The cinematography of this film is by S. Pichu Mani and the music is composed by Ashwin Vinayagamoorthy. The film, which is being made as a thriller, is produced by producer G.R. Madhan Kumar under the banner of Radha Film International.
The music and preview launch of the film, which will be released in theaters worldwide on the 28th of this month, was held in Chennai. The film’s music and preview were released at the event by director K. Bhagyaraj, who made a mark at the event, and the film crew were joined by directors R. K. Selvamani, R. V. Udayakumar, and Perarasu.
Speaking on the occasion, producer Madhan Kumar said, “My heartfelt thanks to all the special guests who came to this event. Thanks to all the actors, actresses, and technicians who worked in this film.
The hero of this film, Vasan, has shown one side of himself and acted well. There are many chapters to talk about him. He will get opportunities to act in many more films. My best wishes for that too.
Director Karunanidhi is my close friend. We have a 25-year friendship. One day, he met me and realistically told me the story of the film. This is a true story. It could have happened in everyone’s life. People in public life would have faced such incidents and then slowly recovered from them. It is something that is happening in the country. You may have seen it in the preview of the film. I request everyone to go and watch this film in theaters and enjoy it. And our company is releasing this film all over Tamil Nadu.
There is a starting point for all this. He is my dear friend Martin Suresh. He was directly affected by the authorities during the Corona period. Director Karunanidhi has written the screenplay of the film based on the incidents he told and has made a great film,” he said.
Lyricist K. Karthik said, ”The composer and director contacted me for this film and asked me to make a film called ‘IPL’,
a similar environment, and poetic lyrics. I have written a song in this film that starts with ‘Yavalo..’.
When composer Ashwin Vinayagamoorthy spoke to me, he sent me the basic structure of a melody and asked me to write lyrics for it. We did not meet in person, but spoke through WhatsApp. I was not completely satisfied at first. Then the composer said, ‘Let’s try and see. It will come out well.’ Then, when the music was combined and presented as a complete song, I felt that there was a feeling in it, and I was very happy. He had also chosen a suitable singer for that song. Chinmayi had sung that song. Shivam Mahadevan had also displayed his talent. Congratulations to the composer Ashwin Vinayagamoorthy for presenting such a successful song. I hope he will reach great heights,” he said.
Director R. K. Selvamani said, ”The director of this film, Karunanidhi, is my friend. He is working with us in the Directors’ Association. He has been involved in the work of the film for the past one and a half years. He would meet me during the shooting and list every problem saying, ‘What is the problem?” I will resolve all the problems through negotiations. I am happy to see the director and the producer happy together on this stage. The producer and the director are friends at the music and music launch, this is the success of the film. Because many directors complain to me that the producer did not invite me to the music launch.
But the producer has faith in the film. He happily welcomes all the special guests who have come here. He has also said that he will release the film all over Tamil Nadu. It is clear that the producer has more faith in this film than the director. Therefore, my congratulations to the producer.
While screening the songs of this film, hero TDF Vasan asked me what else I need to learn to improve myself. Don’t learn anything from him. Be the way you are now. Be friendly with everyone. Don’t change after becoming a hero. Just be natural. Everything else will happen automatically. When opportunities come and when opportunities are given, the extent to which you are friendly with the producers will save you. Whenever you speak on stage, don’t forget to mention the name of the producer who introduced you. It will be a great respect for the producer. When you thank him on stage, you will definitely get his greetings.
There should be no differences of opinion among the artists and things should work smoothly. Because artists are the property of the people,” he said.
Director R. V. Udayakumar said, ”I cannot forget actress Abhirami who is participating in this festival. She is the actress I wanted to work with. Her smile is special. Beautiful. Karthik sir and Abhirami were to act in a film called ‘Ulakai Vila Pesa Vaa’ under my direction. The work on that film did not take place later.
A boy from our village used to ride a bike and buy cases wherever he saw. A boy who used to roam around like a troublemaker. He has come here and acted quietly and become a hero. I am happy that he has suddenly become a hero. I wish that this film industry should improve because of you. I also wish that it should grow well. The producer is happy. I wish that it should remain like this.
When I see this film crew, I get the feeling that cinema is healthy. Because the producer who made this film is releasing the film all over Tamil Nadu because of his faith in the film. I welcome this.
