Produced by Udaya, Daya N. Panneerselvam, M. Thangavel under the banner of Jason Studios, Sachin Cinemas, Sridayakaran Cine Production, My Studios, ‘Acoust’ directed by Prabhu Srinivas, released on August 1st, is running successfully in theaters with the overwhelming support of the fans. The ‘Acoust’ crew organized a function in Chennai to thank the media and fans who contributed to this success.
Producers A. L. Alagappan, Alagan Tamilmani, and Soundar attended the function as special guests along with the crew.
Producer Daya N. Panneerselvam said, “My heartfelt thanks to Udaya, the hero and friend who has been working hard for the success of this film. This success belongs to him. He is the one who has been embracing, coordinating and guiding everyone from the beginning of the film to the present. Until now, he has not taken the success of this film on his head and has been working for our interests. His aim is to continue acting in good films and continue to succeed. I wish him success.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the actors, actresses, technicians, distributors and theater owners who worked on this film. I would like to thank the media and fans who made the film a success.
I would like to thank the director and Udaya for giving me the opportunity to play the role of Nagaraj in this film.
Following the success of this film, we are planning to join hands with the same team again in a new film. An official announcement regarding this will be made soon,” he said.
Director Prabhu Srinivas said, “There is a little story behind all the actors, actresses and technicians who worked in this film. I cannot talk about it in detail now. However, I express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone. First of all, I express my heartfelt gratitude to the media who brought this film ‘Acoust’ to the people and to the fans who made it a success.
After watching this film, I received compliments from America as well. The verse that comes to my mind is ‘Deivathan aaga theninnum murithathan meivarutthak kooli tharum’. The seed for this effort was A. L. Udaya. From the moment the work of the film began till the moment I am speaking now, Udaya has been working hard. I am watching this every day.
After the release of this film, we as a team traveled from place to place like Trichy, Madurai, Coimbatore, Erode and Tirunelveli to meet the fans. He faced the fans and the media as a single person. All the fans have started asking how they are doing. Udaya is the reason why we got the love of the fans. At this moment, I will mention Udaya as the main reason for the success of this film.
I would like to thank everyone who has made me a successful director in Tamil even though I have been successful in Kannada cinema,” he said.
Actor A. L. Udaya said, “There is a lot of pain to share. I don’t know if I will be able to work like this anymore. I am so tired.
With the support of my friends, they started and completed the work of the film and made it successful with the help of the media. We have been struggling a lot in the meantime, we cannot describe it, we cannot share it.
The story of this film is a good story. We have made the film with the support of friends, producers and the film industry. When it was planned to release, some people worked secretly to prevent the release of this film. Some people were also there to prevent it. All these are painful things.
If we are standing at this place in cinema today, this is not ordinary. It is a great success. This place is like that. Because so many good films have disappeared. I don’t know whose blessings it is, this film has become a huge success and is running successfully in the theaters for the third week. We are fighting to keep this film running in the theaters. But my team and I are doing this struggle willingly.
This is the last chance that God has given me.
I have confidence. However, I have been forced into an environment where I have to make difficult decisions. There are many things in this film industry like intrigue and hostility. They prevent a film from being released. If this film has been released and is successful, then it is because of the media and the people.
This film is running successfully in the theaters for the third week after its release. That is why we wanted to thank the media and the fans who were responsible for this.
After the release of the film, when we go to Trichy, Madurai, Coimbatore, the fans there celebrate by mentioning the name of the character in this film. They show great love for us. To that extent, this film has performed a great magic. This is God’s blessing.
Whatever association is in the cinema, they should be firm. Because Tamil cinema is a monopoly. I say this firmly. It is difficult for us to win in this. We cannot fight again. If this happens to us with so many years of cinema experience, it is difficult to imagine for new producers. We are in this situation now. At this moment, I pay great respect to the theater owners. Because many theater owners support small investment producers like us. So we cannot say anything bad about them. In areas like Tiruppur, Salem, Coimbatore, the theater owners have been supporting this film till now, saying that it is good. So we, the producers, are not right. There is a lot of selfishness in the Producers’ Association.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you at this moment, including director Prabhu Srinivas, producer Soundar, producer Alagan Tamilmani, actors Danny, Prabhakar, Sridhar, Hyde Karthik, actresses Subhadra, Deepa Bhaskar, cinematographer Maruthanayakam, music composer Naren Balakumar, stunt master Silva, singers G. V. Prakash Kumar, Venkat Prabhu, Premji, VFX Murthy.
All producers should benefit. Next, our primary task is to organize the release of the film. For this, a strong team should be formed in the Producers’ Association. As far as I am concerned, I am not going to compete in any association anymore. I am going to look after my own work only. We need a strong association like the one led by producers K. Yaar and Ibrahim Rawathar. There were leaders who were not afraid of anything, only when such leaders come, cinema will be good.
I am not the only hero in this film, Ajmal is also a hero. Thanks to Janhvika and Yogi Babu.
The team is planning to work together again. Director Prabhu Srinivas has told the story under the name ‘Dandanakka Don’. Good news will come soon in this regard. I assure you that I will continue the success of this ‘Accused’ film and continue to deliver successful films without a break,” he said.
