Director and actor K. S. Ravikumar said, “I am happy to meet you all on Friends Day after a long time. I have seen Simran in ‘Natbukka’. Happy to act in this movie. Fun shooting experience. Strict director. When director Thiagarajan comes to the set, Prasanth, even though he is a son, calms down. He has reverence in his heart. No one is afraid of the director these days. The scenes with Yogi Babu-Urvasi were great. I hope that the look of director Thiagaran will continue after the release of the film I pray to God that everyone will be reunited in the film’s success. I would like to express my gratitude to all those who worked in the film. I wish this film to be a huge success with the support of the fans.
Choreographer Kala said, “Happy Friends Day. The friendship with Thiagarajan spanned nearly 30 years. The songs are very good in this movie. The art director has designed the stages very nicely. We completed the dance sequences for the song in eight hours. Music composer Santhosh Narayanan has given the songs to Sudachadu. That means shooting at four o’clock.. the songs will reach us at two o’clock. All the songs are good and the movie is also good.
Let’s talk about Top Star Prasad… He knows how to play the piano so he used to sing the songs on the set and also play the song on the piano. It was a different experience.
Cinematographer Ravi Yadav… I met and worked with him while working as a dance assistant. He is also a talented artist.
Thiagarajan is a very talented director. This movie will confirm that. Beautiful story.
Simran – the princess. Prashant – Always the top star. This film will be a success if everyone is making it together,” he said.
Actress Vanitha Vijayakumar said, “Happy Friends Day to all. I have talked a lot about the film ‘Andagan’. I have expressed my thoughts about the film. It is not enough though. Because I felt a lot of love in this film and on the sets. Both Thiagarajan and Prasanth showed great love to all the actors and technicians who acted in this film.
As the tagline of the recently aired hit English serial ‘Everybody Loves Prashant…’ there is no one who doesn’t love Prashant.
I have been watching Simran for many years. They are still beautiful, young and vibrant.
‘Andagan’ is a blockbuster hit of this year. I am also looking forward to watching this movie in theaters with fans. The film will hit theaters on August 9. I request everyone to visit the theater and enjoy and support it,” he said.
Actress Priya Anand said, “Everyone who has visited here is only talking about director Thiagarajan. But there are two people in their house. Mother of Preeti and Prashant. They are the reason these two are like this.
We traveled to Trichy, Madurai, Salem, Coimbatore for three days to promote the film. It was very happy.
See you at the gala where this movie will definitely be a hit. The movie is visually spectacular. For this, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone including cinematographer Ravi and director Thiagarajan,” he said.
Actress Simran said, “Anthagan
The story and screenplay of the film is good. Directed by Thiagarajan, this film has come out well. I thank him for giving me this opportunity.
This is my seventh film with Prasad. Waiting for another blockbuster hit.
Everyone should go and watch the movie ‘Andagan’ on August 9th,” he said.
Actor Samuthirakani said, “Thank God. Happy Friends Day to all Tamil natives around the world. This is a very happy event.
Friend Sasi was reminded by friend Prashant at many places. Once Sasikumar wore a watch on his hand. I kept staring at it. After the shoot was over in the evening, he called ‘Va’ and took him to a watch shop. There he said to me, ‘Didn’t you see my watch?! So buy your favorite watch’ he said. I told him frankly, ‘I like that watch. That’s why I kept staring at it.’ Immediately he said, ‘Well, tie it yourself. Choose something new for me” he said. Similarly, friend Prashant wore a pair of glasses. Take that glass and it’s good..! I said. Three glasses came looking for me that evening. He said, “Choose whatever you like.” Then he said to Prashant that his friend Sasitan has done similar things to me. After that I said I have got you as such a friend. What am I going to do for your grandson?
I will always think of Prasanth. Then suddenly without any reason he would call me and talk to me. There is deep love in it. There is no reason in that talk. There is only love. Nowadays, if someone calls, we are used to talking about something.
