Seenipaati who played the role of Pechi says, “Hello everyone, I am 90 years old. I struggled to climb Yercaud hill and acted. Everyone worked hard with me. I will act in the second part too. We will continue to receive your best wishes, thank you all.” He said.
Bhanu Priya, who played the role of Balasaravanan’s wife, said, “Thank you to the Veylon team and the director for casting me in Pechi. If there is a second part I request to be in it, thank you.” He said.
Rajarajan from Veroos said, “Thanks to the journalists, as my friends said, it was the journalists who brought the content to the people in a big way, and it was because of them that this success was achieved. This is our first film and thanks to everyone, including Dream Warriors Kugan, who worked with us on distribution. Our PRO Dharma has been doing a great job coordinating the programs and he should continue to do this, thank you.” He said.
Actor Balasaravanan said, “Suffice it to say, what we expected while waiting for the release of Pechi is that the film is decent. But today we have a bigger success than we expected and it is because of the press. Thank you Sethu for bringing the film to the masses through your writings and reviews and to the people who went to the theaters and watched the film through your reviews. We went to many theaters and what we didn’t expect was house grass everywhere. Even the night scenes were theatrical. Family by family watched the movie, children and adults all watched the movie, this is because of your clear review, thank you very much for that.
Also, personally, I have to thank the media, they all praised my performance in this film by mentioning the role of Mari. Not only this film, but in all the films that I am acting in, they have written and praised me, and for that I am thankful at this time.
Thanks to director Ramachandran for giving me the role of Mari. Gokul and Vijay are all friends. I am blessed to have them as my friends. Director Arun Kumar is the reason why these people became my friends, thanks to him too. The film is successfully running past the tenth day. Thanks to Veroos for their support. Dream Warriors is also one of the reasons why Bachi is a huge hit today, thanks to SR Prabhu sir and Gugan.” He said.
The film’s producer Gokul Binay said, “This event is being held as a success and thanksgiving ceremony for Pachi. The success of the film was confirmed during the special screening of Pachi, which was screened on 1st August. We allocated a small budget for the promotion of this film. But beyond that, thanks to the journalists who did it without any expectations when the film would only reach the masses and be successful. Thanks to Veroos for their support when the background work started after the shoot was over. Thanks to Sinipati who played Bachi, I’m just watching her now. We expected the film to release in a lot of theaters when it released. But, Dream Warriors Gugan sir, this is the way to go for this film and that assessment was very correct. They took us step by step keeping in mind that there should be no loss to the producer, thanks to them. Thanks to Suresh and Dharma who worked as PRO for the film. They are asking for the second part of Bachi, we are going to do another film with Veroos, it is all because of you, thank you all.” He said.

To celebrate the success, the film crew met the press today (Aug.9) at Prasad Label in Chennai.
Cinematographer Parthiban speaking on the show said, “It is a pleasure to meet you again through the speech victory ceremony and thanksgiving ceremony. While the film industry itself is in a volatile environment today, a short film called Bachi is successfully running beyond 10 days. On the first day we were allotted 18 screens and on the second day we were allotted 75 screens in Chennai alone. Today we are retaining 75 percent theaters after 10 days. Pachi movie is loved by everyone from kids to adults. The reason for this is the press and the media. This film has reached people because of your support and I thank you for that.
I studied at a film college and joined Ratnavelu as an assistant. I thought I could easily make a film then, but the opportunity did not come easily to me and I have stood at this place after many struggles. Thanks to Producer Gokul, N Gurunathar Ratnavelu for giving me the opportunity to stand on this spot. Thanks to all the technicians including the colorist who supported me. Today people are appreciating my cinematography and it is because of them, I thank everyone at this moment.” He said.
Editor Ignatius Ashwin said, “Thank you to the press and media for bringing Pechi to the masses. Bachi was praised and praised for being technically the best film. Thanks to the technicians who worked on this. Thanks to Veroos Productions Mujib sir and Sanjay sir for bringing this film to people in the right way. Thanks to producer Gokul and director Ramachandran for giving me this opportunity.” He said.
Actor Nathu Rajadurai said, “First of all, thank you to my father and mother, and thank you to the universe. Thanks to Parthiban, Ram Anna, Gokul, Vijay. I didn’t know that I was an important character when I acted in it, I only got to know it after the completion of the film. Thank you very much for this opportunity. This film is also a proof that people and journalists will appreciate quality films and take them to the next level. Thank you all.” He said.
