Produced by Sri Venkateswara Creations, directed by Raja, and starring Balaram J. Balaji, the music album ‘Silent Influencer’ features vocals by G.V. Prakash Kumar and Aikki Berry. A press meet regarding its release was recently held.
Cinematographer Ilaiyaraja stated, “My thanks go to producer Bharathi and the entire film crew.”
Editor Ram Gopi remarked, “I thank Director Raja and the producer for giving me this opportunity. Whenever Dinesh Master choreographs a song, it is bound to be a hit. In this project, he has also acted in it. This song is definitely going to be a hit.”
Lyricist Jayanthi said, “The song was finalized only after it met with the approval of everyone—from the director to the producer. Similarly, I am confident that all of you will enjoy it as well.”
Art Director Sampath Thilak expressed, “I thank the director and the producer for providing me with this opportunity.”
Ashok Annamalai, Creative Head at Venkateswara Creations, noted, “This was Director Raja’s concept. He has executed it brilliantly. Everyone is sure to love it. My best wishes to the team.”
Choreographer Dinesh commented, “The song has turned out exceptionally well. Please watch it and let us know your thoughts.”
Music Composer Aswamithra stated, “Both the video and the music have come out beautifully. Thank you.”
Director Raja Padmanabhan said, “I thank the producer for giving me this opportunity. My gratitude extends to the entire team—including Dinesh Master, the music composer, and the lyricist. We actually filmed this project back in December of last year; however, it remains perfectly relevant to the current times. I hope the media will help take my debut song to the masses.” Director Saran remarked, “Venkateswara is the producer of my film Amarkalam, which was recently re-released. That memory immediately came to mind. Upon watching this song, I have just one question for the director: You have shown us only one song from what is essentially a two-and-a-half-hour film—where is the rest of the movie? When do you plan to shoot it? There is a palpable positive vibe radiating from the entire team. Based solely on this single track, you could easily craft a full-length feature film. Saregama does not typically select and release a song on its platform without rigorous scrutiny; they have a comprehensive checklist of criteria. The fact that you have successfully cleared all those hurdles signifies that you have already achieved success right there. Dinesh Master always goes the extra mile to ensure that a song reaches the masses and achieves commercial success. The reason songs like Seena Thaana and Therku Seemayile from my films continue to be celebrated by fans to this day is entirely due to Dinesh Master’s choreography. He has executed this song with equal brilliance. The vocals and music—courtesy of G.V. Prakash Kumar and Aikki Berry—are excellent. Although this song was filmed in just two days, the final result looks as polished and refined as if it had taken seven days to shoot. Congratulations to the entire team! I would also like to extend my best wishes to Vijay, who has transitioned from the film industry to become a Chief Minister today.” Director Perarasu stated, “Balaji, who has performed in this song, possesses all the qualities required to become a lead actor. Dinesh Master is the one dance choreographer whom every hero admires. Actor Vijay is generally open to working with any technician assigned to a project; however, for the first time—specifically for the film Sivakasi—the only individual he personally recommended was Dinesh Master. For the song ‘Kodambakkam Area…’, we initially attempted to have Simran and Jyothika dance alongside Vijay, but ultimately, we cast Nayanthara. We conducted two days of rehearsals with Nayanthara for the dance sequence. At that time, only Vijay and Nayanthara performed to Dinesh Master’s choreography; yet today, countless people are dancing to that very song on Reels. Balaji, the protagonist of this song, is an ardent fan of Vijay. From our very own Tamil film industry, Vijay Sir has ascended to the seat of the Chief Minister. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to him. Following in the footsteps of MGR and Jayalalithaa, Vijay has emerged from the film fraternity to become the Chief Minister—a matter of immense pride for us. Today, the film industry faces numerous challenges; I believe that Vijay Sir’s administration will mark a new dawn and provide a resolution to all these issues. If the Tamil Nadu State Government Awards were presented promptly—ideally within the year following a film’s release, rather than after a significant delay—it would serve as a tremendous source of encouragement and rejuvenation for the award recipients. Despite their deep involvement in political affairs, both MGR and Karunanidhi harbored a unique affection and concern for the film industry. Regardless of the nature of the issue, they would patiently listen to the grievances and work towards finding a viable solution. Those who succeeded them, however, seemed to have neglected the film industry; consequently, the State Awards were distributed with considerable delays. Unlike that trend, I urge the Honorable Chief Minister Vijay—much like MGR and Kalaignar before him—to demonstrate a genuine concern for the film industry and take the necessary steps to resolve our pressing issues.” Director Ezhil remarked, “It is a wonderful thing that—even before a feature film is produced and reaches the public—the hero, the director, and the entire technical crew are able to connect with the audience through an album like this. It is, moreover, a very smart strategic move! Rather than treating it casually with the mindset of ‘it’s just a song,’ they have executed it with great professionalism, enlisting the talents of excellent actors and technical artists. My best wishes to everyone involved.”
Director R.V. Udayakumar stated, “There is not even an iota of doubt that watching this gave me the same sense of satisfaction one derives from watching a song sequence within a full-length feature film. To those who worked…”
“Congratulations to everyone present here. As Director Perarasu rightly noted, the Tamil film industry is currently facing numerous challenges. My congratulations go to Chief Minister Vijay, who today successfully proved his majority in the Legislative Assembly. Congratulations to Vijay for achieving—in his very first attempt—what many other heroes have strived for but failed to accomplish. Following in the footsteps of MGR, it is now Vijay’s turn. In both cinema and politics, one’s success is directly proportional to the strength and conviction with which one pursues their endeavors. Vijay possesses all the essential attributes: youth, dynamism, and wisdom. Consequently, he is destined to remain the Chief Minister for at least two more generations. Rather than merely focusing on bestowing awards upon the film fraternity, he will prioritize and dedicate his efforts toward the welfare of the people. The number of directors who consistently deliver high-quality films has dwindled; furthermore, producers and actors have failed to effectively utilize the talents of those who remain. It is imperative that everyone works together in unity to safeguard and preserve the Tamil film industry. On a different note, my best wishes to the entire team behind this song.”
Actor Balaram J. Balaji stated: “I have harbored a passion for the film industry ever since my college days. My father had also promised to support me in pursuing this dream. However, following his unexpected demise in 2014, I found myself compelled by circumstances to take over and manage our family’s jewelry business. A few years later, the desire to pursue my true passion—to do what I truly loved—resurfaced. With the consent of my family, I began seeking opportunities within the film industry. I started by creating short videos and clips. It was during this period that my friends encouraged and inspired me to carve out a unique identity for myself. My debut song was released in 2025. Subsequently, through a mutual friend, I was introduced to Raja Sir. I explained to Raja Sir that, rather than immediately taking on a lead role as a ‘hero,’ I wished to first establish a distinct identity for myself within the industry and then proceed to do a feature film. He readily agreed to this approach. And that is how Silent Influencer came into existence.” “Ever since childhood—second only to my father—the person I have admired and looked up to as a role model is ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay Sir, our current Chief Minister. My sincere thanks go to Dinesh Master, G.V. Prakash Kumar, Aikki Berry, and the entire team. The song has now been released; I seek the support of all of you,” he said.