But are you okay with calling for no reason? Are you chaps? what are you doing That has decreased in love. But I get a call like this from Prashant. I have realized this.
I must have done something somewhere. He would call me after seeing it and appreciate it. That’s what made me fond of him.
This movie is very special for me. What is the starting point.. I was asked to play the same character in the Telugu remake of this movie, I refused. While remaking it in Tamil, they contacted me through Thambi Kishore.
Seeing Thiagarajan scares me. For example, when I was working as an operator in a theater, I ran the movie ‘Malaiyur Mampatiyaan’. Whenever I see ‘Komberi Mookan’ on the screen, I get nervous.
As soon as he said hello on the phone, I replied that I will come to the shoot. But it was only when I met him in person on the set that I felt his love
His looks, personality… after watching it made me think that we too should be like this in this age. For his love, this movie should be a huge hit.
Vanitha Vijayakumar came to the shooting site and cursed me like no one had ever cursed me before during the shooting. In that scene he kept cursing me. I see the director. He came to me and explained that he was cursing despite what I said.
After that when Vanitha saw Vijayakumar… he pointed to Thyagarajan saying that the director scolded you like this.
I have seen Simran while working as Assistant Director. Acting with him in this film was truly an unforgettable experience.
Congratulations to all the actors in this film. I wish Prashant more triple growth after this film. I pray to God that this film will be a huge success,” he said.
Director Thiagarajan said, “The important reason for meeting everyone today is Friends Day. Happy Friends Day to everyone around the world.
All the actors, actresses and technicians who acted in this film were friends. If shooting is at nine o’clock, everyone will be on the set at nine o’clock. The shooting experience will be enjoyable. We will wrap up the shoot earlier than planned.
Samudhirakani… who reminds me of that period. Be it looks, be it body language, be it physique, be it style, be it gait… If you say action, acting is lion. In this film he is intimidating and especially Simran. Vanitha is threatening Vijayakumar.
He called Vanitha for emotion in that particular scene and said, ‘Keda you know
Scolding with words’ I said. At that moment he spoke all the unspeakable words. Vanitha Vijayakumar will get significant recognition in this film. Also get recognition as a wonderful actress.
Priya Anand – Beautiful Tamil Girl. He told me that it was not used in Tamil cinema. But all he spoke here was in English. That’s why I say. Speak English in any event you attend. Only then will you know as a Tamil woman.
I was confused as to who to choose for the role in this film. I chose Priya Anand, who was in constant contact with me then, who would be perfect for the role.
He looks good in the preview too. He is dancing. He has also given excellent performance. He will also get big recognition with this film. You will also get the opportunity to continue acting in Tamil films.
Simran has acted in six films with Prasanth before. After buying the rights of this film I thought why not cast Simran in this film. When I spoke to him on the phone about this, I had seen the Hindi film. So he said that I will act. In this film, he has given an experienced performance in every scene.
In this film, he has acted in a slightly emotional tone. He asked why he had to act like this on the set. Then I said that the way this character is played will be good. Accepting it, he acted aggressively. His speech and violence will be like a command. Simran will get an award after the release of the film. Simran will get better name and fame than anyone who has acted in this film.
Prashant – Piano player. The main reason to buy this movie is because the hero of the story is a pianist. I bought the rights of this movie and started to think carefully about who would be the right actors for each character. After that we started working on the film. In between there was a corona infection.
Two years went by. Then there were some unexpected complications. After that we completed the film. After that we planned to make a song with Prabhudeva. Prabhu Deva choreographed the Chandi Master to create scenes for it. The song was sung by Anirudh-Vijay Sethupathi and released by Vijay. This song is currently trending on the internet. Many people are dancing and uploading Prashant’s dance in this song.
While traveling to promote this film, one of Prashant’s fans unexpectedly met with an accident and died. This made Prashant sad. Immediately, he thought that why not create awareness about wearing a helmet while traveling in a vehicle throughout Tamil Nadu. Also, on the occasion of Nulthula Prashanth’s birthday, he distributed 5000 head coverings to his fans across Tamil Nadu.
