It
was Kalaignar M Karunanidhi, the Chief Minister
of Tamil Nadu, who directed the first scene
of Ilaignan, the film that has lyricist Pa.
Vijay playing the lead role. Soon after the
first take, the CM congratulated Pa. Vijay for
delivering the dialogues that he had penned
with perfection and emotion. Ilaignan, which
is based in the 1940s, is about the struggle
of a young mine worker crushed by capitalism.
Kushboo plays the mother of Pa Vijay in this
film.
The makers of Ilaignan put an end to all
rumors by declaring that this film has nothing
to do with the earlier-announced Thai Kaviyam.
Earlier today (April 28, 2010), the film’s
customary pooja, to mark its beginning, was
conducted. |
