The film crew, directors Mari Selvaraj, Raju Murugan, Ganesh K. Babu, Hemanth, the descendants of poet Vennila, and Kavinmozhi and Nila Bharathi, who have achieved success in Tamil Nadu in the competitive examination conducted by the Central Election Commission, were present as special guests.
Speaking at the event, debutant music composer Srikanth Hariharan said, “Thank you to the producer and director for giving me the opportunity. Thank you to the lyricist, singer, and musicians who worked together on this song. My musical journey as a singer began. A. R. Rahman sir is my spiritual guru. I have composed music for a song featured in this film. I request you to listen to that song and support me,” he said.
Debutant music composer Satya Prakash said, “I am happy. I have also composed music for a song in this film. This song is very close to my heart. K.S. Chithramma has sung this song. This song has taken a place in a very important context of this film. I hope everyone likes it. This is the beginning of my journey. I request everyone to support me,” he said.
Debutant music composer Praveen Saivi said, “I have been in Chennai for 14 years. I am also a witness to the fact that Chennai makes visitors live. Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far. Thank you to the director and producer for giving me the opportunity to work as a music composer in this film. It was an amazing experience. I learned a lot through this film.”
Debutant music composer Anal Akash said, “Thank you to the director and producer for giving me the opportunity to work as a music composer. I have been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time. I think it was an honor for me to share the stage with debutant composers and people like Ghibran,” he said.
Lyricist Karthik Netha said, “I am very happy. I am seeing my dear brother Mari Selvaraj on this stage after many years.
What I want to say on this stage is about director Nelson. He has a continuous literary reading. He is serious about observing the movements of society in the present and recording his views on it. He is also a serious viewer of world films. This is a work that is soaked in such experiences.
When writing songs with him, the environment he describes for the song is not a celebration of life but is within our lives. He describes the environment in a way that can subtly express human feelings. This is easy for those who can write like me. For this, I would like to thank him at this moment.
I would like to thank the other lyricists who worked on this film and the artists who are making their debut as composers.
Whatever this world gives us, we have to give back only love. This is what this film also speaks about.”
Lyricist Muthamizh said, “Five music composers worked on the film ‘Kannil Vaam Kathagal’ released in the 1980s. All of them are legends in the music industry. At a time when songs are getting stale, I appreciate the decision taken by the director and producer to introduce five music composers in a film. I thank them for that. I wish them all to become legends in the music industry.
I wish that this DNA film – may it enter the DNA of the fans and create excitement,” he said.
Actor Ramesh Thilak said, “This is a good film. This film will give a big surprise to Atharvaa’s fans.
Ten years ago, the music launch of ‘Oru Naal Koothu’ directed by director Nelson was held on this very stage. He continued to
I want to direct films because he is an honest director. He gave me a chance to act in his film ten years ago. After that, he has given me a chance in this film only now. He will call me and give me a chance only if there is a suitable character. This film is releasing on June 20th. Watch the film and give your honest reviews,” he said.
Lyricist Umadevi said, “I have written two songs in this film. I thank and congratulate the director for introducing five talented young music directors.
I had written two songs in the film Pargana, which was released under the direction of Nelson.
I found the female characters in the films released under the direction of Nelson to be very important to me. He would have made neglected women important characters in his films.
I also liked the character of Divya in ‘DNA’. The lyrics are designed to remind me of distant experiences.
I also thank the producer for making films with wonderful storylines,” he said.
Actress Manasa Chaudhary said, “DNA is a special film for me. This is my debut film in Tamil. I thank the producer, director and production company for this. I hope that even if it is a small role, I will definitely make a mark in the hearts of the fans. I will never forget the moments I worked with Atharvaa.”
Director Ganesh K Babu said, “Salute to the producer who gave me my identity. He works hard to ensure that every film reaches the people properly. He loves cinema very much. He has a perfect judgment about any film. I wish this film success too.
Director Nelson has narrated all his films neatly. I thank and congratulate all the actors, actresses and technicians who worked in this film. ” He said.
Director Raju Murugan said, “This is a film that has been made by all those who are close to my heart. I see this as my celebration.
As Ramesh Thilak mentioned, if Nelson wins, it will be like opening the door for a generation of people. He has reached this place from a very ordinary position.
Only a few people can maintain a balanced state in life despite the ups and downs. Nelson is such a director.
I have seen this film. I can definitely say… This will be the first film directed by Nelson to gain mass support and a big commercial success. This is not a formal word. It will definitely happen.
