What they say…
Producers Kovai Dhandapani and Dindugal Sakthivel: Sakthivel and I are businessmen and we are involved in politics too. We liked the storyline which is about what happens in the day-to-day life of a politician. The film is ready for release and we are sure of its success.
Director K.M. Krishnamurthy: I have worked under S.D. Vendan, who made Inba and Mayanginean Thayanginean . Kovai Dhandapani is a friend of mine and when I told him the story he was keen on producing the film. I cast him as the villain; similarly, Dindugal Sakthivel plays an important role in the film. This is my debut movie and I have worked hard to make it big at the box office. The film features a TVS 50 race, an event that takes place every year in our village.
Hero Sridhar: I come from the same place, Pudukottai, as the director. In Chennai, I have always been connected with the media in some way or the other. As Ooratchi Ondriyam is a village subject, the director thought I would fit the role to a T. I have begun taking acting seriously and attend dance, gym and acting classes.
Music director S.R. Prasad: I have finished the 8th grade exam conducted by the Trinity College of Music and was taught by Augustine Paul. I also learnt Hindustani Music and have 60 jingles and four short films to my credit. This is my debut film and I am happy to score the music for it as it has a good storyline and a neat screenplay. When the songs were released it got me appreciation from different quarters.
