What they say
Producer B. Bharathi Reddy: Our production company is one of the
oldest in South India and we have some of the best films in Tamil and
Telugu to our credit. When we decided to produce a new film we told
director Siva that there must be nothing negative or experimental about
it. We wanted it to be a family entertainer. Ajith Kumar too was
particular about this and stood by us, and I am happy that we got a ‘U’
certificate from the Censor Board. People will enjoy the film as we had
intended them to.
Director Siva: I am a cinematographer and worked as an associate
to Jayanan Vincent. After working as a cinematographer on 14 films, I
made my directorial foray. I have now finished five films — three in
Telugu and one in Tamil, and the fifth is Veeram. Ajith Kumar plays a son-of-the-soil character — his performance is sure to be enjoyed by all.
Hero Ajith Kumar: I have only one thought when accepting a film.
It should appeal to the audience and bring in money for the producers
who invest in it. I am sure that this movie will delight audiences.
Music director Devi Sri Prasad: I am glad to see the response
from different quarters to my album. Each and every song has been
composed keeping in mind Ajith’s fans. Besides, the songs suit the
situations that have been so beautifully created by director Siva. This
is the first movie for which I am doing the music for both director Siva
and Ajith Kumar. Both of them gave me a lot of freedom to work.
Music highlights
The best of the five songs in the album is ‘Nalavannu Solvanga’, sung by
the music director himself. ‘Ival Dhaana’, sung by Sagar and Shreya
Ghoshal, is a beautiful melody, so is ‘Thangamae’ rendered by Adnan Sami
and Priyadarshini. ‘Jing Chakaan’, sung by Pushpavanam Kuppusamy and
Magizhini Manimaran, is a rocking number, while ‘Ratha Gaja’ could be
considered the theme song, as it just has voices singing in chorus.