Sanjay Jaishankar from Veroos said, “The real hero press is as far as Bechi is concerned. Even though the film was one sided, it was the journalists’ writing that brought people to the theaters, a big thank you to the journalists on behalf of Waylon and Verus. My father often used to say that whatever we play, it is the journalists who bring it to the people, and only if they write, people will come to the theatre. As he said, the first reason for the success of Bachi film today is the press. My father is watching from above, I’m sure he will be happy. Our first film has become such a big hit. Thanks to Suri and Alice for bringing us this film. Thanks also to our team including Mujib, Rajarajan who told us after watching this film. Thanks to director Ramachandran who has directed this film very well and the technicians who have done it well even though the shooting took place in difficult locations. Big thanks to Dream Warriors Kugan for proper distribution of the film.” He said.
Mujib from Veroos said, “Thank you for coming to this event. We met you ten days ago at the special screening of Bachi. It is because of your writing that people celebrate the film. What I have understood about journalism and media in this short period of time is that if the content is good, if the picture is big or small, journalists do a good job of giving recognition to it and bringing it to the people. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Waylon and Verus and all the technicians for their hard work.” He said.
[8/10, 13:51] venkat- Venki – PRO: Dream Warriors Pictures Head of Distribution Gugan said, “Pachi was released on the occasion of New Moon, Friendship Day. It is safe to say that Bachi has taken her place. All the friends make a film together relying only on talent. When the film is finished and released, there are also friends who release the film, they are Veroos. Thanks to Veylon team including Gokul Binay and Mujib, Sanjay, Rajarajan from Veroos. The lifeblood of Tamil cinema is the success of small films. Cinema is alive when films like Pachy prove it. After the completion of the film, business people will be involved. That kind of thing
[8/10, 15:09] R. S. Prakash: In , Bachi was a huge commercial success. Beyond Tamil Nadu, it has received a good reception in Karnataka. Business for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana has been negotiated. Likewise, all business including Hindi rights has gone well. As Mujib sir said, it’s not just a small film, it’s a big film, but the extent to which it is imprinted in the minds of the fans is important. In that sense, thanks to the friends of the press, it is the reason that the film has become a big picture in the minds of the fans. Also thanks to the director Ramachandran sir, cinematographer Parthiban, cinematographer Ashwin. Actors and actresses including Balasaravanan, Gayathri, Dev are giving tremendous support to the promotional work of the film, I would like to express my gratitude to them at this moment. I hope this success of Bachi will continue. After the first part of Bachi, people are expecting the second part. Let me tell you that we are also looking forward to the second part of Pachi along with this team.” He said.
Director B. Ramachandran said, “We met you two weeks ago and now it is a pleasure to meet you again. The success of Bachi and the thanksgiving ceremony is very important for me as a debut director. Even though everything including the special press screening was for the promotion of the film, for me the press screening was the most important moment for me. After posting the picture I was standing nervously, because you are the first judge, you are going to see all the pictures and tell me how it is. In that way, I got confidence only after watching my film and patting him saying, “Well done brother”. It is because of you that the film became such a big hit, so first thanks to you.
As a debutant director, no matter how big an idea I write a story, the biggest thing is to make it into a movie. A producer who has produced many films and knows the film business can decide that this film will do well and produce it. But I must appreciate the courage of Gokul Pinay, who has become a friend, trusted me and traveled with me as a producer, and my second thanks to him. Then thanks to my technicians, who understood what I was going to say and how my thinking was and cooperated with me. Actors and actresses also gave me great support in the film. Thanks to Balasaravanan and Gayatri who did whatever I told them without showing any difficulty despite shooting in difficult locations. Seenipati, who played the role of Bachi, traveled to the mountains even at this age, thanks a lot to him. Today fans are asking where is Bachi Patti.
Many years ago I made a short film titled Bachi, after watching that film Balumakendra sir appreciated me and took me with him and taught me about cinema. I thank him at this time. Also, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my family who supported me when I quit my banking job and came to cinema, and my friends who have always stood by me.” He said.
Jena, who played an important role in the film, said, “Thank you to the media for taking a small film called Bechi to a big place. Thanks to director Ramachandran sir and Gokul Binay for giving me this opportunity. This is my first skier’s presence. I didn’t expect such a great response, thank you all for making this an opportunity.” He said.
Actor Dev said, “Two weeks ago there was a show at the same place. The reason for that is Gokul, Ramachandran sir, founder of Veroos. But the press, media and people are responsible for what happened today. They say it’s a victory party meeting, but it’s more of a thanksgiving than a victory party, so thank you very much. As Ramachandran sir said, we shot a lot of special scenes. But we did not get any confidence in what they said. But a day before the film’s release, we screened a special trailer for the press and it was only after the appreciation you got for the trailer that we felt confident. The film is running successfully for ten days and we request your cooperation to continue this success. Thanks to the PRO team including Dharma who are doing the promotion work of the film very well, they are working well with us by giving new ideas. Everyone as Dream Warriors Gugan has been a huge support to this small group, thank you all.” He said.
