The film is produced by Jyothi Siva under Darshan Films. ‘Nizhalkudai’. Siva Arumugam has written the story and screenplay and directed it, having worked as an assistant to director K.S. Adhiman.
Devayani plays the lead role in this film, which has Vijith as the hero and Kanmani as the heroine, and two children, Ilavarasu, Rajkapur Manojkumar Vadivukkarasi, Neelima Isai, Niharika, Ahana, and a newcomer named Darshan Siva, who is making his debut in a threatening role.
Blockbuster Productions has acquired the theatrical release rights for Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. Nizhalkudai will be released worldwide on May 9th..
Following this, the music only trailer launch of the film ‘Nizhalkudai’ was held last night at the Saligramam Prasad Label in Chennai. Director K. Bhagyaraj, Naam Tamil Party Coordinator Seeman, Director Perarasu, Producer D. Siva, Pepsi Chairman Director RK Selvamani, actresses Vanitha Vijayakumar, Namitha, Producer Mathiyazhagan and many 
others participated as special guests at this event.
Speaking at this event, Director Siva Arumugam said, “I have emphasized the necessary idea in this film in a way that people from six to sixty years of age can like. I am the producer of this film. Everyone knows how much struggle it is to make a small film in this era. In such a situation, the actors and technicians who acted in this film were the ones who gave me the greatest cooperation and support.”
Hero Vijith said, “Last year, the film White Rose, in which I acted, was released. Following that, I received a call from the office asking for more K/S Actress Kanmani said, “Before acting in this film, I had acted in small screen. However, when I came to act in this film, they treated me properly and well, just like a big actress would be treated. This is my first stage. I hope you will give me the same love and support that you have given me in these four years since I came to the small screen on the silver screen. Even though the film is a small film, we all have put in a lot of hard work for it. It will be a good feel-good film.”
Actor Raj Kapoor said, “Nowadays, everyone is roaming around with guns in their hands, but this is a film that emphasizes the family aspect like it was in the eighties. It tells the story of a couple who go abroad to find a job. I hope this film will give everyone a lesson on whether they should go abroad to work and how parents should raise their children.”Actor Ravi Maria said, “I have nothing to do with this film. The director of this film insisted that I attend this event. Before that, they screened a special version of this film. I was not able to watch it. But everyone who saw it said that you missed out on this film by not watching it, it is a great feel-good film. I realized that when I heard the story of the film.”
Actress Vanitha Vijayakumar said, “I am a huge fan of Devayani. If everyone likes Devayani, I really like the bubbly Devayani who played the role of Kadhal Kotta Devayani in the film Kolli Vaasal. She is a very simple and kind-hearted person. She can be called the Devasena of the film world today. As Vijay said, it is not a miracle for a female heroine to be a heroine at the age of 20. But to be a heroine at the age of 40 is a big deal. She will also get a place like Manorama Aachi and Urvashi. In the current environment, it must be said that a film with a female lead role and getting a theatrical release is an achievement. I do not agree with the statement that it is a small film, but it can be called a good film.”
Actor Nakul said, “I hope that this film will definitely be a meaningful film because of the collaboration of directors K.S. Adhiaman and Siva Arumugam. The song Kanmani is touching. There are some things to learn from watching this film. K.S. Adhiaman is one of our family. It is because of him that we came to cinema. We have become Tamilians. So this is like a family show for us, I have been watching my sister’s hard work since I was a child. Even though my mother is no more, I see my mother in the form of my sister. This story will also relate to my sister a little.”
Producer Mathiyazhagan said, “Hero Vijith called me and asked me to watch this film. Not only a hero and heroine, but actress Devayani has played a role that lifts this film. This film will definitely make an impact. I thank the blockbuster company that came forward to release this film. Rather than saying that it is a small film or a big film based on budget, I would say that a film that runs, a big film, a film that does not run is a small film.”
