Jagadish Sundaramoorthy has handled the cinematography for this film, while Achu Rajamani has composed the music. The film, which is being prepared as a family entertainer, is produced by producer K.G. Ganesh on behalf of Venus Infotainment.
The preview launch of the film, which will be released in theaters worldwide on September 12, was attended by sound designer Saravanan, ‘Sarigama’ Anand, editor Madhan, art director Vasu, cinematographer Jagadish Sundaramoorthy, music composer Achu Rajamani, actors Vinoth Munna, Kumaravel, Siva Aravind, actresses Dharini, Kavita, hero Kumaran Thangarajan, heroine Payal Radhakrishna, director Balaji Venugopal, producer K. G. Ganesh, production executives Srinivasan, Ravikumar Anand Raj.
Editor Madhan said, “This is the second film I am working with director Balaji Venugopal. I had also worked in his first film ‘Lucky Man’. After that, he met me and told me the story of the film. It was interesting. I asked him how he was going to tell this on screen. That is why I have come to you, he said. Accordingly, we have not directly described the story of the film, but have told it in a non-linear style. Director Balaji is very clear about what he wants. It is difficult to compromise him on one thing, and I have learned a lot from him. Especially in the matter of sound system, he was precise due to his experience working in radio.
This film has all the features. We have provided entertainment worthy of the time you spend. You can enjoy watching the film in theaters. I am sure that everyone will appreciate Kumaran’s performance in this film. Director Balaji Venugopal’s dialogues are in a way that all sections of the society will enjoy. I request everyone to come and support the film, which will be released in theaters on September 12,” he said.
Actor Siva Aravind said, “Director Balaji Venugopal contacted me over the phone and offered me the opportunity to act in this film. For this, I first thank him.
I have seen Kumaran acting in small screen serials. But when he acts on the big screen, I have been amazed by his subtle acting skills. I have wondered if he has all these talents. Songs are very important for a hero. He has acted well in the two songs included in this film. He definitely has a big future. He has more than all the things for an actor, he also has the knowledge of a director.
Director Balaji has the ‘touch’ of the late Crazy Mohan. I have come to know this through his conversations at many moments. After watching this film, you will also feel it. I request you to make this film a success,” he said.
‘Sarigama’ Anand said, ”Congratulations to Ganesh, the producer of Venus Infotainment. We released the music of the film ‘Yathisai’ produced by him on Sarigama. Following that, Sarigama has now joined hands with the film ‘Kumara Sambavam’. I thank him for this. The songs of this film will also be a big success.
I got the opportunity to watch the film ‘Kumara Samvam’ directed by my long-time friend, director Balaji Venugopal. This film is a fun-filled family entertainer. Family-oriented films are getting a lot of reception. I hope that this film ‘Kumara Samvam’, which is being released in that series, will also get a lot of support.
Music composer Achu Rajamani has many hit songs in Tamil and Telugu. He has composed wonderful music for this film too. My congratulations to him too.” He said.
Actor Kumaravel said, ”This is the second film I am acting in under the direction of director Balaji Venugopal. When he told me the story of the film, I asked him who was producing this film. When he told me that it was the producer who produced the film ‘Yathisai’, I agreed to act. Because they were the ones who made that film beautifully and brought it to all parties and made it a big success.
Director Balaji has taken what he told me without changing it. If I have to tell you what the story is, it is about the problem between a tenant in a house and the owner of that house. This is the central point of the story. Even though all the scenes for me were set in the same house, they described it accurately in visual language.
Even though Kumaran made his debut as a hero, he displayed all his acting skills. Director Balaji Venugopal created opportunities for him accordingly. We all worked happily together as one family on the set. A simple story. They have told it in an entertaining and different way. It will appeal to fans from all walks of life,” he said.
Speaking, music composer Achu Rajamani said, ”Thank you to the producer and director for giving me the opportunity to compose music for this film. I am a fan of actor Kumaravel. He has acted well in this film. All the actors who have acted in this film have acted well. Kumaran, the hero of the film, is an introverted person. He does not talk much. But he is incredibly talented. Kumaran will definitely become a star after this film.
Director Balaji Venugopal and I have been friends for 15 years. When I composed music for the film ‘Malai Pozhudhin Mayakathile’, he played a major role in that film. Since then, I have been working as a music composer. But Balaji Venugopal has risen as an actor, and then as a director and lyricist. The pride that I have composed music for my friend’s film is enough for me.
We started talking about this film while having coffee in a restaurant. We are currently attending the preview launch and the film’s success ceremony. We will meet soon at the film’s success ceremony.
Director Balaji Venugopal has written all the songs in this film. He writes each song as if it is a dedication to senior lyricists. For this, he must have a ‘guru’ quality. He has it. We composed the songs for this film in ten days. We composed the background music for the film in ten days. The director gave us so much freedom. Everyone will like this film. I request you to come to the theatre and support me,” he said.
Actress Payal Radhakrishna said, “When I started working on this film, I did not know Tamil. But now I can speak in Tamil. I am grateful to the team for their full support. The director has given me a strong role, not like a heroine in a typical love story. This is my first film in Tamil. I hope my introduction will be perfect.
I could not do a voiceover for this film. But I am sure that I will do a voiceover in Tamil in the future. Kumaran is an introverted person at other times. But when he acts on the set, he is a fine artist. I felt comfortable working with him. The director is simple and sweet on the set. He is clear about what he needs in a shot. This surprised me. I learned a few things from him,” she said.
