bhagyaraj’s birthday was celebrated by cutting a cake on behalf of the film crew of ‘Lock’.
