The film’s audio launch, which is set against the backdrop of the rural heroic game of Vadamanju Virattu, was attended by the film’s crew.
Speaking at the event, producer Rajasekhar said,
” I am new to this industry. The director met me six months ago and told me about the cow before telling the story. We liked it. After that, he explained the story in detail in two or three meetings. After that, we discussed it with my partners. The director brought the story to us exactly as he told it… and brought it to the screen. We were happy to see it. First of all, I would like to thank him for this. All the actors and actresses acted well. Especially Iman’s music was excellent. Everyone gave their full cooperation without any discrimination of being a new production company or a new producer.
I come from a village. We have a lot of connection with cows. I think a cow lives for eighteen years. We all have a connection with cows like tea, coffee, milk, curd. 18 years live and die for us. Even today, he is still present in temples as Nandeeswarar. We consider it a privilege to make a film about cows like this.
Many people take him as their role model when he appears on the silver screen. We are proud that we have said this. We thank God and the people for this,” he said.
Actor Muneekant said, “Thank you to the director for giving me the opportunity. He welcomed us all warmly on the set, unlike a new producer. I wish him to continue producing films. I have been working with Vimal in many films. I have acted in some scenes with Natty in this film.
Usually, when acting in a scene, my fellow actors only compliment me after the scene is completed. Natty encouraged me to improve even while acting in this film. I was proud of this and I express my gratitude to her.
The song ‘Paandi Muni’ featured in this film was a huge ‘vibe’. Thanks to D. Iman for this.
I cannot share anything about the character I played now. The director has given me an important character. What is it? You will know by watching it on screen. That is the character I wanted to act in cinema. All the fans will like it. ” He said.
Speaking, Director Kendran said, ”After I finished writing the story completely, I first told the music director Iman. The moment he listened to the whole thing and said that I would compose the music, I knew that this film would be a hit. I thank Iman for this.
Following him, I told the story of the film to Vimal. After that, I told Natty and he said, “Will you make the film exactly as you told me without changing it..!” When I said that I would definitely do it, he agreed to act with me.
We were looking for many heroines for the film. Once I saw a photo on WhatsApp status. That photo was beautiful. I didn’t think of anything else. Then we looked for her. She was acting in my friend’s film. We got her to act. She also acted wonderfully in the film. She will become a good artist in Tamil cinema in the future. Thank you to all the technicians who worked on the film.
I would also like to thank the bull named ‘Pandy Muni’ who acted with Vimal in this film. If you say ‘action’ while shooting a scene, Pandy Muni will act. You will enjoy the film when you watch it.
After Vimal agreed to work on this film, the work picked up speed. The film was completed so quickly.
If it is, then the hero’s cooperation is important.
I have not spoken about this film. This is a film that must be watched and enjoyed in theaters on March 6. I am sure that all the fans will like this film,” he said.
Actress Sanaska Sri said, “I was acting in the director’s friend’s film. I had a scene in that film on my WhatsApp status. Seeing that, he convinced me that this girl is the right person for this role and made me act. I thank the director for giving me this opportunity.
I also thank Vimal for agreeing to the new heroine. There is always a fear when working with big actors. But when working with Vimal, he keeps making fun of me.
I grew up listening to Iman’s songs when I was young and went to school. I also have a solo song in the film. I thank Iman sir for giving it. After a long time, the heroine is getting a solo song. I thank him once again for acting in it.
We all watched this film this morning. The film is on a whole other level. I am also in the pre-intermission fight scene. I thank the fight rehearsal director for this,” he said.
Music composer D. Imman said, “My congratulations to Masani Pictures producer Rajasekhar. This is his first film. I wish this film a huge success. I am also confident that this company will continue to deliver many more successful films.
We must have met 60, 70 times during the work of this film. Every time he would bring some kind of snack and express his love. Similarly, he has spent without stinginess on all the things required for the film. The director’s biggest asset is producer Rajasekhar. They are like inseparable companions. I hope their friendship will continue beyond the film.
After the director first told me the story of the film, I composed the music. But before that, I told him to choose the actors and actresses. Only then will the shooting of the film begin. So I said to talk to an actor first and decide and come back. I was more than happy to have Vimal sir join this film.
Today’s Gen Z youth really like his ‘single word’. This is a good thing. It will come out that he is speaking what is on his mind. I congratulate Vimal once again for being such a natural person.
All the four songs in this film have been written by lyricist Gnankaravel. After a short gap, I have sung the background music for one song. Thanks to the producer who gave the songs of this film to my DI Sound Factory company.
Natty sir is an asset to our film industry. My congratulations to him too.
