What they say…
Producer G. R. Vijay Sukumaran: I have been in the advertising field from 1996. When I heard this impressive storyline from director Nambirajan, I decided to produce it myself. This is a period film and the narrative links interesting incidents from three different time periods.
Director P.V. Nambirajan: I have been in the industry for the past 30 years. I was introduced as an actor in En Rasavin Manasile and have acted in over 130 films since. I was also involved in the story and screenplay discussion of all of Raj Kiran’s movies. Later, I got to work with directors Kasthuri Raja and Ramarajan. I wanted to become a director, but was waiting for the right break. I thank producer Vijay Sukumaran for this opportunity.
Hero Harikumar: I worked with various dance masters such as Raghuram, Kala, Tarun Kumar and Prabhu Deva. Later, I became a choreographer and worked on over 100 films. I was also interested in acting. I made my debut with Thoothukudi , which I also produced. The film became a hit and I came to be accepted as an actor. Now, I am waiting for the release of Sankarapuram .
Music directors Sabesh-Murali: We started our career under Ilaiyaraaja and Deva. We have worked with many music legends on over 700 films, following which we established ourselves as music directors. We have earned a name for re-recording and have been providing the background score for many leading music directors. The music and the songs of Sankarapuram, our 34th film, have come out well.
