As a preamble to the ensuing grand audio release, producers of Kanthaswamy convened a press brief at Sri Annai Abirami Theatre tonight at 8.00. The event witnessed attendance from Vikram, Shriya, Devi Sri Prasad, Susi Ganesan, lyricist Viveka, Sony BMG official Nandini and producer Kalaipuli Thanu.
Thanu, in his welcome speech, launched Kanthaswamy’s trailers. As a novel attempt and to pronounce the grandeur associated with the movie’s
production, five different trailers were screened. Each one, shot in super stylish angles with perfect finishing, is meant to tantalize the viewers and give them a sneak peek on what is in the anvil.
It was also made known that the audio will be released on April 15, 2009 for which a big scale event is planned. Dancers from Italy were invited to be part of the event who are already rehearsing for the same, it was revealed. The audio release will be telecast on Sun TV. Thanu mentioned that this audio release event will be a tribute to the film’s lead Vikram who has sung almost all the songs in the album like good old days when heroes also took the role of singers.
Kanthaswamy will also adopt around 30 villages in Tamil Nadu, as opposed to the earlier plan of 3. Many welfare schemes will be implemented in the villages and eligibility to become a part of this adoption scheme will be announced very soon, Thanu and director Susi Ganesan announced. Susi also showered admiration on Thanu mentioning that he was provided complete freedom during the movie’s production.
It is worth mentioning that Thanu completes his 25 years in cinema this 2009.
Vikram was all praises for Susi Ganesan and stated that he never imagined such a grand scale filming of Kanthaswamy. “When the script was narrated to me, I did not think Kanthaswamy would be such a mammoth project. But Susi has made the project truly humongous,” he said.
In her brief speech, Shriya attributed her beautiful looks in the movie to director Susi. “If I look any better in this movie than my other ones, the sole credit of it goes to the director,” she asserted.