This film is a film about our rural sports, Vada Manju Virattu. Editor Shabu has neatly edited the scenes related to it. My congratulations to him.
Light and sound are important in any film. Light and sound are what give a director’s imagination. My congratulations to the cinematographer who is responsible for the light in it.
In today’s environment, the number of songs that give importance to women is low. We have to admit this. In this patriarchal world, giving a full song to women has decreased. It only comes on screen if it is written. We can give such a song only when the director says that we want such a song. We should thank the director for this. He is the one who created such an environment.
This film will be released in theaters on March 6. The producer of the film is a great believer. May the God he worships give him all the blessings.
In my experience, those who love God never fall, no matter how many trials they face. So I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the producer for the success of this film,” he said.
Actor Natty Natraj said, ” I have seen this film. It is very good. My heartfelt congratulations to the director.
Everyone talked about the producer’s hospitality and I liked his faith very much.
I listened to the entire script of the film. It is complicated. It is difficult to visualize it. I asked the producer how did you agree to make this film? In our country, there is a saying ‘Erum Deivam Eruthum Deivam’. In this story, he had put a thing called Vada Manjuvirattu and created good characters around it. I liked that. That is why I agreed to make it.
This is the first film I am working with Vimal.
Thu. Before this, he and I had to work together in the web series ‘Om Kali Jai Kali’. But due to many unavoidable reasons, I did not act in it. Director Kendran gave me the opportunity to act with him in this film. Vimal always has a realism that is a huge strength of this film.
A fight scene is set in the court complex in this film. Vimal has acted wonderfully in it. Heroism should be seen in it and at the same time it should be kept within a certain limit and controlled. He acted well keeping this in mind.
The screenplay of this film is like a shuffled deck of cards. The camera man, editor, fight master, and music director Imman have given life to it.
Deepa- Saravanan Shakthi- Bala Saravanan- have formed an alliance together and acted. Fans will definitely laugh at all the scenes they appear in.
There have been many films that deal with social problems. This film is the story of a village. The mindset of the people around it.. their relationship… This film speaks about this. As the producer mentioned, ‘Erum ekala kadavultan erudhum ekala kadavultan’, this film also speaks about this. I request everyone to go and watch the film with their families to the cinema’, he said.
Actor Vimal said, ”I have seen this film. Iman sir has given life to this film. Wherever Manjuvirattu takes place in Madurai, they play this ‘Pandi Muni’ song. I thank Iman for composing the music for the song to that extent.
I don’t want any mass hero. It is enough to be a hero with a good heart. Because I know what my power is. It is enough for God to keep me at this level. It is enough for the producer who trusts us to make some profit and give it to him.
The heroine’s name is Sanaska. Calling this name is a big task for me. She has acted very naturally in this film.
For me and Bala Saravanan, the biggest task will be with the cow. His name is Pandi Muni. He could not come here today because he was participating in Manjuvirat.
When Natty Nataraj and I were acting in a fight scene in the film.. he gave us a lot of freedom, saying, don’t worry about anything. If you want to hit, hit, if you want to trample, trample. That’s why that scene came out wonderfully. I thank him at this moment.
I would like to share a true incident about the producer.
When Robo Shankar uncle passed away, I was shooting for the film ‘Vadam’ in Courtallam. The shooting was going on at a huge cost. They informed me only on the first night. I told the director gently. I knew that they would not allow me to leave the shooting. However, I told the director that I would ask and fly to Chennai at night, pay my respects to him in the morning, immediately board the plane and come to the shooting by noon.
A thousand supporting actors – people – cowherds – a lot of cows had also come from Sivaganga. The shooting was going on at a cost of about 15 lakh rupees. Are there any other scenes? I asked, they said no. After that, I continued shooting. I told my wife, ‘You go and console me.’
The next evening, he called everyone and paid a silent tribute to Robot Shankar with tears in his eyes and put up a big banner. He donated 500 sarees to the villagers there. He distributed 2000 saplings throughout the area and got it installed. Producer Rajasekhar touched my heart by doing a tribute that I could not pay in person. I express my gratitude for that at this moment.
He has carefully selected and created this story. I wish this company and this film a big success.
Director Kendran told me this story. The story was good. But I had doubts whether he would take it as he said..! This is a commercial film. But it is a commercial film with a story. That too with four or five stories. He would tell everything from the beginning and end it all perfectly in the climax. He had filmed a lot of scenes during the shoot. But I didn’t have any confidence. I was satisfied only after watching the film the day before yesterday. He had perfectly filmed the story he told me. I request the fans to watch this film in the theaters, enjoy it and support it,” he said.
