Grand Launch of the Music and Trailer for the Film ‘Mouna Mozhigal’!
Produced by S.P. Balachandran and P. Sriman under the banner of Sri Vaari Entertainment, and directed by A.C. Soundar, the film ‘Mouna Mozhigal’ features Shakir Mano—son of renowned playback singer Mano—as the lead actor, alongside Archana as the female lead. The film also stars Sriman, Divya, Thalaivasal Vijay, Meera Krishnan, Arjun, Ilavarasu, and Anjali Devi in key roles.
Centered on romance and comedy, ‘Mouna Mozhigal’ has been crafted as a lively, commercial entertainer designed to appeal to today’s youth and audiences of all ages.
The film, which is set to hit theaters on November 27th, held a grand music and trailer launch event today, attended by film industry stars, prominent social figures, and the cast and crew.
The event was graced by several notable personalities, including Member of Parliament Thol. Thirumavalavan, playback singer Mano, R.K. Anbuselvan (President of the Small-Scale Film Producers’ Association), music director Sirpy, Liaquat Ali Khan, singer Gana Bala, and actor Viswanath.
During the event…
Singer Gana Bala remarked:
“Shakir Mano has delivered an excellent performance in ‘Mouna Mozhigal.’ Everyone knows that Mano is a brilliant singer, but his son, Shakir Mano, has also showcased remarkable talent in acting. I have sung two songs for this film.” In particular, the songs and music have been crafted exceptionally well, in a way that will appeal to the youth.
I am not praising Shakir Mano simply because he is the son of Mano; he possesses genuine, individual talent. While a family background in the film industry might open doors, it is talent alone that propels a person to the next level—and in that regard, Shakir Mano is truly talented. I hope he continues to grow by working in good films.
I am confident that this film will be a success. The entire team, including the producer and the director, has worked incredibly hard. My heartfelt wishes go out to Shakir Mano and the entire crew of ‘Mouna Mozhigal.’ I hope this film achieves great success. Thank you.
Music director Sirpi remarked:
The very title, ‘Mouna Mozhigal’ (Languages of Silence), is beautiful. Silence is, in itself, a powerful tool; by choosing to remain silent rather than reacting immediately when faced with a problem, one can avoid many conflicts—and, conversely, achieve many successes. I believe that both the title and the content of this film will resonate with the audience.
Mano is a phenomenal singer who has lent his voice to nearly 40,000 songs. Had he focused more on acting, we might not have been able to enjoy such a vast body of his musical work. He is a true blessing bestowed upon us by the Divine. His son, Shakir Mano, previously delivered a strong performance in the film ‘Pattakathi.’ In this film, too, he has showcased his versatility—from dancing to the songs, to portraying complex emotions and executing action sequences. I pray that he evolves into an outstanding leading man.
Everyone involved—from the producers who invested in this project to the actors and technical crew who worked on it—is eagerly awaiting the film’s success. Audiences will only come to the cinema if a film’s story and content are compelling. In that regard, I am confident that the film ‘Mouna Mozhigal’ will be a success. I would like to express my happiness and gratitude to ‘Ezhuchi Thamizhar’ (Leader of the Awakening Tamils) Thol. Thirumavalavan for attending this event and extending his well-wishes to the film crew. My best wishes to the entire team. Thank you.
Renowned playback singer Mano spoke as follows:
I extend my evening greetings and best wishes to Thol. Thirumavalavan, our friends from the ‘Siruthai’ (Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi) movement, Gana Bala, producer Balachandran, and the entire film crew present here. I also offer my congratulations to all the technicians, actors, the manager, the cinematographer, and everyone else who worked on this film.
The team has likely spent many months working hard, fueled by great aspirations and dreams. I am well aware of the immense effort that goes into making a film. Therefore, I urge our friends in the media to extend their support to this team; your support will help this film reach the public. I sincerely hope this movie achieves great success. My best wishes to everyone. May God bless you all. Thank you.
R.K. Anbuselvan, an executive of the Producers’ Council, spoke as follows:
I express my heartfelt gratitude to Member of Parliament Thol. Thirumavalavan for attending this event. Despite his extremely busy political schedule, he took the time to be here—a gesture that serves as a tremendous source of support for the film crew. Likewise, the director…It is commendable that director A.C. Soundar has organized this event, bringing everyone together as if it were a family gathering. This approach is the hallmark of a truly good director.
In 1989, Kalaignar Karunanidhi introduced a government subsidy scheme for small-scale films in Tamil Nadu. However, this subsidy has not been provided consistently every year. Currently, it is granted to only 28 films annually. Given that hundreds of small-scale films are produced each year in the present climate, I would like to put forward a request—conveyed through Thol. Thirumavalavan—to Chief Minister Vijay, urging the government to extend this subsidy to at least 100 films per year. Regardless of whether a film succeeds in theaters, a government grant of seven lakh rupees would serve as a significant source of support for the family of a small-scale producer. The government must continue to provide assistance to safeguard these small-scale producers and their families.
Director A.C. Soundar completed this film three years ago, and the producers have navigated numerous challenges to bring it to release. I have also listened to the songs from the film; they have turned out very well. Beyond the act of creating a film, support is also essential to ensure it reaches the audience. Producers should remain honest and avoid deceiving anyone in the process of filmmaking. In the film industry, no one can truly suppress another’s efforts; conversely, no one can achieve lasting success through deceit. It is vital to support small-scale films and protect the families of those who produce them. In this regard, leaders like Thirumavalavan should continue to extend their support to small-scale cinema. I wish the film ‘Mouna Mozhigal’ great success. Thank you.
