What it is about…

J. Satish Kumar of J.S.K. Film Corporation presents Itharkuthane Asaipattai Balakumara . Written and directed by Gokul, the film is a comedy caper with liberal doses of sentiment and action. The cast comprises Vijay Sethupathy, Swathi, Ashwin, Pasupathy, M. S. Bhaskar, Livingston, Pattimandram Raja and Robo Shankar. Siddharth Vipin has scored the music. The audio CD of the film was launched by actor Jiiva in the presence of director Balaji Sakthivel and the first copy was received by the entire film crew.

Music Highlights

There are four tracks in the album, two of which have been written by Karky — ‘Yaen Endral’ sung by Hariharan, R.Vishu Priyan and Maalvika Manoj and ‘Enge Ponaalum’ (a prayer) sung by Naresh Iyer and Dr. Narayanan (Solgan). Lalithanand has written ‘En Veetula’, which is sung by Gana Bala. And then there is Ved Shankar’s composition ‘Naaye Naaye’.

What they say…

Producer Leo Vision V.S. Rajkumar: My previous film Naduvule Konjam Pakkatha Kanom became a hit. I wanted my second outing also to be a hit. When director Gokul approached me with this script I was at once interested because I felt the film had the potential to make it big at the box office.

Director Gokul: After my earlier film Rowthiram, I wanted to direct a different kind of movie. When I wrote the script with four characters, the outcome was a comedy. Initially, I had not considered casting Vijay Sethupathy as hero but when the producer suggested his name we decided he was the best bet for the role of Sumar Moonchi Kumar. I am confident about the film’s success.

Hero Vijay Sethupathy: This is my sixth film and when I read the story, I realised it had all the elements that would make a successful movie. I was at first not very comfortable with doing the role, especially as I was not a dancer. It was only after the director’s reassurance that I gained confidence. Both the director and dance master Raju Sundaram trained me and I was delighted when they told me I was a fine dancer. I am eager for the film’s release as I would like to watch those portions.

Music director Siddarth Vipin: I am a sound engineer and did the sound effects for three Hollywood movies, one of which had Russell Crowe as hero. I also composed the music for two Malayalam films and one Kannada film and did the RR for the Tamil film Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kanom . This is my first full-fledged Tamil movie and both the director and the producer are pleased as the audio has been appreciated. I have also appeared in a guest role in the movie.
