Producer Ananya Amswardhan said…
Our short film Kanni has received a great response, I am very happy. Your appreciation is the reason for this success. The short film Kanni started out as a very ordinary talk in college and gradually became big. We invited both Ram Nishant and Mridula to act for this short film. Thank you for your contribution. Thank you to editor Arun, music composer Tejash, and cinematographer Kichha. This dream came true because of everyone’s hard work. Thank you to everyone. Thank you to everyone who supported this creation.
Editor Arun Kumar said..,
Thank you to everyone who came to this festival. This is a very personal project for me. I knew about it since it was online. I was hesitant about how we were going to make the 1995 period. Karishma has achieved it. She has directed it very brilliantly. Tejash has given good music. The cinematography was very good. All the actors have given good performances. Thank you to everyone who supported her.
Music composer Tejash Krishna said…
My first thanks to Ananya Amsvardhan and Karishma. The reception of this short film has given me great joy. Ram has acted very brilliantly. Arun has edited it very well. Thank you to Ananya for supporting students. I hope many more directors will come under her support, thank you.
Actress Mridula said…
Kanni started as a small film. Ananya said that she is doing it as a college project. But with everyone’s hard work, it has come out very impressive. I have never seen anyone like this in my college days. This success has given me great joy. Thank you all.
Actor Ram Nishant said..,
No one can believe that this film was made by a college girl. When you are studying in college, you cannot think like this. Congratulations to Karishma. Ananya has made a good film, thank you. I think I will act in Karishma’s first film. Thank you all.
Actress Rhea said…
When Karishma told me that I should do the role of a young virgin, I was very hesitant. I did not think that it would be this big. Thank you to Ananya Amsvardhan and Karishma for giving me the opportunity. Thank you all.

Thank you to the journalists. Karishma’s father Saravanan is my close friend. I have known Karishma since she was a little girl. It is an honor that he has directed such a film. It was like a Balachander film. The making was amazing. This team is an amazing team. The music director, the editor, everyone has done a great job. Congratulations to everyone. Congratulations to Karishma. Thank you.
Distributor Gokul said….
Thank you to Saravanan sir for inviting me. His father is a great supporter of Karishma. Karishma has become a very creative person. She will definitely direct a film before she finishes college, congratulations to everyone.
Actor Kayal Chandran said…
Saravanan Anna showed the film Kanni saying that it was directed by my daughter. It was so amazing. Karishma has proven that a college student can make such a mature film. Saravanan Anna is a huge honor. The producer, editor, music director, and cinematographer have all worked very well. Congratulations to everyone for their growth in the film industry. Congratulations to all
Director S R Prabhakaran said…
This film did not give the feeling of a short film, there was a soul in the film. My first congratulations to Ananya who made this short film. I have known Karishma since she was born. I never expected such a work from her. I thought she would have made her life during her college days. It seemed to be a work made with great care and dedication. In Tamil cinema, only stories about caste issues have become stories in the last 10 years. There are no stories about women’s rights and the struggle for life. I feel that this film is a film that speaks to that. Women have many problems. The dialogue was all mature. The framing was like Mani Ratnam sir and the story was like Balachander sir. Karishma will become a very important director in Tamil cinema. The entire crew has put in a wonderful effort. Everyone will come out great. Congratulations to everyone.
Actor Vidharth said…
My first congratulations to Ananya for producing this work. Saravanan is my close friend. I came as a father to congratulate Karishma. But here they have called me a senior actor. After watching this film, I felt like I had seen a Balachander movie came. I asked Karishma how she wrote it in this way. I was surprised. I was surprised how Karishma shot it so maturely. Both Ram and Mridula have acted wonderfully. It is surprising that the story set in the 90s was shot with great camera angles. The cinematographer has done a great job. Karishma has been amazing. A big place awaits everyone in cinema. Congratulations to everyone.
Director Karishma’s father Saravanan spoke…
Thank you to everyone who accepted my invitation. I always tell Karishma that the most important thing in cinema is the producer, there is no one without the producer, so I always tell him to respect the producer. First of all, thank you to Ananya. I am proud to be called Karishma’s father at this event. Director Prabhakaran and I are roommates. We have been relying on cinema for these 20 years. That cinema has given us this success. I watch a lot of short films because I am in cinema, but when I saw this short film, I was surprised. Karishma is still a child to me, but it was surprising and shocking that she made a film about prostitution. I congratulated you for having a social conscience and kept making films. Arun and Tejash have all done a great job. I am extremely proud. I am completely happy. Thank you to my friends. Thank you to God. Thank you to everyone.
Actor-producer Amsvardhan Ravichandran spoke…
I am confused whether I am a father or a guest at this event. Ananya first came to say that I am making a short film. I said okay, but I didn’t tell her what the story was. She said, “Watch the film when it’s finished.” I was shocked when I saw it. First of all, congratulations to the cinematographer, he has brought such wonderful visuals. Ram and Mridula have acted wonderfully. Karishma has directed it wonderfully. My congratulations to the entire team. They will make good films in the future. Thank you to everyone who supported me.
Director Karishma said…
First of all, thank you to my parents. Cinema is a competitive medium, but thank you to them for believing in me. Thank you to my producer friend Ananya. No matter what I ask, he never says no. Thank you to Amshavardhan uncle for believing in us. Thank you to editor Arun. Tejash is the one who brought many scenes to life, thank you to him. The cinematographer used to fight with me a lot, but when I see the visuals, I am happy. Thank you to all the artists who worked with me. Ram Nishant agreed without asking anything. Mridula was very supportive. Thank you to everyone who gave so much support to a young team.
The short film “Kanni”, which was made with the hard work of college youth, is available to watch on the Moviebuff website