This film will definitely be a good film for Atharva too. She has acted wonderfully.
Nimisha is one of the good actresses in India. She has already come to us across languages. She has acted specially in this film.
This film will be a film that people will celebrate.
Producer Ambedkumar- My friend beyond being a producer. A good man. A man I always look up to with amazement. He leaves Chennai at 6:00 in the morning and reaches his destination at 9:00, then leaves from there at 6:00 in the evening and reaches Chennai at 9:00. He is a hard worker who works tirelessly. This hard work has made him a winner in all fields – politics – cinema – business.
He has a deep love for cinema. He has the ability to tell a story before drinking a cup of coffee. He has a lot of stories to direct. If he succeeds, people will get a lot of good films. In that way, DNA will also be a huge success. Let’s meet at the success ceremony,” he said.
Music composer Ghibran said, ”My congratulations to all the music composers who are making their debut with this film. When director Nelson contacted me for the background score of this film, I told him that I am your biggest fan. There is an elegance in the storytelling in his films. According to me, this DNA is better than the three films he directed.
I really enjoy his speech. He can direct a political entertainer. He has that much knowledge about politics. Thank you for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to compose the background score for the film. ”
Actress Nimisha Sajayan said, “DNA is a very special film for me. Thank you to the director for believing in me and giving me the opportunity. It was a bit challenging to play the role of Divya.
Atharva is a talented co-star. He has created magic on screen to the extent that the audience is amazed.
Thank you to all the actors who acted in the film. This film is releasing on the twentieth of June. Everyone
I request you to visit the cinema hall with your family, watch it, enjoy it and support it,” he said.
Speaking in the language of special guest Kavin, “Hello everyone. I have come here on the invitation of our constituency MLA Ambedkumar. Usually, celebrities from the film world are invited as guests at such music launch events. I would like to thank the producer for inviting us for the first time.
We have only seen and enjoyed cinema on screen. It is a great magic when we see that so many people have worked hard and created it.
It is like writing an exam and waiting for its result. The preview and music of this film are good. I congratulate the film and the film crew for the success of this film, ”he said.
Speaking in the language of special guest Nila Bharathi, “I thank producer Ambedkumar for inviting me as a special guest at this event.
Will it be relevant to go to this event when he has invited me? I thought. After coming here and meeting everyone and listening to their talks, I feel closer.
I have read series like ‘Vattyum Mudalum’ and ‘Marakave Gunthi’ published by Ananda Vikatan. It is a joy to see Raju Murugan, who wrote them, here. It is a joy to meet Mari Selvaraj, Balaji Sakthivel and Nelson.
I recently watched the web series ‘Dappa Kartal’. Nimisha Sajayan acted wonderfully in it. I am seeing them here in person and my congratulations to her too.
I am seeing those who enjoyed watching ‘Super Singers’ shows here as music composers. My congratulations to them too.
I am proud to be participating in this event. I congratulate and thank the film DNA for its success and the film crew,” he said.
Director Mari Selvaraj said, ”I watched this film with my assistants last night. After that, we discussed the design of Divya’s character. I couldn’t figure out what disorder Divya has. My assistant explained that she is very energetic. She will keep doing something reckless. I am watching the film while thinking about it. But after I came here on stage, I noticed her actions. I think she must have designed the character by watching her actions..! She is so excited.
I congratulate this film crew. I like director Nelson very much because one day I saw the film Koothu.
Generally, we have two options for choosing cinema. Regardless of what anyone says, we stubbornly choose stories that suit our imagination and bring those stories to the screen..
Another option is to direct the film thinking about what people like… what is successful… what will make us stand out? What will make us famous..
If you look at all four films directed by Nelson, it will be surprising. He would have chosen heavy stories.
I was amazed to see that he would have portrayed the beginning of the story of One Day Koothu in a very mature way.
The characters in his films each have an inner life.
He stands out among the directors of our generation. His sense of social responsibility is evident in his works. He chooses characters that most people do not see and brings them to the screen.
When watching this film, it is like throwing a leaf into a flowing river and it goes without any movement. This is a film that gives the feeling of reading a novel without any protest. Nelson is the one who delivers such a film. My congratulations to him.
When I asked my assistants who saw this film, how was the film? Their reaction was the peace and silence that everyone has after reading a novel.
When you watch this film, it is like seeing the truth in person without any protest.
We will see an incident that happened in the place where we went to bed and woke up, and we will be standing at a counter to pay the bill. There will be a story inside that counter. We do not know it. We will have traveled in a taxi. A terrible incident will have happened in that taxi. We do not know it. We will have continued to live our lives there.
