| Audio
release of the Pandiraj directed Vamsam
was held today in Sathyam cinemas, Chennai.
Vamsam serves as the launch pad of Arulnidhi,
the latest Gen Y entrant to Tamil cinema
from the Kalaignar family. The event
saw an impressive turn out of VVIPs
from the State and Central Ministries
and celebrities from the K town. CM
Karunanidhi chaired the event and released
the first audio to Suriya and Vijay.
Interestingly, Suriya and Vijay shared
the dais with the CM thus unwittingly
replacing the age old custom of the
two kingpins of Tamil cinema Rajinikanth
and Kamalhassan sharing the podium
with him in film events. The kingpins
both were not present at the event.
Suriya, who addressed the gathering,
mentioned that he sees potential in
Arulnidhi. “After seeing the
songs and the trailer, I’m assured
that Arulnidhi has what it takes to
be a hero,” he said. Suriya
also praised the CM on his abilities
at his ripe age to pen screenplays.
Vijay’s address was peppered
with his admiration for the CM. “We
are proud to be born in your times.
I’m always amazed at your prolific
writing career,” he stated.
Referring to Suriya and Vijay, the
CM expressed his wish that Arulnidhi
would earn laurels like both the actors.
“I was apprehensive about the
title at first thinking that it might
mislead people. They might think it
refers to our family. However, director
Pandiraj convinced that this title
is required for the movie and he went
ahead with that. Now I think the movie
should prove itself,” he mentioned.
Pandiraj recollected his post-Pasanga
days and revealed that he was pretty
much jobless then. “It’s
just that my social stature has changed
after the release of Pasanga. That
is when I met Udayanidhi and he got
me introduced to Arulnidhi. I thought
Arulnidhi would not fit for the role
I had in mind but he proved otherwise.
He wanted to do the film and the result
of his hard work is for all to see,”
Pandiraj said. He added that the movie
will be adored by everyone like Pasanga.
The audio launch was attended by
Music director Taj Noor, Arul Nidhi,
Sunaina, Lyricist Vaali, Sasi Kumar,
Producer's Council president Rama
Narayanan.
Two songs and the movie’s trailer
were screened at the event. The songs
scored by Taj Noor are praiseworthy.
The trailer is sure to rouse curiosity
among movie buffs and the songs were
neatly picturized as well. |
