Kallan, prouduced by Etcetera Entertainment Mathiyazhagan is directed by Chandira Thangaraj that features Karu Pazhaniappan in the lead role.
The film is set against the rural backdrops with new-fangled plot. The film has been completed and is all set for the worldwide theatrical release on March 18, 2022.
The audio launch of Kallan was held this evening in Chennai with the presence of film’s crew, famous personalities from the film along with press and media fraternity.
Producer Mathiyazhagan said, ‘Kallan is getting released after a long phase of challenges. The entire crew is responsible for the film getting completed with perfection as planned amidst heavy problems. Chandira madam is a vigorous and honest person. She gets angry because of her honesty, but has delivered a commendable final output. We have filmed the project for a long time, and it has shaped up very well. I have converted a writer into filmmaker. The audio rights of this film have been sold for Rs. 4 lakh, and we are donating this fund to the family of Na. Muthukumar. We request everyone to support this film.’
Music director K said, ‘The journey with Kallan is quite long, and we have developed a lot during this phase. We have done some different and new attempts in this movie. I thank Chandira madam for giving an opportunity to compose music for the movie. I thank everyone in the crew for their earnest support.’
Aari Arjunan said, Many are using the word ‘Freedom’ here, but it really matters what that actual ‘Freedom’ is. I have known Chandira madam for a very long time, and it was she who introduced me to the cinema. I have personally known her anger, which was nothing but a reflection of her honesty. She has broken the myth that women filmmakers can make a good commercial cinema like male directors. Initially, I and Ameer brother was the choice to play the lead role in this movie. I am little disappointed that Karu Pazhaniappan brother is not here for the occasion. This movie is the result of Chandira madam’s struggle for years, and I am glad that she is going to reap the harvest of success with this movie’s success now.
Director Chandira Thangaraj said, Nearly 100 producers rejected my script before meeting producer Mathiyazhagan. The most common question or doubt would be how well are you going to direct this film as narrated. However, Mathiyazhagan sir surprised me by okaying the script, the same evening, I had narrated him the story. Raju Murugan had tried a lot recommending my script to many producers. My friends have been the backbone and pillar in letting my dream come true. Aari was the first choice to play the lead role, but he couldn’t make it due to his prior commitment to the movie Nenduchaalai. I had consistently pestered Dhamayandhi, but still, patience was the only answer from the other end. Everyone in the film have exhibited their prowess performances. Namo Narayanan is an one take artiste. I have perturbed the editor a lot. Music Director K is the only person, whom I had never angered upon. He patiently accompanied my journey with Kallan for years. This film will have a new-dimension musical approach. In other words, it would be something more like a first-of-its-kind in the Tamil movie industry. The only difference of opinion between me and Karu Pazhaniappan is the economics factor, and it would be resolved very soon. He is the first copy producer of this movie. However, he could have graced this occasion, and I am slightly disappointed with this gesture. I had strongly self-affirmed that I wouldn’t be attending any film related events until my movie is released. This movie will be a commercially successful one for everyone involved in the trade.