Similarly, there will be a story with humanity in the places where we went to bed and woke up.. and suffered.. DNA is a film that reflects that.
What would happen if such a thing happened to people in the society we live with trust? The question is also about the value of humanity
This film talks about how we live in this society where there are people who can and people who do not respect humanity, and how we are trapped in it.
I would like to congratulate all the actors, actresses, technicians, debutant musicians who have acted in this film,” he said.
Actor Atharvaa said, “Thank you to all the special guests who came to this event, especially Kavinmozhi and Nila Bharathi. We are proud that both of them came.
Pariyerum Perumal is one of the best films released in the last decade. I don’t think I lost anything by missing this film’s opportunity. Because Kathir had acted very wonderfully. If Mari Selvaraj has any other story.. I would also like to inform you that I am ready to act in it.
Before Director Nelson told the story of the film DNA, producer Ambeth Kumar sir told me on the phone. But at that time, what is the title of the film? He did not ask. Director Nelson.. In the films he directed, he would have stopped being emotional and told it calmly. So I was eager to hear what story he was going to tell.
When he started telling the story, he said the title of this film is DNA. I immediately thought that DNA would be a science fiction story related to genetics. But he said that DNA means Divya and Anand.
Nimisha had played the role of Divya. I have played the role of Anand.
Every film gives you an experience. While acting in this film, I went with an open mind without thinking about anything. They improved the scenes on the set. I knew that in this film, Nimisha and I were acting in a scene. That scene would be only 15 seconds. The dialogues for that scene would be completed in 15 seconds. Even after that, Nimisha showed her acting skills. I was also showing my acting skills. It lasted for 40 seconds. After that, when we saw that scene, it was beautiful. Nelson has kept that scene in the film as it is. It is also included in the preview. It’s a scene where two people are sitting on the bed and crying. This happens only in some films.
I asked the director who the music of this film is. He said that I have experience working in FM radio. So I am planning to introduce five new talented music composers.
After hearing the story of this film, all the other actors, actresses, technicians were immediately coordinated. We started shooting in just two months. The producer is also an important reason for this. This was possible because of his love for cinema.
I would like to thank all the actors, actresses and technicians who worked in this film at this moment.
Anyone can easily write the story. But writing each character is difficult. You have to think a lot for this. Director Nelson had written all the characters well. There will be no confusion for the fellow actors on the set.
This film is a good film. He told me that this will be the best film in your film journey. I am very happy in this regard.
Usually, when a film is released, the artists who worked on it are nervous and scared. But in this film, we are not afraid. There is no anxiety. There is a small amount of trust. There is also the trust that we have made a good film.
In general, trust is very important. The trust placed in a friend… The trust placed in a lover’s girlfriend… In the case of this film, the trust a wife has in her husband… The film tells how much their love can be enhanced by that trust. So I hope all the fans will like this film.
DNA is releasing in theaters on June 20th. I expect this film to be a big success. I request everyone to come and watch it with their families, enjoy it and support it,” he said.
Speaking, director Nelson Venkatesan said, ”More than saying that the producer of this film, Ambeth Kumar is a great man, I should say that he is a great people’s representative. Every day, he goes from Chennai to his constituency, Vandavasi, to meet the people and only then returns to Chennai. I have gone to Vandavasi to meet him a few times. I was surprised when I met a people’s representative who is close to the constituency.
After I told him the story of the film, he told everyone. In that sense, I thank him for giving me the opportunity to direct this film.
Five songs have already been composed for the film ‘Aey Nee Romba Azhaaga Irku’. Five composers have made their debut in this film. Five are
I had five different experiences while working with Dham.
This film needed a strong and solid background score. For that, we contacted Ghibran. I love all his songs. I also thank him for working with me on this film.
I would also like to thank director Mari Selvaraj who came as a special guest. He contacted me in 2016 and praised the film One Day Koothu. It was his speech on a stage that inspired me to direct Farghana. I am happy that Mari Selvaraj has reached such a height today.
I also thank directors Raju Murugan, Hemanth, Ganesh K. Babu.
If there is no Atharva and Nimisha, this film would not exist. Why? You will know when you watch this film on screen.
This is a crime action drama. All five songs in this film are wonderful.
DNA will be different from my previous three films and will be a work that does not compromise anything as a director. I hope you all like it.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the actors, actresses and technicians who worked on this film.”