Even though many people have come along the lines of K. Bhagyaraj – Bharathiraja, if we are still talking about them today, it is because of their creation. It is because of their realistic expression of life. In that way, I hope that ‘IPL’ will also be a realistic expression of life.
There are many talented directors like Karunanidhi in our directors’ association. I request them to also be given the opportunity to produce. I also request him to continue producing films.
In cinema, success can only be achieved if there is unity from the producers to the shop floor workers. Everyone has worked together in this film. For that, I thank everyone at this moment,” he said.
Lyricist Mohan Raj said, ”I have also written a song in this film. The film’s music composer Ashwin Vinayagamoorthy sent me a message. After that, when I saw his music work, he works commercially, but my song is story-based. I thought how can I establish a connection with him. After that, I spoke to the director. Only then did I know that the music composer had a clear idea of what he needed.
I have written a song in this film that starts with ‘Kaathodu Boguma..’ In the stanza of this song, the lyrics ‘The open field will wait for you everywhere, the companion will be there, the eye will touch you
I am a fan of lyricist R.V. Udayakumar. I am a big fan of those lines in the film ‘Ponnumani’, ‘Nenjukkulle innarunnu sonnna tehera…’. Even though those lines seem ordinary, the idea of writing them surprised me,” he said.
Actor Bose Venkat said, ”While I was learning cinema, the film that taught me even more was ‘IPL’. The name of the director of this film. My favorite name. The name that my father fed me and raised me. His name is Karunanidhi. He has told a wonderful politics in this film as befits his name.
My friend Suresh told me the story of this film two years ago. After listening to the entire story, I told him that this will soon be a film. I told him that it is a suitable story for it. After that, director Karunanidhi met me and told me this story and I saw Suresh with him. It was amazing.
Suddenly, some brothers interfere in our lives. The one who interfered in such a way was the producer of the film, Madan Kumar. When I was in a problem, Madankumar was the one who rescued me from that problem by giving me a significant amount of money without asking. In these times, it is difficult to get financial help even if you go in person and fall on my feet. Madankumar’s action at such a time surprised me. I pray that this film will be successful because of his good heart,” he said.
Actress Kushita said, ”I don’t know Tamil. I am learning. The Tamil film ‘IPL’ in which I acted is releasing in theatres on November 28th. Everyone should come to the theatre and watch it. I hope you all like this film,” he said.
Actor TDF Vasan said, ”Thank you to the director and producer for giving me a chance for this film. This is my first film. I must have made a lot of mistakes. Watch the film in theatres and give your honest reviews. I will correct the shortcomings you mention.
I am a shy boy, no one will believe me when I say this. The choreographer knew my shyness when I danced for the song in this film. I have a desire to dance. But I don’t know how to dance. However, I have danced in this film. I thank the choreographer for that.
My co-star Kushita provided complete cooperation on the set. Especially in the kissing scene, she gave a comfortable contribution.
The director first called Karnan – then Karunakaran – and finally, he kept his real name, Karunanidhi, in the title.
I would like to thank all the actors and technicians who worked with me in the film.
I have started my side promotion since the teaser of the film was released. This is my first film. I am promoting it with the intention of doing something good for the director and producer who have trusted me and taken a risk. I request everyone to continue supporting this film.
It was a surprise to see myself on screen in the second part of this film. Music composer Ashwin Vinayagamoorthy had worked magic to that extent.
We have adapted a true incident and mixed it with a bit of imagination to make this film. We have told people how much injustice is happening in society. We see such incidents in newspapers and easily pass them by. This film shows how much truth is behind that news. How much political and financial power there are.
Your home child Vasan’s first film ‘IPL’ is releasing on November 28. I request everyone to watch the first look on the first day,” he said.
Actress Abhirami said, ”Thank you to the guests who came to congratulate our film ‘IPL’. Thank you to everyone who came here to congratulate us without discrimination as a first-time film producer, a first-time film director. We have worked hard to make this film. The film is based on a news item published in a newspaper. However, there are many things in it that everyone can easily relate to. There is a family story, a beautiful love story, suspense, and fight scenes. Vasan has acted in the fight scenes on a bike. The film has all the entertainment aspects. I request everyone to come and watch this film in the theaters,” he said.
