The film ‘Diesel’ is being produced and presented by Third Eye Entertainment & SP Cinemas and stars Harish Kalyan and Athulya Ravi in the lead roles. The press meet of the film, which will be released on October 17th, was held.
Cinematographer Richard said, “This is a film that was signed after the film ‘Katta Kusthi’. It has been many days since the film was completed and released. My first film ‘Angaditheru’ and ‘Mathagajaraja’ were hit films that were released after waiting for many years even after the shooting was completed. Therefore, I am confident that the film I worked on will be a hit even though the release is delayed. Thanks to the entire team”.
Editor San Lokesh said, “‘Diesel’ will be a good and important film for this Diwali. This film will clearly talk about the politics behind the increase in the price of a commodity. Thank you to the producer and director for giving me the opportunity! The entire crew has done a great job. I wish the film a huge commercial success.”
Art director Ranvan said, “The field of this film was very new to us. Setting up the right set in the backdrop of Diesel was also a challenge. I hope everyone has done it right. I wish the film a success.”
Actor Thangadurai, “‘Diesel’ is a very important film in my career. They have given me a good character. There are so many actors that I wonder if we are going to shoot every day or go to the Nadigar Sangam meeting. They made the film like a festival.
The film itself was a fun experience. Director Shanmugam has worked without sleeping for many days. After the films ‘Parking’ and ‘Lappar Bandhu’, ‘Diesel’ will also be a huge success for Harish Kalyan. Athulya has also acted well. I wish the film a hit, just like the songs of the film”.
Actor Premkumar, “There are all kinds of features in ‘Diesel’. Director Shanmugam has shed light on the mafia behind Diesel in this film very accurately. Harish Kalyan has now found the right time in the film industry. Athulya, Vinay and everyone else have acted well in the film. I wish everyone that ‘Diesel’ will be a Diwali success”.
Actor George, “I am happy to have worked on this good film. I thank the director and producer for giving me the opportunity. Harish Kalyan has a big place in Tamil cinema. You people should watch the film on Diwali and give your opinions”.
Actor Mathew, “The entire crew worked with great fun. No matter how much delay there is, no matter how much the budget increases, the film should come out as he wanted. You will understand that when you watch the film. ‘Diesel’ Diwali greetings to everyone”.
Actor Ramesh, “When I saw producer Deva sir, I first thought he was an assistant director. He is such a simple man. Director Shanmugam, Harish Kalyan and everyone have put in hard work for this film. I wish the film success”.
Actor Rishi Rithvik, “Thank you to director Shanmugam for giving me a good role in this film. Shanmugam should achieve great success in cinema. Congratulations to all the producers, Harish Kalyan, Vinay sir, Athulya ma’am”.
Actor Deena, “I could see that there was a competition between the producer and director of the film ‘Diesel’ to give a good film. I am happy that we acted in Shanmugam sir’s dream film. As a small screen actor, they gave me the freedom I needed in this film. Everyone has acted well. The work of the technical team would have been even better when seen on the big screen. Tell me after watching the film”.
Actor Vivek Prasanna said, “I know how important this film is to all of them, including the producers, director Shanmugam, and hero Harish Kalyan, and how it gave them mental struggle and interest. This film was waiting for the right moment. This film has accurately shown how the political environment has exploited the wealth of many generations and made them victims without them knowing it. This will be a film that speaks about politics related to energy and an awareness-raising film. It is because Harish Kalyan has focused on whether he fits in with the right story, not just as a hero, from the beginning of his career. Harish Kalyan will definitely join the list of heroes who can invest 11 crore rupees after the film ‘Diesel’. Thank you to Atulya, Vinay, Richard sir, and everyone who worked with him”.
Actor Vinay said, “I am grateful to both producer Deva and director Shanmugam for giving me the opportunity. My character will be different. The film has come out well. I thought it would be easy when I first came to cinema. But my guru Jeeva made me understand that I was wrong. Harish Kalyan has put in a lot of hard work for this film. Thibu has given beautiful music. Richard’s cinematography is a great strength for the story. Everyone has contributed a lot. Congratulations to ‘Diesel’ for a huge success this Diwali”.
Music composer Thibu Ninan Thomas, “‘Diesel’ was a good experience for me. I knew director Shanmugam from the film ‘Kana’ so it was easy to work with him. ‘Pacha Kuthikittu…’ is my first Gaana song. This film is also very special for me. This is a film with a common man connect. ‘Diesel’ Diwali greetings to Harish Kalyan, Athulya and the entire crew”.
Actress Athulya, “‘Diesel’ is very special for me. Everyone, including me, was emotionally connected with this film. This film will definitely bring success to producer Deva sir. We have all worked as a family. Thank you Shanmugam sir for giving me the opportunity. Thank you also to music composer Thibu for giving me the biggest hit song I can ever imagine in my career. I will always support Harish at the shooting spot. Traveling with Vinay, Prem Anna, Thangadurai was an unforgettable experience. It was a pleasure to act with such a big cast. Celebrate your Diwali with the film ‘Diesel'”.
Director Shanmugam Muthusamy, “Thank you to the actors Harish Kalyan, Athulya Ravi, Vinay, Premkumar, Thangadurai and my team who worked tirelessly from the beginning of the film ‘Diesel’ to its release. Special thanks to actor Silambarasan for singing the opening song. Thank you to producer Devarajulu Markandeya sir for taking good care of us during this time. I watched a lot of romantic films and family subjects. While I was thinking of writing a new story, one day, children were stealing buckets of petrol and diesel from a tanker truck parked at a petrol pump. It was only when I followed them that I came to know about this shocking world. ‘Diesel’ was born with the idea of making a film about this. When we tried to find out more about the things behind this, we were threatened with death. In this, we have told how directly a common man is affected by this mafia. There are many secrets in this film ‘Diesel’. Producer Thevarajulu sir has poured money for this film like oil pouring from a tanker truck. You should make big films that collect Rs. 100 crores in a row like ‘Baahubali’ and ‘Kaththi’. Watch the film ‘Diesel’ for Diwali and tell me”.
Actor Harish Kalyan, “I thank director Shanmugam sir for believing in me and giving me a chance in this film. I have a great passion for action films. But I waited until the right story came for it. “Diesel” was such a story for me. This story tells what goes on behind the scenes of the world of fuel, which is considered more valuable than gold. I was curious to know how people would accept this film. When the trailer of the film was released, no one criticized us much. That gave us great confidence. Many people who saw the trailer praised me for bringing the right meter for an action film in my acting. Everyone should definitely know if there is such a mafia behind these things like petrol and diesel, which play an important role in the lives of ordinary people. There is no doubt that this will be a film for the people. I want this film to win because of the producer and director who truly love cinema. We have been shooting for this film in the sea for more than 30 days. Thank you to all the fishermen who helped us during this time. Atulya also understood the situation and acted. Thank you to all the technical team who worked day and night on the film. My aim is to give a good film. I am very happy that my film is coming for Diwali. We need your support and love for our efforts,” he said.