Director Rajakumaran said, “This Nizhalkudai will be a film that everyone will like, a good film that everyone will watch. It is rare to see good films. Devayani acting again with the same team that introduced her 30 years ago and seeing them sitting here as one team again is magic. In our long journey, so many shadows have accompanied our journey. Even in times of no shadow, so many good souls have come as an umbrella. I hope this Nizhalkudai will be something that everyone will look back on.”
Actress Namitha said, “The story told in this film is a reality that can happen in the country right now. At this time, I want to thank my mother-in-law and the nannies who are at my house. The work of a nanny is now well-respected and well-paid. She is the mother in the absence of a mother. This film has been shown with some thrilling elements. Those who watch the film will relate to it in many ways.”Producer D. Siva said, “I was moved after watching this film. The situation of small films today is very bad. Director Siva Arumugam should be praised for producing and directing this film with a good concept that is needed by this society. Through this film, actor Vijith has been given a wonderful actor by Tamil cinema. Beyond all this, Devayani, who is a treasure of Tamil cinema and another actor, has lived this character in this film. It has come easily to her because it is her natural quality. This film will bring her many awards.”
Speaking, Director Perarasu said, “Among actresses, if there is a universal actress, it is actress Devayani. She has many faces, including actress, social worker, teacher, producer, and now director. She will soon become a member of the Directors Association. She has acted in 100 films. She has a husband at home. However, beyond all that, she has studied a direction course and directed a short film. This shadow box is a very necessary film for these times. Raising a child is different. Raising a child is different. Just having a child is not enough. You have to raise it. That is what this shadow box says. The time parents spend with their children is limited. Love and cherish them. Only if you raise the child properly will its life be good tomorrow.”
Actress Devayani said, “This is my family festival. I would like to thank director K.S. Adhimanur who introduced me to this stage 30 years ago. Although the film Kadhal Kottai gave me a turning point in the film world, it was director K.S. Adhiman who introduced me to the film world for the first time and brought me to this Tamil Nadu. I have never expressed my gratitude to him openly anywhere. This is the first stage to thank him. After 30 years, I have worked with his team again, which has not changed. What a blessing it is. I have received it. They have given me a chance in such a wonderful film again. It can be said that a small film is a better film than a big film. This is a film with a beautiful concept, which is relevant today, and is necessary for parents. I thank the Blockbuster distribution company that is releasing this film. I request you to give this film a lot of theaters and wait a little patiently and cooperate without removing the film until it is picked up. Previously, every film was picked up and running even a week after its release,” he said.
Producer Suresh Kamatchi said, “This is a family event for me too. Director K.S. Adhiaman is my hometown. I am currently producing the film he is directing. Half of the film work is completed. Whether it was the preview screening of this film or this event, I could see actress Devayani welcoming and treating everyone as if it were her own speciality. Today’s heroines are hesitant to come to the promotion of the film they have acted in. It is not in our hands to drive the film without lifting it in the theaters until it is picked up. If we want that, we have to time travel and go to 90. Today, it is in the hands of the theater owners. If one scene does not run well, they change the film to the next scene,” he said.
Pepsi Chairman and Director R.K. Selvamani said, “I have not seen this film yet. But when I saw the song, it was a joy to the eyes. For that, I must congratulate the cinematographer first. When I saw the actor Vijay, it was like seeing Karthigai. He will be a good hero in Tamil cinema. He should always be humble like this.
We say that a good film should come. If you let a good film run, another good film will come next. They have given a film with a necessary theme for the society. Only if you let this run will others come forward to make a good film. In the current environment, theaters have become mini restaurants. It seems that the canteen business is bigger for them than the ticket fee. That is why there is an environment today where we have to make films of this kind.In a situation where they cannot set the price of their production, two people in Tamil Nadu, one is a farmer and the other is a film producer, both are in a place where the people of Tamil Nadu live, think and laugh. But the situation of both of them is very bad. Only if all the producers come together and become a force, they can set the price for their product themselves.
