Actor Ilavarasu said, “This is the story of a man who is new to Tamil Nadu. I have played a character in the film that drives the story. I have known director Gauthaman for about 25 years. He has made this film very well,” he said.
Director V. Sekar said, “I understand that this film is a joint effort. My ‘Kudi Jithiyaal Kodi Maayas’ and ‘Onna Iruka Kathukkanum’ also emphasized unity. Such unity is the strength of the film ‘Padaiyaanda Maveera’. I wish this film success.”
Lawyer K. Balu said, “When we say that Gauthaman is making a film, it means that it has emotion and life. His ‘Sandhanakkadu’ series was very well received. The very mention of Padayaanda Maveera makes my heart swell with courage. It is a matter of great pride that this is a film about a man who lived as an example of courage. I wish this film a great success,” he said.
Cartoonist Bala said, “There is a lot to say about my brother Gauthaman. He is always an emotional person. I wish his film ‘Padaiyaanda Maveera’, a great filmmaker, a success,”
Director Vasanthapalan said, “Goutham is my good friend. We often talk on the phone. The film ‘Pataiyanda Maveera’ has been a huge success. The film speaks sensitively and emphatically about how actions taken in the name of development affect ordinary people. Gauthaman’s son Tamil Gauthaman has acted brilliantly. He will soon become a big hero,” he said.
Fight training director Stunt Silva said, “Director Gauthaman is a humanitarian and a shoulder to cry on. The fight scenes in the film are very good. His fighting spirit is evident in them. I request everyone’s support to make the film a success,” he said.
Producer Manivannan said, “I saw some scenes of the film and they were great. Especially the tiger song is very uplifting. I am very confident that the film will be a success,” he said.
Producer Sivasakthi Pandian said, “No one who has believed in Tamil, Tamil Nadu and Tamil cinema will be disappointed. Congratulations to all the team of the film. Thambi Gauthaman is a great person and a great creator. He made the TV series ‘Chandanakkadu’ like a movie, ‘Pataiyanda Maveera’ is the pinnacle of grandeur, like the film ‘Pushpa’, this will be a huge success all over India,” he said.
Director Perarasu said, “A Tamilian should not fall asleep listening to good ideas, he should take them to heart. Director Gauthaman is the one who speaks for Tamil and Tamils. I wish his ‘Pataiyanda Maveera’ a success,” he said.
Former MLA Ganeshkumar said, “My brother Gauthaman and I have a long history. When he said that we should make this film, we decided to make it somehow. This film will definitely be a success,” he said.
Justice Kalaiyarasan said, “I congratulate Gauthaman for delivering a great success film. He has made the film based on morality. Many producers have worked hard and come together to make ‘Pataiyanda Maveera’. I pray to God for the success of this film,” he said.
Director and hero of ‘Pataiyanda Maveera’ V. Gauthaman said, “As much as I love this land and its people, I also love my film industry. This is a work that I have directed and acted in. In fact, I think that a creator’s work should speak, not that he should speak. However, I have to talk about this film.
The producers of this film took great care of me and came forward to make this film. They wanted me to achieve more in the film industry. We wanted to give them a story for the people. The result of all this is ‘Badaiyanda Maveera’.
Music composer GV Prakash and poet Vairamuthu have given excellent songs for the film. The song Pulikodi is emotional, and the song Battambuchi sung by GV Prakash and Madhu Sri is beautiful. Sam C. S. has given excellent background music.
Everyone said that the preview of the film and the songs were very thrilling, thank you very much. After watching the entire film, it will cause a stir in your hearts, that is for sure.
Whenever I have raised my voice for so many films and so many issues, those who had not given me any shade in silence, when the film wrongly portrayed Kaduvetti Guru and a community, they gave me a casteist shade as soon as I raised reasonable questions against it. At that time, a media friend who knew what was wrong with Gauthaman’s request said to the director of the film that I had shown him as a rowdy like Dada, and that Gauthaman should make a film about his life like he made ‘Chandanakkadu’. This film was started by accepting that challenge.
This is not a separate caste film, it will be a Tamil caste film. Whoever watches it, regardless of caste or religion, will not only be moved by the stage but also by their souls, they will see a hero of virtue.
My lifelong ambition is to make films about three forests. One is the Chandanakadu where Veerappan lived, and I have fulfilled that. The second is the Munthirikkadu where Kaduvetti Guru and Comrade Tamilarasan lived, and I have now made a film about one of them. The third is the Vannikadu where my Tamil national leader Prabhakaran, who is equal to my mother and mother tongue, lived. As I have completed the two films on my path to ambition, I will definitely make the two remaining films. I will not do this for the upliftment of the Tamil nation, everyone please support me, thank you,” he said.
Seeman, the chief coordinator of the Nam Tamil Party, said, “I have come from abroad to participate in this program because Thambi Gauthaman has invited me with great honor, so I apologize for the delay.
It was my brother, Thiru Kaduvetti Guru, who spoke of the unique and incomparable leader of the Tamils of the world, Mahaveeran Prabhakaran. The fact that the Guru, whom a large community worships as Mahaveeran, called Mahaveeran Prabhakaran shows that we are of the same blood and the same gene. It is the life of such a Kaduvetti Guru that Thambi Gauthaman has taken as a work full of valor and virtue, ‘Pataiyanda Maveera’.
We have already seen Gauthaman’s creativity. ‘Chandanakkadu’ and ‘Mahizchi’ are proof of his talent. His next work, ‘Pataiyanda Maveera’, has come out very well. “This cannot be reduced to just a movie. This film has been made after a lot of hard work and difficulty. I have seen the preview and the songs, they are excellent and make me want to watch the film. I wish ‘Badaiyanda Maveera’ a huge success,” he said.