Music Director Nala Ilanthiraiyan spoke as follows:
The primary reason this event has turned out so wonderfully is director A.C. Soundar… It is all thanks to Soundar’s understanding and support. He could have easily released the film without holding an event like this. However, since my friend Soundararajan and I have been working alongside him for many years, he went to great lengths to organize this event so magnificently—all with the intention of helping us reach a better position in our careers. I offer him my heartfelt thanks.
Likewise, despite his many other commitments and challenges, my friend Soundararajan would come to our home every single morning to work on the music. In fact, the entire process of composing the songs took place right at our home. We spent over ten consecutive days working on the music; I am truly grateful for his hard work and dedication. I also extend my sincere thanks and best wishes to everyone who graced this event—singer Mano, Sidhu, actor Shakir Mano, Gana Bala, Arjun, and ‘Eluchi Thamizhan’ (Leader of the Awakening Tamils) Thol. Thirumavalavan.
Director A.C. Soundar spoke as follows:
“I feel a bit hesitant to speak in the presence of such eminent personalities. The primary reason I am standing on this stage today is my producer. He placed his trust in me and gave me the opportunity to make this film. It is a medium-budget project, and our sincere hope is that it garners significant attention and discussion. The support of our friends in the media is crucial for this.
To ensure this event was a grand success, we wanted to invite prominent figures like Mano sir and ‘Eluchi Thamizhan’ Thol. Thirumavalavan. I would also like to express my gratitude to Gana Bala, who assisted with the promotional efforts without any expectations, music director Sirpi, and R.K. Anbuselvan, who has consistently encouraged us.” Likewise, I would like to thank Mr. Vijay for setting aside his time to support us. The producer and his son, Sriman, provided immense support and encouragement for this film. My thanks go to all the actors—including Arjun—as well as the entire technical crew.
We have all worked extremely hard on this project. Efforts to release this film have been ongoing for the past three years. I, therefore, request the media and the fans to extend their support and ensure the film’s success by watching it in theaters. Moving forward, I am also directing a film titled ‘Idhayathil Kadhal’. I express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who attended today’s event and made it a special occasion. Thank you.
‘Ezhuchi Tamizhar’ (Leader of the Awakening Tamils) Thol. Thirumavalavan spoke as follows:
First, I would like to commend director A.C. Soundar for choosing the beautiful Tamil title, ‘Mouna Mozhigal’ (Silent Languages). On behalf of the ‘Tamil Protection Movement’ (Tamil Paathukaappu Iyakkam), we have long advocated and campaigned for films to be given Tamil titles; in that regard, ‘Mouna Mozhigal’ is a truly poetic choice. It is heartening to see Shakir Mano—son of the renowned singer Mano—making his debut as a lead actor in a film produced with a modest budget. In an environment where it is challenging to compete against big-budget productions, the efforts of individuals like Balachandran, Sriman, and Velumani in bringing this film to life are highly commendable.
In today’s world of cinema, which is often viewed merely as entertainment…
Cinema is not merely an industry; it possesses the power to exert a profound influence on social change and the political landscape. In Tamil Nadu, in particular, there has long been a deep-rooted connection between cinema and politics. Films such as Ratha Kanneer and Thanneer Thanneer transcended mere commerce to leave a significant impact on society. It is heartening to see today’s young directors crafting films infused with progressive thought. There is a need for more works that champion social equality, women’s agency, and democratic values, while rejecting notions of caste pride, the subjugation of women, and blind superstitions.
The interplay between cinema and politics in Tamil Nadu is long-standing, with the influence of the film industry often reflected in the political arena. It is in this context that the actor Vijay has now assumed office as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu—a development that, regardless of any criticism, stands as an indelible event in the political history of the state.
Love is an emotion intrinsically woven into the fabric of human existence; it cannot be neatly categorized as ‘good’ or ‘bad.’ From the era of Sangam literature to contemporary cinema, love has remained a recurring theme—one that will undoubtedly continue to be explored from myriad perspectives in thousands of films to come. Furthermore, cinema should not be viewed solely as a profit-driven business; it ought to serve as a platform that contributes to social progress and transformation. Young filmmakers should approach their craft with this understanding and commitment. In this spirit, I wish the film Mouna Mozhigal great success and the overwhelming support of the Tamil audience.
Additionally, R.K. Anbuselvan has raised a call to protect producers of low-budget films. I shall endeavor to bring his proposal—that the government provide subsidies for at least 100 small-scale films annually—to the attention of the authorities. It is the responsibility of people like us to protect and encourage small-scale investors. New directors and producers must receive the necessary support to continue creating films. I extend my best wishes to the entire team of ‘Mouna Mozhigal’ (Silent Languages). Thank you.
A.C. Soundar has written the story, screenplay, dialogues, and lyrics for this film, in addition to serving as its director. Nala Ilanthiraiyan has composed the music, M.G. Roy has handled the cinematography, and Sethu Ramana has managed the film editing. Don Bala oversaw the art direction, Om Prakash directed the stunts, and Vijay Murugan handled the design work. Saran is in charge of public relations, and P. Velumani has served as the co-producer.
‘Mouna Mozhigal’ is set to release in theaters worldwide on November 27th.
