Pugaippadam’s audio launch
and trailer release function was
held at the Satyam Cinemas today.
While audio and trailer was released
by Bhagyaraj, director Mahendran
was the one to receive it.
The film is about a group of friends
which will take us down in our memory
lane. Pugaippadam’s director
Rajesh Lingam, an erstwhile assistant
to Selvaraghavan said that the film
will have an impact on the audiences’
lives.
Bhagyaraj recounted one of his experiences
while addressing the gathering.
He said that after the astounding
success of Mouna Geethangal and
Suvarilladha Chithirangal, he approached
AVM Productions to produce his next
venture. The producers were keen
on roping in Ilayaraja to score
the music but Bhagyaraj preferred
Gangai Amaran, as his two earlier
ventures proved to be a hit. On
the producers’ insistence
Gangai Amaran decided to quit from
the film but when Bhagyaraj finally
approached Ilayaraja he refused
to work in the film as he was not
the first choice. The actor-director
recounted that this experience of
egoism still remains fresh in his
mind.
Aayirathil Oruvan’s producer
Raveendran was also present at the
function. He recalled that both
Rajesh Lingam and Manikandan would
visit the sets of AO every now and
then. Comparing all the producers
to ships, Raveendran said that every
producer is keen on the developments
of another producer. He ended the
speech that he would fervently pray
to God that all the ships should
reach the shore safely. |
