Press Meet for the Movie ‘Irumudi Kattu’!
‘Mass Maharaja’ Ravi Teja has starred in the emotionally charged film ‘Irumudi’—directed by Shiva Nirvana—which centers on themes of family, faith, and personal transformation. Produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar of Mythri Movie Makers and presented by T-Series Films, ‘Irumudi Kattu’ was released in theaters worldwide on August 21st. A press meet for the film was held today.
Producer Ravi Shankar said, “Director Shiva pitched this story to us with three distinct layers: a thriller element, a family drama, and a spiritual aspect. We were initially surprised at how this could be achieved, but Shiva executed it brilliantly in the film. The cast—including ‘Mass Maharaja’ Ravi Teja and actress Priya Bhavani Shankar—and the technical crew have all done an excellent job. South Indian audiences will surely enjoy this ‘cult classic’ in theaters. It feels as though Lord Ayyappa himself chose this film for Shiva Nirvana to make. Please watch the movie and share your thoughts.”
Dialogue writer Vijay Balaji said, “I have previously worked on two films with Mythri Movie Makers. This story revolves around three fathers. Music director GV Prakash is a major asset to this film. ‘Mass Maharaja’ has arrived in Chennai on ‘Madras Day.’ Everyone will certainly love the movie.”
Lyricist Balaji Venugopal said, “Writing a song for a Ravi Teja film is something I never even dreamed of. I am confident that fans will celebrate this film even more than a typical Tamil movie. I am happy about Priya Bhavani Shankar’s success. I was deeply moved by the film’s climax. The three songs I wrote for this movie are integral to the story. Everyone will surely love the film.” Cinematographer Vishnu Sharma said, “It is a matter of pride to have worked on a Ravi Teja sir film. Director Shiva sir has crafted the story beautifully. This will certainly be a fresh kind of story for Tamil audiences as well.”
Child artist Nakshatra said, “This film is very special to me. I thank Director Shiva sir for choosing me, ‘Mass Maharaja’ Ravi Teja sir, Priya Bhavani, and the entire film crew.”
Actress Priya Bhavani Shankar said, “I felt immense confidence when I heard the story. With G.V. Prakash coming on board as the music composer, it was certain that the songs would be huge hits. Despite it being a film starring a massive hero, Director Shiva executed the story exactly as narrated, without making any changes during filming. I am proud to be a part of this movie. Working with Ravi Teja sir was an unforgettable experience. Tamil audiences certainly won’t view this as a film from another language; language is no barrier! This film will resonate wherever there is a father-daughter bond.”
Director Shiva Nirvana said, “I have always had an emotional connection with Tamil cinema. I particularly love the films of Bharathiraja sir and Bhagyaraj sir. When audiences leave the theater, they should take something meaningful away from the film; that is the kind of movie I aim to direct. In that sense, Tamil cinema has given me a lot. ‘Irumudi Kattu’ will be a film that families can enjoy together. After watching it, the impact will surely make you think about your own daughter or wife. The film was a super hit in Telugu, with families flocking to watch it. I hope Tamil audiences will also come with their families to watch it. I thank the producers for their support. Priya’s character in the film will certainly leave a strong impact. You will see Ravi Teja sir in a completely new light in this movie. Tamil audiences will definitely love it.” Music composer GV Prakash said, “The story is crucial when composing music for a film. When I heard the scripts for Polladhavan and Raja Rani, I felt they would definitely be blockbusters; similarly, when I heard the story of Irumudi Kattu, I felt it would certainly succeed. Many heroes here are fans of Ravi Teja. Just as Rajini had a unique charisma in the movie Baashha, Ravi Teja possesses a distinct style in commercial films. Many directors are his fans as well. From now on, director Siva will also garner a dedicated fan base. This film was a massive hit in Telugu. I expect child artist Nakshatra to win several awards for this movie. You can certainly watch it in theaters with your family. The technical team has also done an excellent job. Thank you.”
Actor Ravi Teja said, “My thanks to the entire technical team of this film. GV Prakash Kumar’s music is the soul of the movie. It was a huge hit in Telugu. Nakshatra has a bright future ahead. Priya has also performed exceptionally well. I am grateful for the producers’ support. I like director Siva; I will reveal the reason why at the film’s success meet. Please watch the movie and share your thoughts.”
