Spangled with celebrities, the trailer and official
website of ‘Siruthai’ was launched yesterday
at Sathyam Cinemas. Actor Suriya, filmmakers Gautham
Menon and Lingusamy were the guests of honor as they
embellished the event with some interesting speeches.
Tamannah, Parthiban, Shanmugam, SP Muthuraman, A Jagannathan,
Prabhu Solomon, Subash C Bose, Anbu Chezhian, Vijay,
Rajeevan, cameraman Velraj were the other celebrities
present for the occasion.
The trailer and song launch
The film’s power-packed trailer showcasing different
avatars of Karthi as a funny chiseler and tough cop
turned to be a big treat for Karthi’s fans.
Couple of songs – ‘Naan Nalla Pilla’
(pictured on Karthi and Santhanam) and ‘Vaa
Chellam’ with Karthi and Thamannah were screened
as well. The songs and the trailer received a tremendous
ovation from the audience.
S.P. Muthuraman called back the humble gesture of
Suriya during the felicitation ceremony of lyric writer
Vaali and praised Sivakumar-Lakshmi for having brought
up their sons with good values.
The Showstopper
‘Showstopper’ can be the perfect term
of Parthiban as the special invitees and celebrities
were enthralled watching him in silk shirt and dhoti.
Karthi himself was spellbound over the appearance
of Parthiban as he said, “Even I would come
up with the same costumes.”
Thamannah remained as the cynosure of everyone’s
eyes her cherubic looks in blue sari was stunning.
The brothers
What was interesting to see is the reaction of the
crowd when the names were called. If Suriya got a
loud reception from the crowd, they made the roof
fall down when Karthi’s name was announced.
It made a lot of people wonder and praise the achievements
of Karthi in his short film career to match with his
brother’s.
Director Raja threw light on the world’s most
successful brothers – Lumiere Brothers (Inventors
of Cinema), Wright Brothers (Airplane), Mark Waugh-Steve
Waugh (Cricketers) and added Suriya-Karthi into this
bandwagon. “I’m an ardent admirer of brothers
excelling in various arenas. Certainly Suriya and
Karthi have earnestly contributed a lot to the film
industry, thereby making producers and distributors
happy”, totted up Raja.
Gautham Menon – a man of few words said, “Dhool
is my most favorite commercial flick till date and
now I’m sure Siruthai will replace it now. I
go by the words of Raja as I admire these brothers.
Hope my three children too share a good bonding as
these brothers Suriya-Karthi”.
Gautham to direct Suriya and Karthi
Lingusamy popped up on his instant idea of making
a film together with Suriya, Karthi and Gautham Menon.
Said Lingusamy, “Just now I expressed my wish
of working together with Gautham Menon, Suriya and
Karthi. Well, if everything goes well in future I
would write a script and want Gautham to direct Suriya
and Karthi”.
Music director Vidyasagar remarked producer Gnanavel
Raja’s smart tactics of screening just couple
of songs to heighten the curiosities of audiences.
I’m Siruthai’s PRO: Suriya
Suriya couldn’t stop praising music director
Vidyasagar. “Your songs animate my energy and
keep me away from exhaustion levels during workouts”,
said Suriya. On appraising his brother’s involvement
into this project, he said, “Everyone loves
having pictures of their parents, wife or girlfriend
in their mobiles. But for the past one year, Karthi
has the Ravi Teja’s ‘Vikramakudu’
image as his wallpaper. He has been deeply inhaling
his traits so as to do justice to the two different
roles”.
Commenting on Karthi and director Siva, Suriya said
that he found great difficulty in changing his personality
and body language from being a tough cop in Kaakha
Kaakha to a lungi-wearing jail accused in Pithamagan.
Lauding director Siva’s efforts in extracting
the best out of Karthi in this movie, he said, “I’m
a proud brother to see Karthi do two such intense
roles in Siruthai. I cannot help but tell all my industry
friends about how good the movie would be. I can call
out loud that I’m the PRO of this movie”.
Two IPS officers from same family
Letting his tongue on Tamannah’s success graph,
Suriya uttered that she isn’t successfully out
of charm or luck, but for her hard work. Suriya recollected
the shooting of ‘Ayan’ that had a toilsome
situation for both of them under the heavy rain. Says
Suriya, “Even I started shivering unable to
bear the cold but Tamannah was keen on getting the
shot with perfection”.
Cinematographer Velraj acclaimed that if ‘Singam’
pounced at 8ft, ‘Siruthai’ will swoop
across 16ft and concluded saying that proud to see
both IPS officers (considering the roles of Suriya
in ‘Singam’ and Karthi in ‘Siruthai’)
are hailing from the same family.
