Asal the Ajith starrer to be produced
by Sivaji Productions was launched this
morning at 9.30 with the traditional
pooja at the Late Sivaji’s house
Annai Illam at Boag Road. This event
witnessed the presence of noted luminaries
from the film world like super star
Rajinikanth, Soundarya Rajini, director
K Balachander, Suriya, Karthi, S A Chandrashekar,
Avm Saravanan, P.Vasu, Sakthi, Jayam
Raja, Editor Mohan, Sathyaraj and Lyricst
Vairamuthu.
Most of the male dignitaries were
spotted in the traditional Tamil costume
of Veshti and shirt. Ajithkumar was
as usual smart in his silk shirt and
dhoti with the Vettarival Meesai.
Prabhu who spoke on the occasion said
that it is customary for all Sivaji
Production’s films to commence
with a pooja in Annai Illam and Asal
is no exception. He further said,
“Though Rajinikanth is a super
star, he is a gentle and cultured
human being to be with and Ajith is
just a replica of him. He is such
a fine human being.”
Director Saran hoped that Asal also
will be a big hit like Chandramukhi.
He also owed his success in the film
field to his Guru K Balachander and
good friend Ajithkumar. On Asal, he
said, “Ajith will be seen in
two different getups in the film.
There will be two heroines but the
names are not yet finalized. This
will be music director Bharathwaj’s
50th film. Camera will be cranked
by Nirav Shah who will be assisted
by Prashanth”.
Vairamuthu, lyricist of the film
stated, “The trilogy of me,
Bharathwaj and Saran has always worked
magic and I am confidant that this
magic will continue in Asal also”.
While speaking about Saran, Kavi Perarasu
said that some directors make films
for heroes while some others for producers.
However Saran is one director who
satisfies everyone.
Superstar Rajinikanth said that though
his daughter Soundarya generally does
not participate in such functions,
she agreed to come today because it
is a family affair. Films like Paalum
Pazhamum and Veerapandiya Kattabomman
which were launched from Annai Illam
recorded huge success. Likewise Rajinikanth
hoped and wished that Asal also continue
in the same success track.
When Ultimate star Ajith rose to
speak he said, “I have seen
many ups and downs in my life and
career. These experiences have taught
me to follow strict discipline in
my personal life. I am happy to feature
in Sivaji Production’s film.” |
