Friday, November 03, 2006,
Paruthi Veeran may be taking its time to reach the theatres. But it should be worth the wait, if you go by its director’s words.
‘My Paruthi Veeran will be a landmark movie in the history of Tamil cinema,’ says producer-director Ameer.
Addressing media persons in Chennai on Thursday, Ameer said, 'We have taken utmost efforts to give a movie without any commercial cliches. We believe in a strong storyline and script'.
The film features Suriya's sibling Karthi and Priya Mani in the lead roles.
On the movie's delay, Ameer said, 'When we planned to commence the shooting a year ago, all the locations selected by us were hit by heavy rain. Hence we had a delayed start.’
In between, Ameer had been to Goa for screening Ram in the International Film Festival and then to Cyprus for another film fest.
Ameer said, 'We have now completed shooting the entire talkie portion and the post production works have commenced. Plans are on to release the movie by December'.
On the highlights of Paruthi Veeran, Ameer said 'Cinematography by Ramji would be a special feature. He has shot without any artificial lights. More over all the artistes including 60 newcomers in the movie have played their part well. Yuvan Shankar's music has come out well with a couple of folk songs sure to top the audio charts'.
Heaping laurels on Karthi, Ameer said, ' He has given his heart out for the role and would achieve a lot in the industry'.
Karthi, who was also present on the occasion, thanked Ameer for giving him the right platform to make his debut'.
