Tamil Film Directors Association President R.V. Udayakumar, Secretary Perarasu, Directors Ezhil, Vasanthabalan, Mithran Jawahar, Choreographer Sridhar, and Anumohan participated in this ceremony as special guests.
Writer Pon. Parthiban said,
“The producer first asked me for a story. I briefly told him two stories. He chose one of them. In the Hollywood film industry, they first choose the story and then choose the others. In that style, this producer first approached the writer and asked me for a story. Then he chose the director. In that way, the film has been shot properly. After finishing the shooting of this film, the director R.V. Udayakumar, who acted in it, saw the scenes and suggested some changes. Accordingly, we made those changes without shooting a single scene again. It was a big surprise, it was in a different way. In that way, the help he gave from his experience is unforgettable.”
Dance director Viji Sathish said,
“The hero of this film, producer Lenin, said he would not act by hugging him. I made him act like that. His wife should not think wrongly,” he said.
Actor Karmegam Sasi said,
“Support these emerging artists.”
Actress Anusha spoke,
“I have acted in two or three films. But this is my first stage. Please help the media take the film to the next level,” she requested.
Actor Kevin spoke,
his voice cracked.
“The director first made a short film called ‘Kuppai’ with me. It won 50 awards at film festivals. I got 6 awards. It’s a pity that the director’s father is not here today,” she said with tears in her eyes.
Director Anumohan spoke,
“None of us struggled to make the film. We were just having fun shooting,” he said.
Art director Pragatheeswaran spoke,
“This is my third film after Dear and Diesel. They gave me what I asked for during the shoot. They did what was needed,” he said.
While costume designer Tripurasundari spoke,
“Everyone in this film was like friends. The salary was received without delay. This film crew was very good.”
While music director Kailash Menon spoke,
“I have composed music for more than 30 films in Malayalam. This is my first film in Tamil. This is a good film crew. The director was clear about what was wanted and what was not. The producer and director are people who have a great passion for cinema. They gave me a lot of hope and encouragement.”
While choreographer Sridhar spoke,
“The hero of this film is a ghetto maasa.
My daughter and I have taken reels together to promote the film. We hope that they will be able to take the film to the next level. The two songs in the film will be a big hit.”
Director Mithran Jawahar speaking,
“R.V. Udayakumar was a busy director in the 90s. Now he is busy as an actor.
Congratulations. I wish this film crew success.”
Director Vasanthapalanan speaking,
“When I see the scenes of this film, it is new. They have come to believe in the story. It is welcome that they come to believe in the story. I congratulate this reliable film crew,” he said.
When Director Perarasu speaks,
” This hero Lenin does not look like a newcomer. He looks like an experienced person. The pairing between him and the heroine Azmin is good. Like Kamal-Sridevi, Rajini-Sripriya, this Lenin-Ashwin pair is also good. This pair should continue to act.
There was a time when the story and the storyteller were important. After the story, they would look for the heroes. After directors like Sridhar, K. Balachander, T Rajender, Bhagyaraj, they took full responsibility for the story, screenplay, dialogues.
Then, rather than what the story was,
the time has come when it comes to who is the hero. The heroes have to decide the story. Now the producer does not decide the story. The hero will decide. But I appreciate this producer for choosing the story. It is something that gives confidence in the film. In that way, it seems like a properly made film. If the producer likes the story and agrees to it, then the director should not be disturbed. It becomes torture. Only if the director is free will the work come out properly.
Why is Chinmayi, who sang in this film, not here? Did she sing the song knowing who the director is? I have to say something at this point. Chinmayi is acting as if she is disrupting the business of the film by singing in a film. She says she sang without knowing, expressing regret. What is the situation when you sing a song in a film? You have to sing it knowing what the lines are. You should not act as if you are harming the business after singing everything. The captain of a film is the director. It is wrong to say that you do not know who the director is. This Chinmayi saying this is not only an insult to that director. It is an insult to every director. Chinmayi should apologize for that. Today, making a film is a matter of life and death. How much trouble they put into making a film. But they easily disrupt it like this. Singers like S. Janaki and P. Susheela are such great singers. They sang all kinds of songs in this film industry. Did this happen back then?
No one has the right to insult a director or producer in particular. It is wrong to criticize after singing and cause trouble,” he said.
Director Ezhil speaking,
“This doesn’t seem like the first film to them. It has come out well. Congratulations to everyone. The producer has given the director freedom and made this film. When the producer comes to act, some craziness will come. But this producer Lenin has not done all that and has made it properly. He is comfortable with the director. That is why the film has come out well. Congratulations.” He said.
The film’s director K. R. Vinoth
Before speaking, he introduced his 12 assistant directors on stage and received the congratulations of the audience. This was a new beginning.
While the director continued,
“We are a growing film crew. We are good friends. That’s why many of us worked tirelessly. This is not an individual effort. It is because everyone worked together that the film came out well. Udayakumar sir was like a guide and trusted the producer director to do everything. I learned from him as an assistant director. The hero acted for about two days during the shooting. From the third day, he started acting as a full-fledged actor. He has now reached a point where he is appreciated by everyone. The film has come out well. This is a civilized film. “It will definitely satisfy everyone,” he said.
Director R. V. Udayakumar speaking,
“First of all, I appreciate this title. A good and beautiful title. First of all, I appreciate producer Lenin. Even though I am from Coimbatore, no Coimbatore person has given me a chance. He has given me a chance. When it came to me, the first thing I said was, are you producing a film? Think about it, be careful. First, I saw the song album ‘Un Koodave’ in which he acted. He became a producer due to the appreciation he received for that song. He became the hero. He has made this film with like-minded people. So this shoot was pleasant.
One thing must be said here. There have been no good stories for the last 10 years. Where are stories like Pasamalar and Kuttam oru Kadambam coming from now? Back then, when they came back from watching films, they would sit on the porch and talk about the films and criticize them. Those were the days when if the film was good, they would go to the theater with their families in a car. Now it’s not like that. Do they make films for everyone to watch? They make films only for a certain audience. Don’t others want to watch the film? They ask why no one comes to the theaters. They make films only for a certain audience. They should make films based on life stories that everyone can watch. Films like that don’t come today. Newcomers should try. I congratulate this film crew,” she said.
Heroine Azmin, speaking,
“I have come from Kerala. I have seen so many stages there. But I feel like this is my first stage. I am nervous. Thank you for giving me my first film opportunity as a heroine. The producer was a good friend and an encourager. Thank you to everyone,” she said.
Rumana Lenin said,
“I chose this story from the two stories that Pon Parthiban told me, as it should be within my budget. He has many stories. Four heroines acted in this film. Each one gave a different reason and left. This heroine’s film kept coming. We rejected her. They showed her photo again and again. We asked her to wash her face and take a selfie and send a photo. She also sent it. She was selected.
To tell the truth, the title of this film was what he said. Before this, we had a simple title.
Even though the director and I had some differences, he was very patient and managed everything. He showed patience that the film should be completed no matter how many differences there were. That surprised me. He finished the film as he said.
Everything has to happen on time for me. I also have to pay my salary regularly on my part. I will give it to you. I will not owe anyone. If we have money, we will shoot. If we do not have money, we will cancel the shoot. We will not owe anyone.
I must mention R.V. Udayakumar sir here. He was very helpful to us even before we decided to act in this film. Before I came to act in this film, he talked to the Producers’ Council and Pepsi for me and resolved many problems. I will never forget that help. This film will definitely be worth watching. I give 100% guarantee that it will be a satisfying film,” he said.
The film crew attended the ceremony.
The ceremony was hosted by Bigg Boss fame Muthukumaran.
