Produced by Azure Films and Rise East Entertainment, the preview of the film ‘Love Marriage’, directed by Shanmuga Priyan and starring Vikram Prabhu and Sushmita Bhatt, was held in Chennai. Director Adhik Ravichandran attended the event as a special guest along with the film crew.
Speaking at the event, actor-director Muruganantham said, ”It was like juniors directing seniors on the set of this film. But the way they handled the artists on the set was good. The set was lively like a family. Every time you act in a film, you get a different experience. When you start acting in this film and reach the end, you feel like, wow! The shooting of the film has ended so quickly? It made you feel nostalgic. This is the first success that director Shanmuga Priyan got. To that extent, he warmly embraced the entire film crew.
Actor Vikram Prabhu showed great care and love for his fellow artists on the set. Sushmita, who played the heroine in this film, was a real heroine not only in the film but also on the set. Congratulations to her too.
When I started working on the film, I didn’t know who the director was. At that time, if I told him something like “I have a headache, my body hurts” on the set, he would immediately name a name and tell me to buy that pill and take it. Only then did I find out that he was a doctor. He can become a director no matter what job he does. But if he has become a director from a doctor… first of all, he should thank his parents.
He said that everyone should come to the film Love Marriage like the crowd that comes to an arranged marriage and make it a success.
Speaking, producer Dr. Swetha Sri said, “Everyone’s first child is special. They say it is a blessing from God. In that sense, our first film under Azure Films is Love Marriage. With the grace of the Lord I worship, the film will be released in theaters on June 27th. Thanks to actor Dhanush, who is releasing the preview of the film today.
I liked the story of the film when director Shanmuga Priyan told it for the first time. We decided that this should be our first film. He has directed this story very skillfully. He has made the film so that all the fans can enjoy it happily with their families. This film is a romantic comedy film full of entertainment features.
The entire shooting of this film took place in Gopichettipalayam. The film has been created with beauty without changing the smell of that soil. The positivity of the actors who played in the film has also found its place in the film.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the actors and actresses who acted in this film, including Vikram Prabhu, Sathyaraj, Sushmita Bhatt, Aruldas, Ramesh Thilak, music composer Shawn Roldan and the technicians. I would also like to thank producer Srinidhi Sagar of Rise East Entertainment who worked with us for this film, Sony Music who released the music of this film, Shakti Velan of Shakti Film Factory who is releasing the film in theaters across Tamil Nadu, producer Yuvaraj Ganesan who has fully cooperated with us from the beginning in the production, and director Adhik Ravichandran who came as a special guest.
‘Love Marriage’ is a fun film. I request everyone to go to the theaters on June 27th to watch it, celebrate and support it,” he said.
Speaking, actress Sushmita Bhatt said, “I consider it a blessing from God to have gotten the opportunity to act in this film. I would like to express my gratitude to the producer and director who were the reason for this. I am making my debut in Tamil through this film.
I consider it a privilege to work with experienced youngsters in this film. Now they have all become my family. If I have to say about Vikram Prabhu sir, he is talented. He is friendly.
Everyone worked with their full dedication on this film. I congratulate and thank everyone for this,” he said.
Speaking, Director Adhik Ravichandran said, “I see the trailer of Love Marriage as an echo of the 90s kids. I could easily relate to the preview of this film. After listening to the song sung by Mysskin in the film, I said that this song will be a hit.
I believe that the first thing to spread positivity for a film is the title of the film. In that sense, Love Marriage is a word that everyone has naturally heard and seen.
Some of our friends and relatives have fallen in love or are in love. Love can go all the way to marriage. Therefore, this film will be a huge success in the title. I also extend my congratulations to the director for this.
I am a fan of the music composer of this film, Shawn Roldan. I have been following him for a long time. The sounds in his music are different and enjoyable. That sound has captivated the younger generation. My best wishes to him too.
Vikram Prabhu is a hard-working actor. He has acted as the boy next door in this film. That is why this film will be a huge success. I request him to act as a villain too. He has been acting in many films as an experiment. I pray to God that this film, in which he has acted naturally, will be a huge success,” he said.
Lyricist Mohan Rajan said, ”It was producer Yuvaraj Ganesan who introduced the team to this film. Whenever director Shanmuga Priyan meets music director Shaun Roldan, Shaun Roldan gets excited. He loves the director to that extent. Whenever the director calls him ‘Anna’ on the phone, I have felt the emotion of that word.
The song sung by Mysskin in this film was the first one we created. That song was created during a very critical period. That means we had to complete this song in one day. But we completed that song in an hour. I would also like to thank Mysskin for this.
A groom’s invitation song is very rare in the Tamil wedding culture. To overcome that deficiency, there is a groom’s invitation song in this film. After the song was completed, director Shanmugapriyan contacted me and said that he wanted some words to be repeated somewhere in this song. After that, after adding four new lines, the quality of the song was very high.
I have written three songs in this film. It was only after working with Shawn Roldan that I received the Ananda Vikatan Award for Best Lyricist. For this, I would like to thank him at this moment,” he said.
Music composer Shawn Roldan said, ” The most important reason for me to work in this film is the producer Yuvaraj Ganesan. For this, I first thank him.
After the director met me and narrated the story, he showed me a visual palette (visual language images) about the story. After seeing it, I decided to work in this film.
I am a 90s kid. So when we go to the cinema, we go to see a Tamil film. Currently, we watch pan-Indian films, we watch South Indian films. If you ask me, will other films give us the satisfaction of watching a Tamil film like ‘Tourist Family’? I don’t know. Foreign language films are also successful here. But there is a certain identity for Tamils. That identity was there when I heard the story of this film. Director Shanmuga Priyan is passionate about music. Now he has become a very close friend of mine. He has more than ten years of experience in the film industry.
