🎤 Director S.A. Chandrasekhar’s Speech
“When I saw the poster of Kombu Seevi, it felt very energetic. In villages, ‘Kombu Seevi’ refers to a fierce bull. It’s hard to say who fits that title here—both Sarathkumar and Shanmuga Pandian match it perfectly. Vijayakanth always had fire and speed in his eyes, and that same fiery look is visible in Shanmuga Pandian. Sarathkumar’s aggressive look suits him well—almost as if he’s saying, ‘Even if I’ve aged, I’m still a sharpened bull.’ The poster itself reflects the film’s valor.
I admire Ponram’s sense of humor. Though he is known for comedy, I believe this film will have more speed and action, which today’s generation enjoys. Every director, actor, and technician here is young at heart. Change is the only constant—in cinema and in society. The next generation must succeed, and I wish this film great success.”
🎤 Actor Rio’s Speech
“Ponram is the only director who made three family-friendly blockbusters with Sivakarthikeyan—Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam, Rajini Murugan, and Seema Raja. All of them are perfect television films that families watch together. I’m a huge fan of Ponram’s work.
The trailer of Kombu Seevi shows a perfect mix of comedy and action. Yuvan Shankar Raja’s music brings the true rural soul, as seen earlier in films like Paruthiveeran and Viruman. Sarathkumar still looks young, just like Yuvan’s music. I wish the film massive success.”
🎤 Lyricist Snehan’s Speech
“This stage is very close to my heart. I asked Ponram personally to include me in this film because of my friendship with Captain Vijayakanth. I expected to write a powerful song like ‘Tamizhan Tamizhan’ from Rajyam, but instead got a commercial number—which I still enjoyed.
I’ve worked with Captain Vijayakanth in many films, starting with Vaanjinathan. If Shanmuga Pandian grows in cinema, we’ll all be happy. He is born of love, and love never fails. I believe Kombu Seevi will win.”
🎤 Director M. Rajesh’s Speech
“his feels like a family function. I’ve seen the film—it’s excellent. Sarathkumar and Shanmuga Pandian stand tall as two pillars. Shanmuga Pandian often reminded me of Captain Vijayakanth on screen. The cinematography and music are strong backbones. This film will be a big success.”
🎤 Director Mithran R. Jawahar’s Speech
“Ponram is my favorite director. Shanmuga Pandian has a big future waiting for him. He has talent, courage, and above all, his parents’ blessings. Yuvan Shankar Raja is the hero of this event, and I wish the songs and the film great success.”
🎤 Vijay Prabhakaran’s Speech
“I’m here not as Shanmuga Pandian’s brother, but as his fan. He has been in cinema for 13 years, yet this is only his fourth film, because he chose to stand by our father during his illness. That itself shows his character.
This film progressed smoothly without interruptions. Producer Mukesh Sellaiya worked tirelessly to give Shanmuga Pandian a strong launch. Sarathkumar standing by Shanmuga Pandian after my father is no longer with us is deeply emotional and positive.
Captain Vijayakanth wanted Shanmuga Pandian’s first three films to have music from Ilaiyaraaja’s family—and that wish has been fulfilled. This film will take him to the next level.”
🎤 Music Director Yuvan Shankar Raja’s Speech
“Igrew up watching Captain Vijayakanth’s films. When Ponram told me Shanmuga Pandian was the hero, I agreed instantly. Captain has been a pillar for many. I strongly believe Shanmuga Pandian has a big place in cinema.
My journey began with Alexander and Aravindan. Today, composing for Captain’s son feels like fulfilling a family responsibility.”
🎤 Premalatha Vijayakanth’s Speech
“Everyone here has been part of my life since my marriage. Ilaiyaraaja sir and his family are very close to my heart. This film is a perfect family entertainer. Sarathkumar and Shanmuga Pandian’s chemistry works beautifully. I urge everyone to watch this film in theatres on December 19.”
Director Ponram’s Speech
“This story was inspired by farmers cultivating land inside Vaigai Dam when water recedes. It’s a serious theme presented with action and comedy. Sarathkumar as ‘Rokka Puli’ and Shanmuga Pandian as ‘Pandi’ bring this story alive.
Working with Yuvan was a long-time dream. Ilaiyaraaja singing the mother sentiment song is a blessing. Shanmuga Pandian showed complete dedication and reminded us of Captain Vijayakanth in close-up shots.”
🎤 Producer Mukesh T. Sellaiya’s Speech
“Ilaiyaraaja and Captain Vijayakanth inspired me to come to Chennai. Captain didn’t just serve biryani—he served love. This film is made with that same spirit. I thank everyone who worked on this project.”
🎤 Shanmuga Pandian Vijayakanth’s Speech
“This film is very special to me. Working with Sarathkumar sir was a learning experience. Ponram brought out my comic timing. This is a serious story told entertainingly, and I request everyone to watch it in theatres.”
🎤 Sarathkumar’s Emotional Speech
“This is not just a music launch—it’s an emotional moment. I wouldn’t have accepted this film if Shanmuga Pandian wasn’t the hero. Vijayakanth gave me my breakthrough in Pulan Visaranai. His trust, affection, and integrity shaped my career.
I firmly believe Shanmuga Pandian will become a major star. Choose roles worthy of your stature. This film talks about farmers and their struggles with humor and heart. Please watch Kombu Seevi in theatres and support Tamil cinema.”
