Director Karthik Subbaraj’s Stone Bench production, ‘Perusu’ is directed by Ilango Ram and stars Vaibhav, Sunil, Bala Saravanan, Reddy Kingsley, Niharika and many others. It will be released in theaters on March 14. Its trailer launch was held today.
Producer Karthikeyan Santhanam said, “‘Perusu’ is the film that came when we were waiting to see what we could do even bigger after ‘Jigardanda Double X’. Thanks to Ilango for that. This is the 16th film of Stone Bench Productions. When it comes to adult films, films in India target certain things. But in Western countries, they take it in an interesting and non-offensive way. We have broken these things down and brought them to life in the film ‘Perusu’. We have given a new angle to the subject of adult. Thanks to Ilango and the team for making this possible. Baweja Studios has also produced this film with us. We need your support.”
Writer Balaji said, “This is my first film as a writer in films. I have written in web series before. Even though it is an adult comedy, we have carefully written the story so that no one who watches it should frown. I am sure you all will like it.”
Actress Dhanalakshmi, “Congratulations to everyone who worked with me in the film. Thank you to the director and producer for giving me the opportunity. This film is a big opportunity for me. Many people would have seen me through ‘Nakkalites.’ So far, many people have seen me in a comedy role. But, I have also grown as a character artist in this. Death is inevitable for everyone. This film has told that reality.”
Actor Swaminathan, “Just as director Sundar. C makes the film fun, Elango will also enjoy and enjoy every scene. Vaibhav, Munishkanth, Kingxy, Balasekaran, Dhanalakshmi, Sunil, everyone has naturally woven together in their excellent performances. This is a film that should be watched with family fun.”
Actor Gajaraj, “Thank you to the producer and director Ram for giving me the opportunity, believing that I would get a comedy. My son has also said that I have acted well. People should watch it and tell me. I pray that the film becomes a huge success”.
Actor Karunakaran, “For the first time, the director did not tell me a story. Others like the producer and actor Vaibhav told me the story. It has come out as a wonderful film. Thanalaxmi Amma, Swaminathan sir, Sunil, Kingsley have acted well. Crazy Mohan’s touch will be in the film. I am happy to have acted in a fun comedy film.”
Actor Munishkanth, “Thank you to everyone, the director, producer and the film crew. I had asked Karthik Subbaraj sir for an appointment. He was the one who gave me a chance in this film in which Vaibhav sir played the hero. Even if you call it an adult film, there is no reason in the story for that. It has come out as a good film”.
Actor Kingsley, “Thank you to the director and producer who gave me a chance in this film. Everyone has acted superbly. Karunakaran will act well without missing a beat. Thanks to Karthik Subbaraj’s father too. Both Dhanalakshmi Akka and Deepa Akka are great strengths for the film. Chandini and Niharika have all given super performances. Thank you”.
Actor Bala Saravanan, “When I heard the story of this film, I thought a lot about how they were going to film it. The director has filmed the adult comedy in a way that everyone can watch without frowning. This film will be an important film in my career. Thanks to Karthik Subbaraj sir for giving me the opportunity. This film will be an unforgettable experience in all of our lives. Karthik Subbaraj gave everyone freedom. ‘Perusu’ will speak with a smile”.
Actress Chandini, “This year has been a big one for me. My third film is being released. Honestly, such a story has never come before. It is surprising how the director thought of such a story. We had fun working on this film. The main reason for that is the actors. They bought us food throughout the shooting. All the actors sat and ate together. Dhanalakshmi ma’am has acted on another level. Come to the theater on March 14 to see what Perusu is in the film. This film is definitely a family film,” he said.
Actress Niharika said, “First of all, I thank Balaji sir. He was the one who told me this story. I am proud to have worked with Karthik Subbaraj sir. I am happy to have acted with actors I grew up watching since my school and college days.”
Distributor Sakthivelan said, “This year will start positively for Stone Bench with the film ‘Perusu’. ‘Perusu’ will definitely be a big hit. Stone Bench is very passionate about making films. We will give good cinema to the fans.
Those who want to go and add to the film. Working with them was a special excitement. There will be a big twist right from the start of the film ‘Perusu’. I was shocked by that. The story taken by the film will not make you frown at any point. Dhanalakshmi Amma is like another Manoramma for us. She and Deepaka are a perfect combination. All the actors have competed and acted. It will be a huge hit film”.
Director Ilango Ram, “Producers with good banners are important to bring the film to a good place. Thanks to Karthik Subbaraj sir for that. I like films from the eighties like ‘Aanbavam’, ‘Indu Poi Naali Vaa’. Similarly, this film will be a fun one to watch with the family. Vaibhav-Sunil were perfect for this story. Thanam, Swaminathan, Gajaraj, Deepa have all acted superbly. You can come and watch this film with your family. You will not frown at any point. I have got a good team.”
Actor Vaibhav, “It has come as a super story to watch with the family. When you watch it in the theater on March 14, you will understand it yourself. Thanam Amma is intertwined in the acting. Gajaraj, Reddin, Munishkanth have all acted well. The shooting of the film was very fun. Like you, I am also eager to watch the film. My brother is also acting together for the first time. Thank you.”
Director Karthik Subbaraj, “Ram sir and I often talk to each other. He tells me when good films come. That is how we were going to present the film ‘Koozhangal’. Due to some reasons, it was missed. Then this ‘Perusu’ is the film that Ram sir suggested. It is difficult to make others laugh. Balaji has done a great job. The important thing in the story is the actors. I myself said that it would be good if Vaibhav and his brother acted together. I watched the film recently. I liked it very much. Those above 18 years of age can definitely watch it with their families. Along with comedy, there will be emotion in the story. Dhanalakshmi mam has acted superbly. Swaminathan, Appa, Karuna, Kingsley, Munishkanth, Chandni, Niharika, Sunil have all acted brilliantly. This is a well-written story. We need your support,” he said.
