As if to signal that he’s
had enough of the media’s
guessing game about Aayirathil Oruvan,
Selvaraghavan convened a press meet
today with members of the cast at
the Accord Metropolitan, Chennai
this morning. Flanked by Parthiban,
Karthi, G V Prakash and Andrea,
Selva formally announced the audio
release and the release date of
his much-anticipated movie. Aayirathil
Oruvan’s audio will be released
in a grand event in Chennai on June
14th while the movie itself will
be released in the month of July.
Selva started with a modest note
stating that the movie ‘does
not have anything untold before’
further going on to say that ‘he
learnt a lot while making this movie’.
‘I always had a penchant for
Hollywood movies and used to be
awestruck at them. So when I attempted
to reach their movie making finesse,
I found how difficult it was,”
he noted. “I found it’s
not an easy task when I had to give
command to some 2000 odd people
who have different dialogues and
facial expressions in one single
shot,” he revealed. He also
opined that we have a long way to
go before reaching finesse of Hollywood
movies.
According to Selva, he has tried
a unique genre with this fantasy
movie. Shot in 250 days, the movie
will feature 2 hours of graphics
which are made to blend with the
movie’s progress. On a lighter
note, Selva stated that he had literally
tortured people asking them to extend
their call sheets as he couldn’t
complete the movie on schedule owing
to the extensive periodical research
that went into the making. Selva
has also penned songs for the movie,
as is customary to his other movies,
and quipped that it’s only
G V Prakash who made the entire
world know that piece of information.
On a poser as to why he roped in
G V Prakash dumping his mascot Yuvan,
Selva stated that Yuvan was getting
way too predictable for him. “Besides,
G V Prakash is available round the
clock and I like that aspect.”
he mentioned.
Although he plays a significant
role in the movie as a King, Parthiban
hasn’t had the opportunity
to view the movie yet. “While
the entire movie goes at a fast-forward
pace, my scenes appear in real time
and hence while mixing I could only
see my portions,” Parthiban
said.
G V Prakash spoke about the hard
work that went into the making of
music for Aayirathil Oruvan. “The
instruments we used in this movie
are rare and unique and I worked
hard for about a year and a half
to create music.” Prakash
noted. He also revealed that veteran
singer P B Srinivas has sung for
the movie. The album will have 10
songs.
For the audio release event, Prakash
will sing 2 songs. That apart various
dance and music forms including
Shingaari Melam, rope dance, snake
dance and Kalari Payattu are planned
for the event. Actor Poorna’s
classical dance choreographed by
Sivashankar and the Makossa dance
from Nigeria will also be a part
of the program.
Karthi plays a laborer in the movie
while Andrea and Reema are part
of an archeological team.
