KAANCHAN PRASHANTH caught up with some of the KV cast and crew, for a sneak peek into the movie. Snippets from those conversations...
Few directors have managed to weave love stories as poignant as Mani Ratnam. He somehow manages to create characters that are relatable as they are admirable. The romantic inclinings of even his macho heroes have always warmed our hearts. The shades of grey that he infuses into them, make them real and hence easier to empathize with. When you feel their fall, you celebrate their rise. And even after the curtains fall, and your well on your way home, you’ve got a little piece of Mani Ratnam tucked away into your soul. Dip it in a dose of AR Rahman, and you’ve got a piece of heaven right there! Coming from yet another union of these two brilliant dream-weavers, KAATRU VELIYIDAI has all the markings of Cupid’s arrow dipped in the most potent love potion and aimed at all of our hearts! The movie is produced by MADRAS TALKIES and presented by SRI THENANDAL FILMS.
Circle Coming A Full
For most actors starring in a Mani Ratnam movie is a validation that they are good actors. For the audience it is a message that the actor is now officially in the big league! With Karthi however, it’s a different story. He began his journey in cinema, working as an associate director to Mani Ratnam. Learning the ropes from the master craftsman himself. But it’s taken him a good ten years to get called back to the sets and that too as the lead player. And while you get the sense that Karthi stepped in front of the camera everyday hoping to floor his Guru, the sense of pride and celebration in his voice is unmistakable.