Roja and I got married, Khushboo and Sundarsi got married, it was all sensational news, but Devayani’s marriage was shocking news for everyone else. Devayani’s life after your marriage is a lesson not only for those in the film industry but also for women in Tamil Nadu. That culture has been beautifully portrayed in this film. Just as an umbrella is good for the scorching sun, similarly this film Nizhalkudai will be good for this Tamil cinema, which is drying up in the scorching sun. Brother Seeman was black. He was red. Now he is pure without any color. It should always be like this,” he said.
Director Bhagyaraj said, “Our mother made me proud by giving me this name. But is that the real name of director Rajakumaran? No, rather than keeping it after entering the cinema, when he got Devayani, he became the real Rajakumaran. As far as cinema is concerned, only some people wonder how they keep getting films. Similarly, when you look at some people, you wonder why they don’t get films at all. Director K.S. Adhiyaman is the one who is in the second list. Just as it is said that even if you are one kilo of intelligence, you should stand with your hands tied to a 10 gram lucky person, in cinema, luck sometimes does not favor talented people. Shadow. As per the title of the film, the film’s director Siva Arumugam, KS Adhiyaman and the film crew are the shadow. Similarly, this film needs a shadow,” he said.
Seeman, the coordinator of the Nam Tamil Party, said, “This is like our family event. Devayani, who welcomed me when I arrived, said thank you for coming. But I said thank you for acting in this film. The reason is that Devayani has been choosing good films and characters according to the saying that if she acts like K.R. Vijaya before and Revathi later, it will be a good film. She has given good films in every period to register her name. She has never spoiled her name by accepting all the films just because the money is coming. That reputation is the reason why she is acting as a heroine even after 30 years. Don’t let everyone get this opportunity. I still feel guilty that the producer did not give D. Siva a good hit film. I was going to make a film called Pagalavan for him after Thambi. But Madhavan refused to act in it. The reason was the difficulties he faced in Thambi but only after that I made the film Vatsadthavas for him. But the film did not go well. I will tell you at this point, someday I will make up for the loss he caused.. There are very few directors like K.S. Adhiaman these days. It was Bhagyaraj who wrote the story of removing the thalai and throwing it away and getting married to another person in a revolutionary marriage.. The reason for this is our Bhagyaraj who wrote a story saying that the same thalai will not be removed, that is the culture and made it a successful film. Such is the intensity of his writing.If you want to make a family-friendly film with simple characters and achieve success, only he can do it. Like K.S. Gopalakrishnan, Pakiyaraj is a milestone in our film world. We are proud that he is also with us. It is clear that the cinematographer of this film, Gurudev, has shot the scenes wonderfully. It is a challenge to compose music for a film that conveys such soft emotions rather than composing music for fast-paced action films. It is especially difficult to touch the mind with soft music as if it is standing in the mind. Music composer Naren Balakumar has done it beautifully.
It is a pride that a female lyricist has written a song after a long time. A big film is not the same as a small film. A running film, a non-running film is that much. A film called Court, made for six crores in Telugu, has collected 60 crores. This Nizhalkudai film will definitely win. Theaters should give importance to this film. But the environment for that is not there now. But the environment for that will come soon. A law will come that small films should be given priority in big and big complexes. We, who have spent many nights hungry and loved this cinema, will not let it die so easily. As Selvamani said, we will create a time when both the farmer and the producer will decide the price of their production.
Siva Arumugam No matter how many years have passed, he has not left cinema, no matter what happens. His son has also acted in a role in this film. Starting is easy for everyone. But we have to keep fighting to maintain it. That is why we should appreciate him.
Having watched Rajinikanth from afar, I got the opportunity to see him in person. We talked for two and a half hours. Even after acting in so many films and achieving so much. When we see his interest in learning something new, we wonder why he will not win. When he said, “Wait a minute” while talking to me and walked inside, he had the same speed that we see in the cinema in real life. Even lazy people get excited when they see him running. Everyone who has this quest and passion can reach the top and achieve.
A child’s first teacher is their mother. This film talks about motherhood. No matter how high you reach, the only person who is not jealous of you is your mother. Our Devayani has the ability to carry this motherly role. She is enough to bring people from the film Nizhalkudai to the opening scene of the cinema,” he said.
