Producer K. Kumar said, “Thank you to the media for making Garudan a success. There was a lot of confidence when we started working on this film. It was Sasikumar who gave that hope. It was only after he joined the film that the idea of making this film on a grand scale was born.
Five star Senthil, distributor Chidambaram and many others helped during the release of this film. I also thank them at this moment.
I would like to thank director Durai Senthilkumar for making our company’s third film ‘Karudun’ a huge success.
I would like to take this moment to thank everyone who worked hard for the success of this film like Music Director Yuvan Shankar Raja, Cinematographer Arthur Wilson, Art Director Durairaj, Cinematographer and his assistants, Ad Designer Dinesh Ashok, Think Music Santhosh & Saravanan..
Suri is the main reason why this movie became such a big hit. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Suri for resolving the issues during the release of the film and helping with the release.
I have been traveling with Suri for fourteen years. In a recent interview he referred to me as ‘brother’. It made me very resilient,” he said.
Director Durai Senthilkumar said, “What makes a director happy is to make a film like this that is accepted by the majority of people in Tamil Nadu, supported by the media, and critically acclaimed.” This is a very difficult subject in this day and age. I am very happy that ‘Karudan’ has become such a successful film.
Ever since the work of this film started and then director Vetrimaran…then Sasikumar…joined me…I felt a steady vibe. My Guru Nathar Balu Mahendra used to say that ‘A film finds what it needs’. I felt that in this movie. From the beginning of the film to the moment of the film’s release and successful run, everyone who worked on the film had a positive attitude. All the workers who worked on the set … kept saying that this film will be a success. I am grateful to nature and God for setting up this victory.
At this moment I would like to thank all the actors, actresses and technicians who have worked with me in this film.
Every film has a desire to be like this. I pray for everyone to be like this.
The fans who have seen this movie… it has been a huge success because of their word of mouth support. ” said .
Director-Actor RV Udayakumar said, “Director Durai turned me from a director into a good actor. I am thankful to Senthilkumar. When the star actors who were acting together on the set were talking about the case of Madurai area.. I asked permission from the director that ‘the character of the minister is the same.. I am speaking in Kongu Tamil that I know’. He also said ok.
I don’t know when I will act in the film. But when it comes to the background for the character, I was overwhelmed to realize that there is a great screenplay. I was really happy when I heard that the work of this film was done with the blessings of director Vetermaran.
When I see Durai Senthilkumar and Vethimaran, I feel a bit jealous. Both of them are disciples who always admire the Guru. They never fail. What is the highest quality in the world? If.. loving Gurunath. Director Durai. Vetrimaran had mentioned in an interview how Senthilkumar embraced his guru Balu Mahendra. Balu Mahendra’s blessing is the reason for the success of this film.
How many days we lived .. how much success.
It doesn’t matter if we got weed. What matters is how many people we set an example for.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the director Vethimaran who made Suri the hero of the Tamil world with the film ‘Vidukai’.
The success of the movie ‘Karudu’ is similar to that success.
There are many fake friends in cinema. Saying that I will do anything for my friend Suri in this environment.. Thanks to Sasikumar’s generosity and big heart who acted in this film. ” said.
Actor Sasikumar said, “Producer Kumar first said success meet. Don’t immediately ask him to meet success. Say Thanksgiving Meat. So now they have changed it to thank you. It makes me happy. Because now a days there is a talk that only successful films are given to films that don’t run.
Why is that? Everyone is afraid of failure. No one accepts failure. But for me I have to admit defeat. Only then can you succeed in your next film. So if a movie fails… it has to be accepted as a failure.
We will give only one reason for failure. But there are many reasons for success. They say that it was because of their acting that it was successful. Similarly, they gave many reasons for the success of the film Garuda. By Suri… by Sasikumar… by the villain… by the director… they mentioned many things. But for me the success of this film is due to only one person. It is producer Kumar. Because he designed this movie. He was the one who decided that I would be suitable for my role. I don’t know when this character is described to me. Since hearing the story of this film..
Producer Kumar was the only one who was confident that the film would be a success till its release. Everyone else, including me, said we would know only after the release of the film.
Before the release of the film, there was a situation where the film could not be sold on digital platforms, but without worrying about it, the producer was the one who believed that the film would definitely be a hit. Even though the ODD did not sell, he took a risk and released the film.
This ‘Garudan’ has created the hope that fans will visit the cinema and enjoy a movie. Garudan is successfully running in the theaters for the third week. Family by family the fans come. It makes me happy.
