Sathiram Perundhu Nilayam

What it is about…

Haji Cine Creations’ Sathiram Perundhu Nilayam is based on a true life story. Directed by Ravipriyan, who has also written the story, screenplay and dialogue, the film features Roshan, Twinkle, Swathi, Pandiarajan, Nalini, Mayilsamy, Muthukalai, Alex Raja, Ilamaran and Rohini. The music was composed by Sriram. The first CD was released by actor Radha Ravi and received by Asiq Meeran, the Deputy Mayor of Tiruchi, and Roshan, hero of the movie.

Music highlights

There are six songs in the album and the best is ‘Yaar Ivano’ sung by Madhumitha and written by Ilaiyakamban. He has also written another song ‘Tiruchi Malaikottai,’ sung by Solar Sai. Kamakodian’s meaningful lyrics in ‘Sonna Varthai’ are expressively rendered by Prasanna. The same lyricist’s ‘Adicha Fullu’ sung by Krishnaraj is for the masses. ‘Unnale,’ written by Sarathy, has been sung by Venki and ‘Manasu Vecha Kathalukku’, written by the director and sung by Jaidev is above average.

What they say…

Producer Balkeesh Alavudeen: When director Ravipriyan came to me with a story on the TASMAC shops in Tamil Nadu and particularly how the people working there are treated in society, I got interested to produce the film. Trichy N. Babu joined me in the venture and the film has come out well.

Director Ravipriyan: I have worked with directors K. Balachander, Indiran and Majith. This is my first film. It is based on an incident that happened at the popular Tiruchi bus terminus, Sathiram Perundhu Nilayam. In fact it was the story which helped me easily find a producer.

Hero Roshan: I am a theatre artiste and have won several awards in Tiruchi and other places. I wanted to prove my mettle on celluloid. Director Ravipriyan happened to be looking for someone to play the lead in his film and he said I fitted the role to a T. I feel my work in the film will fetch me recognition.

Music director Sreeram: I have been interested in music from a young age. My first film was Akku. Director Ravi Priyan who watched it liked my work and approached me to do his film. My future films include Kaanagam, Virudachalam and Annakalangiyam Magal Poonkodi .