Hero Kumaran Thangarajan said, “It is very emotional when I sit on this stage and watch. In this film, a dialogue comes that says ‘Cinema is my ambition’. In fact, it is a very big ambition for me. An ambition of almost 17 years. I dreamed of becoming a hero in cinema. Ganesh sir, the producer of Venus Infotainment, made that dream come true.
My family does not have a background in the film world. My father worked in a tea shop. He told me that I should become a hero in cinema. He also had that desire. I also had that desire. I tried to make his dream come true. I searched everywhere and finally started acting in the Pandian Stores series. Only after that did I start getting recognition. Now I am making my debut as a hero through the film Kumara Sambhavam. I hope that I will get your support for this too.
Kumara Samvam is a very important event in my life. It is emotional and satisfying for me. I express my gratitude to producer Ganesh sir for this.
Director Balaji Venugopal and I have been friends since the beginning of YouTube. Today, we have made a film together. This makes me happy. This film is being prepared as a fun-filled family entertainer. Everyone from young to old will definitely like this film. We have given a quality work that can be watched with the family in the theater. I request you to watch it and support it,” he said.
Speaking, Director Balaji Venugopal said, “It has been two years since I got recognition as a director. The first film I directed was ‘Lucky Man’. It was released on September 1, 2023. After two years, I am meeting the fans again with the film ‘Kumara Samvam’.
Someday, when I am tired, I will look at the reviews of the film ‘Paani Puri’ released on the internet and the film ‘Lucky Man’ released in theaters. It gives me motivation, excitement and inspiration. For this, I would like to thank the media at this moment too. There are many questions about the film Kumara Sambhavam. This Kumara Sambhavam is the events that happened in Kumaran’s life. This will be understood by all the viewers when they watch the film.
First of all, I would like to thank producer Ganesh. Producer Ganesh was introduced through Kumaran. After listening to the story, he immediately decided and started working on the film. At this moment, I remembered something my cricket coach said. Ganesh sir is left-handed. These left-handed people are quick to make decisions. Likewise, they are firm in their decisions. That is why the work on this film was carried out briskly.
Producer Ganesh gave everyone, including the actors, actresses and technicians, their salaries according to their skills at the right time without bargaining and encouraged everyone. That is why I pray that this film will be a big success.
The experience of working with the composer Achu Rajamani was incredible. There is also a background to the creation of the song ‘Vidiyada Raattu Ondru..’. The song ‘Mayakma.. Kalakama..’ was popular during my grandparents’ time. During my father’s and mother’s time, if someone was tired, they would listen to the song ‘Ovvoru Pukuleme..’. We created the song ‘Vidiyada Raattu Ondru..’ so that the current 2K kids should listen to it at that time whenever they feel tired. We also created it so that they can get inspired by listening to this song. Also, this song was written to dedicate it to my wise father – Gnanguru Kannadasan.
I wrote the six songs in this film to dedicate them to Bharathiyar, Kannadasan, Vali, Vairamuthu, Na. Muthukumar, Asal Kaari, and Paal Dabba. I gave myself the opportunity to write the song in this film. I was sure that I could write songs for my story.
I created not only the song but also all the writing styles in this film. This is greed. But the only intention behind this was to provide quality entertainment to the fans. The whole family can come to the theater with their children to watch this film. Kumara Samvam is a film with a family entertainment aspect.
Actors Livingston and G.M. Kumar have contributed to many successful films released under the direction of K. Bhagyaraj while they were his assistants. But they have not acted together in any Tamil film yet. I have made it possible in this film. I consider this a matter of pride.
This is a story about a fighter. But it is not a story about his struggle. This is a story about a filmmaker. But it is not a story about the film he made.
Kumaran is a huge talent, he has a great future. Many people who want Kumaran to grow well in the film industry surround him. Because of this, he will rise to a special place in the film industry. I am a fan of Kumaran’s dancing. But there is no opportunity for that in this film. When I came to know this, Kumaran agreed with a big heart and dedicated himself to the story. His effort surprised me.
I felt that this film has the grace of God. The first name I gave for the film Lucky Man was Kandan Karunai. But I did not get that title. I am basically a Muruga devotee. Once, when I went to Pamban Swamigal Ashram and worshipped Muruga, I regretted that I could not put your name on my film. After that, how is Muruga giving me an opportunity? The hero is named Kumaran, the title of the film is Kumarasambavam, Kumaravel, G M Kumar, Bala Saravanan, Nikhil Murugan, people named after Muruga have joined the film. I have reached a point where I cannot ask Muruga for more. I am very happy with this.
I also express my gratitude at this moment to all the cinematographers, art directors, editors, production executives, actors, actresses and other technical artists who worked on this film,” he said.
Producer Ganesh said, “‘Kumara Sambavam’ is the second direct film of our Venus Infotainment company. The first work was ‘Yathisai’. The entire reason for the success of the film ‘Yathisai’ is the media. For this, I once again thank the media.
I hope that ‘Kumara Sambavam’ will also receive great support from the people like the film ‘Yathisai’. Because Kumara Sambavam is a quality family entertainer. Director Balaji Venugopal has directed it beautifully. The whole family can watch and enjoy this film.
The hero Kumaran is acting in our ‘Pandyan Stores’ serial. During a meeting with him, I promised him once that I would definitely produce a film with you. I have fulfilled that promise through the film ‘Kumara Sambavam’.
I express my heartfelt gratitude to all the actors, actresses and technicians who worked on this film,” he said.
