The
audio release of Kanimozhi, Sona’s maiden
production venture with Siva’s Amma Creations,
was held in Anna Arivalayam today (July 22,
2010). The first copy of the audio was released
by the Chief Minister and received by Vijay.
Earlier, the film’s lead Jai brought the
air-bound CD that was attached to a hot air
balloon to the dais and handed it over to the
CM.
The audio release was peppered with political
referential speeches by both CM and Vijay. To
start with, Vijay termed the CM's family as
the celebrated family that stands next only
to the Nehru family when it comes to political
families in India. He went on to sing praises
of the supposedly powerful names in the family,
namely Udhayanidhi, Dayanidhi and Arulnidhi.
Vijay also said that the title Kanimozhi is
also very powerful.
He also narrated an incident as to how a family
that met with an accident was rescued by the
CM’s ambulance service upon dialing 108.
“Whereas the woman among the victims was
praying to God for rescue, a passer-by advised
her to dial 108 and call for an ambulance,”
Vijay mentioned.
The CM, who spoke after Vijay, replied to the
actor’s remark saying that there are some
family-less people who wouldn’t like his
comment.
The movie’s trailer and three songs were
screened. Interestingly, the movie has been
shot in 96 days in 47 rolls, maintaining a strict
regime to stick to the release date of August
6. “It’s something only a big production
company like AVM managed to achieve,”
an insider source said. Sona’s production
banner will be called Unique Productions. Kanimozhi
stars Jai and Shahnaz and will be released on
August 6. |