K. S. Ravikumar has played an excellent role. In this film, he will play a villainous character.
Every portion of this film has a suspense. Then comes another suspense. What is going through all this? what happened? Is this true? Is it a lie? Many questions will arise in the fans.
I myself have seen that Hindi movie three times. A similar feeling comes to fans watching Tamil movies. So repeat audience will come to the theater for this movie.
Besant Ravi-Prasanth starrer I would like him to be there. He also played a small role in this movie.
Urvashi- has acted in many films including ‘Komberi Mookan’ with me. He has also acted in the film ‘Mannawa’ produced by me and starring Prashant. I told you that you should play this character in this movie. As soon as told, he came and acted. He, Yogi Babu, K.S. All the scenes where Ravikumar and Prasanth appear together will be great. It will also be interesting.
Late actor Manobala, Jayam Gopi, Vijender, Bhoovaiyar, Leela Samson and many others have acted.
The movie ‘Andagan’ is getting good response. This is what excites me. Theater owners are eager to release this movie in theatres. A healthy dialogue is going on between them in this regard. So far we have decided to screen ‘Andagan’ in four hundred theatres. In addition to this theater owners are willing to publish. I think this is a healthy approach.
I would like to express my gratitude to all those who worked on this film,” he said.
Actor Prashanth said, “Happy Friends Day to all.
‘Andhagan’ is a great work. There are many stars in this movie. The leading star actors of the film industry have acted in this movie. An unforgettable experience with everyone.
Sir Kani Sir cannot be forgotten in this. I will call him sir. I have personally met him and Sasikumar when they were in the office and have been following both since that moment.
Kani Aiyya’s name was also included in the director’s list when the selection of the actors for this film was going on. After that the director spoke to Kani sir. He also agreed and visited the shoot. He is a fine professional actor.
When he agreed to act in this film, he said, ‘Give me three weeks’ time. I am currently acting in a role and after completing it, I will act in your film.’ After that he became the character. I looked at him in amazement as if he was such a devoted actor
One thing I always mention in every interview is that I learn something with every shoot and I keep learning. In that way I learned a lot of professionalism towards acting from Samuthirakani Aiya
Me, Simran, Priya and Besant Ravi were traveling together to promote this film. Then a voice rang on my phone. He asked me where are you. I said we are in this town. Why are you traveling alone and I am joining you? The owner of the voice said Samuthirakani. . I express my sincere appreciation to him at this moment. I am thankful for his support and love for us.
Simran and I have worked together in six films so far. She is the most amazing co-star I got in the film industry. My best friend. Amazing dancer. Working with him in this film was a different experience. My character and his character will have a lot of contrasts. You will know it when you see it on screen.
All the characters played in this film will be loved by the fans. This is the highlight of this film. The actors who have played each character have performed well. Fans will get a good experience when they watch it in theaters.
Priya Anand- The talented co-star keeps everyone excited on the sets. He will spread happiness throughout the set.
Vanitha Vijayakumar- Like a sister born to me. Always excited. He has been giving a lot of advice on how to promote this film. I feel lucky that he acted in this film.
Beyond the actors, cinematographer Ravi Yadav, art director Senthil Raghavan… both are always quiet on the sets but their actions speak volumes.
The experience of acting with Yogi Babu, Mohan Vaidya, Urvashi and many others is unforgettable
I met a wonderful man in this film. He is my inspiration. He is the one who holds the entire film up. He is Karthik. I also thank him at this moment. There was a lot of difference between hearing about him and interacting with him on the sets. His presence on the sets is so exciting. I am learning a lot from him.
I am extremely lucky. The best friend I got on this friends day is my father Thiagarajan. The best man. I would like to thank the producer Shanthi Thiagarajan and my younger sister Preethi Thiagarajan.
‘Andhagan’ will hit the theaters on August 9th. This movie will give a new experience to the fans, I request everyone to come and make it a success,” he said.