New producers Dr. Swetha and Dr. Dheeraj have produced this film out of their love for cinema. I came to know that when I met them. They not only have passion but also business knowledge about cinema.
Vikram Prabhu is one of the most honest people I have met in cinema. He is a decent person. I have seen his films. I have worked with him. But I think working with him in this film will be a great start. I also had the idea of giving good songs in his film. That is possible in this film. The songs in this film will be a hit album.
Mysskin is a complete artist. He has sung a song in this film. I thank him for this too.
I am the thread. Mohan Raja’s lyrics are the flowers woven in that thread. Thus, he is the flower in the garland. What it would be like to work with him is like sitting in front of a warm fire in a nice cool environment. He has skillfully instilled many Tamil words and Tamil philosophies in today’s young generation through songs in Tamil cinema. He has also written beautiful lines about love in this film.
Everyone can go to the cinema hall with their families and enjoy this film. This film will be a great film. I have no doubt that it will be a film that will satisfy everyone,” he said.
Distributor Sakthi Velan said, “A few days ago, a cinema owner from Kallakurichi area contacted me and said that if a special screening of the film ‘Love Marriage’ is held, please inform me immediately and I am eager to watch the film with my family members. This surprised me. Usually, if films are screened in advance, the cinema owners are not interested in watching it. Because they have to screen four to five films a week, there is a workload for that.
He is also a close friend of director A R Murugadoss. When the two of them were talking, when there was a discussion about good films that will be released soon, A R Murugadoss had told him that Love Marriage would definitely be a very good film.
Getting recognition before a film is released is… especially when A R Murugadoss, who is known as a talented director all over India, praises it as a great film.
Vikram Prabhu, the heir to our mother’s house, has given a fitting performance for this character. All the fans of 90s kids will easily relate to this film.
The film is made with the traditional grammar of marriage related matters for Tamil cinema. It is being prepared as a wonderful – beautiful feel good family entertainer.
Producer Yuvaraj Ganesan, who has no commercial connection with this film, is continuously working hard for the success of the film. This gives me great surprise.
To that extent, director Shanmuga Priyan has created a strong circle of friends in the film industry. I see this as his success.
I also congratulate the producers Swetha Sri – Dheeraj, who are making their debut as producers through this film due to their passion for cinema despite being doctors. If this film is successful, many new producers like them will come to the film industry. The fans will also get good works. ” He said.
Director Shanmuga Priyan said, “Thank you to director Adhik Ravichandran for coming as a special guest. I really like the energy in his films. I think it will take me a few more years to direct films like his.
Thank you to my director Ra. Karthik, who was the reason for starting the work on this film. I tried to join the film industry as an assistant director in 2017. At that time, producer Yuvaraj and I made a short film together. Since then, my friendship with him continues. I have worked with directors Anand Shankar and Ra. Karthik.
The producer of the film, Swetha Sri, is my friend. Once, when I went to her house, we talked about the film while having dinner. She came forward with enthusiasm saying that I would produce it myself. She did not ask what the budget was for this film. But I got everything I asked for. I have made this film independently. I thank the producer for this.
I had decided that Vikram Prabhu would be the hero for this film. But my friends were the ones who raised doubts about whether he would be an action hero! Will he be suitable for this story? That’s when his performance in the film ‘Irugappattru’ was released. In it, a different dimension emerged in his performance. This gave me a lot of confidence. After that, I met him in person.
The work on the film picked up speed as soon as he agreed to act. From the beginning to the end of the film, he did not ask me any questions. He had complete faith in me. I believe that even after watching this film, his faith in me has not wavered. I also thank him at this moment.
When I met music director Sean Roldan, he told Vikram Prabhu that I did not know how to tell a story. I said, read the screenplay and find out. After that, I told him the story for an hour and a half. He also believed in me and started working on this film. At that moment, he told me that this time I would give Vikram Prabhu a great album. In that regard, the three songs released so far have been very well received by the fans. For this, I would like to thank him at this moment.
Following this, I would like to thank the lyricist Mohan Rajan, actor Ramesh Thilak, distributor Sakthi Velan, Arul Das, Muruganantham, Kodangi Vadivelu, Sushmita Bhatt and the actors, actresses and technicians at this moment.
This film will have entertaining aspects. Everyone who is not married will like this film. It is not necessary for people above 30 years of age to watch this film. All men and women who are waiting for marriage can watch this film.
This society keeps comparing many things with age. It also keeps asking questions related to it. Generally, no one likes it when others ask questions. Everyone who is affected in that way will like this film. ” He said.
Actor Vikram Prabhu said, ” We are all here as a family and presenting a family film.
The joy I got during the shooting of this film was something I had never experienced before in any film shoot. When I told my father that I was going to Gopichettipalayam for the shooting of this film, he was very happy. He did not stop there and mentioned many people happily, saying, “If you go there, go to this person’s house… go to this person’s house…” When I met them there, my happiness doubled.
At that moment, I felt the pressure to make this film a good film. Not only me, but the entire film crew worked happily to make this film a great one.
I like Sean Roldan very much. That is why we worked together again in this film. The music is a huge strength of this film. He has done it beautifully and has achieved it with a good album. For this, I would like to thank him at this moment.
We all worked together as a family for a month while the shooting was going on. It was an unforgettable experience.
In this film… in this character… no one else could have played it well except actress Sushmita. She has played it so wonderfully. My compliments to her too. On behalf of Tamil cinema, I heartily welcome him.
I would like to thank the actors, actresses, technicians and producers who worked on this film.
Unlike Love Marriage, we have made it a family film that the whole family can enjoy. As always, I request you to show love to me and my films and make the film a success.”
