The Liars of Tamil cinema!

If you thought Kreedom has sent director Vijay into hibernation, you are gravely mistaken. For he has just furtively finished his ‘Poi Solla Porom’ with Nasser, Karthik, Nedumudi Venu, Preethi, and a few debutants, and even rolled out its music album today. Hotel Green Park played host to the event this morning and saw an attendance of a horde of glitterati from Tamil cinema.

True to the movie’s title, the invitation listed many lies ranging from silly ones like ‘the movie was shot in just 11 days’ to ‘A Hollywood Superstar is acting in this Movie’ without any postscripts leaving a few poor souls to take it for true. Popular Malayalam singer M G Sreekumar scored for the movie and a first copy of the album was released by Nasser to Editor Mohan.

Addressing the gathering, Nasser mentioned that Vijay’s movie would be taken as the benchmark for comedy movies in Tamil cinema after its release. “It’s a tremendous achievement by Vijay and he has pulled off the arduous task of directing a comedy movie with much ease,” he added.

Priyadarshan, in his address, noted that he is proud to have Vijay as his disciple. He also mentioned that he is in awe of Vijay’s talents. Vijay, in turn, acknowledged his Guru’s blessings gratefully and added that he is indebted to him. He further stated that debutant Preeti has done a tremendous job for the movie, more that what he expected of her.

Rajesh has dubbed for Nedumudi Venu in the movie and he noted that Vijay was quite demanding. “I consider my dubbing experience with Kamal and Ameer challenging, however, I’ve already added Vijay to the list,” he declared.

Poi Solla Porom is a joint venture produced by Priyadarshan’s Four Frames and UTV Motion Pictures.
