The shooting of the film “Thirukural” started on Tamil Puthandu Day
Ramana Communications Film Company has already produced and released Karmaveerar Kamaraj’s biopic titled “Kamaraj”. The film received a special award from the Tamil Nadu government and is a document of Kamaraj history. Apart from this, it also produced a film based on the life of Mahatma Gandhi called “Welcome Back Gandhi” which was well received by the people.
Dr. Ko. Viswanathan Vender VIT President Ramana Communications along with T.P.Rajendran to present Tamiliyakam is currently making the world’s best charity book Thirukkurlai into a movie.
The shooting of this film started with a puja on Tamil New Year day.
Although Valluvan gave himself to the world, the voice of Bharathi, the famous Tamil Nadu, is not excessive, but only after GU Pope translated Thirukkurala into English, the Western intellectual world recognized the superiority of Tamil, Tamil culture and Tamil people.
Mahatma, the father of the nation, and Thiruvallu, the composer of Tirukkulla, are today known as the faces of India in the world arena and among scholars. Thirukkural was introduced to Gandhiji only after the famous Russian writer ‘Tolstoy’ mentioned it in a letter.
“There is no glory in those who tell tales in secret among us.
If it is good learning, it should be worshiped by foreigners.”
We decided to make Thirukkural as a movie based on Bharati’s lines.
Tirukkural is the most translated book in the world after the Bible. Print media is only for the literate. Because visual media can reach all the people of the world without any barriers
This is also one of the reasons for making Thirukkural as a movie.
Thirukkural conveys Himalayan concepts easily in two languages. But it was realized while writing the screenplay that it is not so easy to contain the inner light of Thirukkural, its vitality within a three-hour film.
Kural is not just propaganda literature, although it is a book of justice that appeared to emphasize virtue. A wonderful work of poetry and aesthetics. We try to reflect this in screen language as well.
Along with Tiruvalluvar, we are going to record Tamil Nadu two thousand years ago in this film. The film depicts various small kingdoms like Moovarashodu, Venadu, Poozhinadu, Pujnadu, Aruvanadu, Valluvanadu and the heroic battle scenes between the Tamil scholars. The film is going to talk about the culture, industry and business life of the Tamils of those days.
Along with all the data like philosophy, ethics, politics, economics and sociology of that day, five Nila Mantras of Sangam era are featured in this film.
‘Kamaraj’, Chief Minister Mahatma, we who have produced films, this work is a first for us!
We are planning to screen the film worldwide with subtitles in all the languages in which Tirukkural has been translated.
AJ Balakrishnan is directing the screenplay for the film Kamaraj, written by Chembur.K.Jayaraj has written the screenplay for the film.
