I take this opportunity, to heartily thank you all, my dear media friends, for your great support, right from the first day of my career through the last 25 years in the Cinema Industry, and who still continue to support and inspire me till this day. A very special thanks to you, one and all.

Madhan Karkys Letter to Media

Monday 31 December 2018

Dear Media Friends,

Every year, thousands of songs release in hundreds of movies. A majority of us do not have the time to choose the best ones. You are doing the laudable job of reviewing and presenting them to us. I write to thank you for this work of yours.

Last year, I worked on 83 songs in 33 movies. I also worked on 25 indie songs. I had the opportunity to work in 2.0 on technical inputs, additional dialogues, songs and also to work on the dialogues in Nadigaiyar Thilagam. I thank you for critiquing, appreciating my works and taking it to the public via your media.

I am delighted to know that Kurumba from Tik Tik Tik composed by Imman is the Most Played song on radio in 2018. The songs that I have worked on in 2.0, Padmaavathi, Dhiya, Nadigaiyar Thilagam, Lakshmi, Sandakozhi 2, Thadam, Kaatrin Mozhi, Vanjagar Ulagam, Seedhakaadhi, Pyaar Prema Kaadhal, Sarvam Thaalamayam gave me a sense of
satisfaction.


Koovai, Ulaviravu, Bodhai Kodhai, Periyar Kuthu, Yaavum Enadhe, Kaadhal Thozhi are a few indie songs this year that gathered attention as much as movie songs and your media has been the primary reason for this reach.

In songs such as Aalaalilo, Karuve, Misiriya, Unadhallava, Mouna Mazhaiyile, Thandhaay, IRudhiyil Enna Enjum, Inaiye, Asaiyum Yaavum, Kannaadi Nenjan, Aalaalaa, Po Urave, Avan Thugal Neeyaa, Sarvam Thaalamayam & Varalaamaa Un Arugil, I was given the freedom to celebrate relationships, explore new words, concepts and travel to different depths in the exploration of emotions. I would like to thank all my directors, composers, singers and producers for these songs.

Kaadhale & Uyir by Karthi Netha, Ennadi Maayaavi & Vaa Rayil Vida Polaama by Vivek, Naan Yaar by Maari Selvaraj, Kannaana Kanne by Thaamarai are a few of my favorite songs that released last year. I would like to convey my wishes to the writers, via you.

In the coming year, I would love to meet you with beautiful songs and good dialogues. I wish you all a very happy 2019.

With love,
Karky

Sandakozhi franchise is like God Father

“We are proud to say that Sandakozhi franchise is like God Father” – Vishal

The audio launch of Vishal-Keerthy Suresh starrer Sandakozhi 2 has become a sensational celebration in town now. The entire team was present for the media interaction session and here are some of the excerpts.

Sharing his experience working with Lingusamy, Vishal said, “My relationship with Lingusamy goes back to our days of Sandakozhi. When the script was completed, I was quite reluctant whether Lingusamy would accept me as a hero since he had written the script keeping Suriya in mind. It was a crucial time, where my debut film Chellamey wasn’t even released. But he was generous enough to trust and banks his hope on me. I trusted more on this ‘Saamy’ (Lingusamy) than ‘Saamy’ (God) in my Prayer room. Now having worked with him in Sandakozhi 2, we are proud to say that Sandakozhi franchise is like God Father. This is because, when we worked in Sandakozhi 2, we were reminded of beautiful memories in our first part. So I’m sure, if there is a third part, we will have more memories to cherish about. If this film turns to be a huge success, myself and Keerthy Suresh will definitely stand at the footsteps of Lingusamy’s office. On the other hand, the second part has so much substantial that it can pave way for the premise of third installment as well.”

 When many wondered why Vishal didn’t open up on Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, he said, “Even a couple of lines about either her performance or role would turn out to be a spoiler. So Lingusamy and I decided to remain tight lipped about her.. I am sure when audiences walk out of theaters post-show, all characters including me might get faded, but Varalaxmi will be retained in their minds.”

 Getting on to share his working experience with Keerthy Suresh, he said, “It during this shoot, I happened to see Keerthy Suresh in two different dimensions – Before Nadigaiyar Thilagam and After Nadigaiyar Thilagam. Till then, I was treating her like a casual heroine, She happened to show me a small clipping from Nadigaiyar Thilagam before the release. As I was sitting watching her performance, I gained an intense respect and stood up with respect to congratulate her. Her role in this film will be definitely a great sparkler.”

 Moviemaker Lingusamy said, “In one of the recent occasions, I had openly admitted that there is not even a single difference and change in Vishal’s physique from first part to the new one. The gap might look like 13 years between both these movies, but according to me, it’s just 13 days. But when it comes to the progress and development of Vishal, it is definitely 13 years. He has expanded his brilliance and stability to a greater extent. Today, I feel so much proud to see him involved in various activities. Moreover, with so many responsibilities, the way he handled things with coolness made me completely awe stricken. More than all, his greatest gesture of not letting me go into any kind of  pressures during the shoot makes me feel more emotional.”

 Actress Keerthy Suresh said, “First and foremost, I would claim Sandakozhi 2 to be a stress buster for me personally. It was during the same time, I had to shoot for the film ‘Nadigaiyar Thilagam’, where I felt completely inclined to pressures. But when I stepped into the shooting spot of  Sandakozhi 2, things were completely easy. I could feel myself rejuvenated working with this time. My heartiest thanks goes to Lingusamy sir for giving me a great opportunity to work in this franchise, which already had an iconic actress like Meera Jasmine. I would gladly mention that Sandakozhi 2 will remain to be my favorite film after Nadigaiyar Thilagam forever.”
