The audio launch of Vaanam happened to be a simple
affair as it didn’t boast of much grandness,
but was spangled with some interesting moments.
Producer Ganesh of VTV Productions was the cynosure
of everyone’s eyes as he easily captured everyone’s
attention with his hilarious compereing. The event
was delayed nearly by an hour as Anushka missed
her flight from Hyderabad. Filmmaker Vetrimaaran
launched the audio of Vaanam and distributed the
copies to all the unit members. A three-minute sleek
and stylish trailer was screened for the special
invitees. The film’s tagline: Five Different
Stories, One Climax evoked the curiosity levels
of the viewers. Producer Ganesh started off ennobling
Vaanam as the ‘South Indian Slumdog Millionaire’
for its unique theme.
Mankatha didn’t disturb Vaanam
Soon after Vaanam was acquired by Cloud Nine Movies,
the entire production team started to vigorously
promote the film. Producer Ganesh elatedly revealed
that despite the busy schedule of Ajith Kumar’s
Mankatha, the production team of Cloud Nine Movies
made it a point of having discussions every day
to promote the movie.
A Torture worst than Bala
Producer Ganesh didn’t miss to break open
Bharath’s verdict on director Krish while
filming a stunt sequence. Says Ganesh: “On
the very first day of the shoot, Bharath was supposed
to run against a Tata Sumo on fast motion and shatter
the front glass clasping a stone. The task was to
be completed on the first take and Bharath accomplished
it but in the process had a bleeding injury. While
we were treating Bharath, we had Krish’s assistant
rushing towards us only to give us a shock that
Krish wants Bharath to spread the blood all over
his shirt for the realistic touch. Bharath was flabbergasted
and said – Even Bala wouldn’t behave
such peculiarly.
Guiltiness accepted
Actor Bharath reaffirmed that it was true that he
was blown out of water hearing Krish being so realistic.
But it’s all for the sake of perfection. Bharath
couldn’t stop singing praises of Yuvan Shankar
Raja. He didn’t miss to mention that Krish
wouldn’t have got a perfect launch than Vaanam.
“They made me feel younger”
Saranya, who plays one of the lead roles, was spotted
in a gleaming saree and pleasant smile. The actress,
while sharing her working experience, said, “I
am the most senior actor in this team that has more
youngsters. But they made me feel younger and we
were exuberant throughout the shoot. Thanks to Krish
for casting me again after the Telugu (Saranya performed
the role in Telugu version as well) version.”
Filmmaking
is very different and easy as well
“Filmmaking is very difficult… Filmmaking
is very easy – both depends on how the team
works,” said Krish, who continued totting
up that he felt very privileged to have such a proficient
team to work with. Well, on speaking about Yuvan
Shankar Raja’s music, he said that every song
in this album has a different soul and will surely
grab everyone’s attention.
Best
than original
Young Superstar Silambarasan made it clear that
the screenplay will be completely different from
the Telugu version. Shedding light on Krish’s
USP, Simbu said, “Soon after watching the
first half of Vedam we desperately wanted to remake
the film in Tamil. Apparently, we invited Krish
for initial level of discussions. We were surprised
to hear him confessing the flaws, he committed in
Vedam. He was so involved in the remake version
and was sure-footed of setting things right with
Vaanam with a motto – Best Than The Original.”
Love
your work, results will be fantastic
A wonderful quotation from Yuvan Shankar Raja and
very inspiring as well… Yuvan Shankar Raja
spoke about the instructions his father (Maestro
Ilayaraja) used to give him – Love the work
you are doing and the outputs are sure to exceed
your very own expectations.