Vinyogasthar Chidambaram was the one who helped me during the release of ‘Kodiveeran’. I am really happy to say that this film is also running successfully in theatres.I also thank Five Star Senthil for presenting the film.
I am also thankful to RV Udayakumar and Vetrimaran.
I came to act as Suri in this movie. It turned out well for me. I thought a good thing. It turned out to be a huge good thing for me. No one can call soori as paratha soori anymore. Because he destroyed it all with his excellent performance. Now he will be the hero of the story. He will continue to win as long as he is the hero of the story. It gets a bit difficult when he becomes the protagonist. But I really like Suri who worked very hard. His success.. I am as happy as I am.
He invited people to come to theaters to witness the success of the film. I told him that you should enjoy this victory. Fans will celebrate in every theater. When the fans cheer and celebrate, we feel a sense of dread. When they give us hope, we feel a sense of responsibility. There will be fear of keeping that responsibility. It is that fear that drives us to work hard for years on end. So Suri won like we all won. We are all happy with Suri’s success.
Director Durai. I have been learning a lot from Senthilkumar, how to handle star actors on set with patience and a smile from him. Can we make some changes on the set? When asked, he took it in and immediately accepted it and gave us freedom. He is also an important reason for the success of this film. ” said.
Director Vethimaran said, “Thank you to the Tamil fans and the media for making Garudan a success.
Nowadays fans refuse to visit theatres. The film business depends on digital platforms. This is what we have been modeling for the past three years. Digital Platforms. The investment for the film will come from the display rights. Theatrical release is an added bonus. Karum is one of the few films that changed this this year. It can also be called the second film. Garudan proved that the money invested in a film can be recovered from the theater…from the collection of the theater. The film confirmed that the sale of digital platform and television rights can be kept as a bonus.
I feel this type of business is more democratic. Because when making a film for digital platforms, television companies, they buy what they need at that time. If not needed, they will not even look back. Although this is gratifying on the one hand…as a creator…as a producer…there is creative freedom when you release it in theaters and take it directly to the people. But this is not the case with digital platforms.
I think the reason for the success of this film is the hard work of the director Durai Senthilkumar followed by the producer of the film Kumar. He was followed by cinematographer Arthur Wilson. Director Durai Senthilkumar has shared with me several times about his contribution. The actors who acted in the film after him.
Sasikumar joining this film was surprising to me at first. After watching the film, this character suits Sasi Kumar very well. I felt he gave a unique performance.
Suri’s labor is extraordinary. During the shooting of Liberation, he sustained an injury near his right shoulder. He acted in this film without taking a break. He made the injury worse. However, he has given hundred percent effort for the role he has taken up. He is an actor who lives up to the expectations of the director. Actor Suri is always ready to surprise the director on the sets.
Suri is the one who tries to be the character instead of trying to imbibe the feeling of the character while shooting the scene. If Suri develops this continuously… he will go to an extra height as an even better actor.”
Actor Suri said, “Anyone can prepare the story for a film and go to the shooting. The shooting can be completed.” Post shooting tasks can also be completed. You can also release the film with difficulty. It is difficult to get such a platform after the release of the film. In that way, I have come to such a stage for both the films in which I played the hero of the story. Thanks to everyone who supported this.
I was in my office when the press screening of this film was screened. I was very nervous. I was worried about what the press review would be like. They called me during the break of the film and informed me that the film is good.
That’s when I got some relief. After that, with the completion of the film, all the journalists unanimously said that the film is good, and hope was born. It was happy. Your word of mouth has spread all over Tamil Nadu and this film has become a hit. People celebrated this film. The film also got the best opening.
I would like to take this moment to express my sincere gratitude to all the technicians, actors and actresses who worked in this film.
Thanks also to the friends who extended a helping hand during the financial difficulties encountered during the release of the film.
I am eternally indebted to Vethimaran for creating a pre-liberation-post-liberation situation in my life
I would also like to thank the director Durai Senthilkumar who directed this movie and the producer Kumar who produced the movie on a grand scale. I have known Kumar for fourteen years. He has never been greedy for money and has brought me to a good position. He has brought me so far without leaving me anywhere for money. Even after entrusting me as the hero of the story to Vetrimaran, he decided to continue acting as the hero of the story, this ‘Karuda’. I would also like to thank the producer Kumar for making today a successful film. Thanks to all the distributors who helped in the release of this film.