Actor Kishore said, ”Cinema is the medium of the people. The biggest example of that is director K. Bhagyaraj, who is sitting here on the stage. He took the stories of the people for the people and through them he created many questions and found solutions. Times have changed now. Cinema is almost becoming a slave to the system. In this context, it is gratifying that such films that sound like the voice of the people and ask questions are continuously released in Tamil cinema. ‘IPL’ is one such film. I am happy that I am a part of it. For this, I thank the producer, the director and everyone who worked with me. I hope that people will support the courage of this film crew,” he said.
Director K. Bhagyaraj said, ”We were in an area called Bharathipuram near Peelamedu in Coimbatore. From there, we moved to a new area called Siddhaputhur. On the way to that town, there was a carrom club. I really like carrom. I played carrom in that club. Since I was a new person, everyone played against me every day. I played well. So I kept winning every day. The people there were upset, saying, ‘Hey! We are not here at this time..!’ This continued every day. I also became curious to know who that person was and wanted to play with him. They chose a Sunday and made both of us play carrom. After he introduced himself, he and I started playing. I played patiently to know what his style was. Everyone in that area was happy that he continued to play well. They kept encouraging him. I found out his weakness. After that, I showed my talent. Then he looked at me with a slight surprise. The people in the crowd were nervous that he would face defeat, and they got a little emotional. At that time, I started thinking a little. I also slowed down the speed of my game. The people in the crowd see him as a hero. So I wanted him to win. Then he started playing slowly and won the game. After the game was over, I praised him. For that, I did not win you. You gave it to me. He said, thank you very much for that. Since then, he has become my companion and best friend. After that, I came to cinema. He continued to work in a mill with low wages. After that, I brought him to cinema. He was my friend Palaniswami. Palaniswami played a Hindi voice in the film ‘Indu Poi Naalai Vaa’. He also rose to become a producer who produced three films, ‘Deena’, ‘Rettai Jadai Vayasu’ and ‘Ayudha Pooja’. The reason I am sharing this here is that friendship is always valuable. If you earn it, you do not have to earn anything else. Here, I brought him and made him the producer. But the producer of this film brought his friend and made him the director. Their friendship moved me. I would like to express my special gratitude to the producer for this.
They said that Director Karunanidhi is Vetrimaaran’s assistant. His belief will succeed. My compliments to him.
Actress Revathi first came to act in my film ‘Darling Darling Darling’. Her age was not suitable for the role. So I told her to wait for a while. During this interval, our director Bharathiraja introduced Revathi in the film ‘Manvasanai’. I told her to wait for a photo shoot to introduce actress Ranjani in the next film. By then, our director Bharathiraja had introduced her in the film ‘Muthal Aadhaari’. Actress Ambika, who played the role of ‘Andha Ezhuvadha’, was introduced by her sister Radha. At that time, I told her that I would introduce her in the next film ‘Thural Ninnu Pochu’, a village subject. By this time, our director had also cast Ambika. The opportunity to introduce actresses like this kept on missing. But everyone rose to great heights. Because our director’s blessing is like that.
That’s why Abhirami’s performance is better when she plays the heroine of the story than when she plays the heroine. Now she is acting in different roles.
Hero Vasan is a YouTube celebrity and has danced well in his first film, so this film will be successful because he already has fans.
The director said that the story of this film is based on a true incident. People will easily identify with such stories and relate to it. That is why it will be successful. This has also created a desire to watch the film. That is why the film will definitely be successful. I will meet everyone at the success ceremony,” he said.
Music composer Ashwin Vinayagamoorthy said, ”When this film came to the music director, they were acting as the characters they played in that film. That is how they appeared on screen. That is why we have composed the music. In particular, there is a 15-minute chasing scene in which the hero of the film Vasan appears. It will definitely provide a wonderful cinema experience to everyone. For this, everyone should go to the cinema hall and watch this film.
I thank the producer, the director and everyone who worked on this film for giving me a chance,” he said.
Speaking, Director Karunanidhi said, ”IPL- Indian Penal Law- Indian Penal Code. When a common man is living happily, how do those with power and money get away with it when they have a problem, they impose that problem on the common man… We have made this film to show how common people are affected.
A lot of news about murders and accidents is published in the newspapers. No one knows whether these are real murders or real accidents. Only by investigating the background will the truth be known. We can know that there are conspiracies behind it. But we can easily pass it by.
We have discussed such a message in detail in the film ‘IPL’. I request everyone to watch this film in the cinema hall,” he said.
