Thiru Thiru Thuru Thuru is the
name of the film that is directed
by Nandhini, who was an assistant
to director Priya. The title indicates
the hero who gawks all the time
and the heroine who is twitchy all
through the film. This film’s
audio was launched at a function
held in Chennai’s Satyam Cineplex.
Noted film personalities like Kamal
Haasan, Gautham Menon and KS Ravi
Kumar participated in the event.
Those present also shared their
experiences in situations where
they were forced to gawk (Thiru
Thiru) and be fidgety (Thuru Thuru).
Speaking at the function, Gautham
Menon said that he remembered gawking
at the age of nineteen when he visited
his girlfriend’s house and
her mom made a sudden entry. The
director, however, refused to disclose
further details. He also recalled
that while directing Vettayadu Vilayadu,
he wanted Kamal Haasan to re-shoot
a scene according to his specifications.
The director after much hesitation
brought it to Kamal’s notice
that he wanted the scene his way
to which the actor agreed and asked
him to act it out. The director
recalls this was a situation in
which he was restive. Gautham said
that all his films since then have
been moving on a faster pace.
Kamal Haasan said that while shooting
for a scene in Devar Magan he felt
that Sivaji Ganesan could do much
better. Without a second thought,
the actor mentioned it to the late
actor, who took it in good stride
and completed the scene according
to Kamal’s input.
In yet another situation, also involving
Sivaji Ganesan, director KS Ravi
Kumar said that while shooting for
Padayappa he could not find a place
to smoke with Sivaji being on the
sets all through the day. On finding
a secluded spot in the art room,
Ravi Kumar entered it only to find
Superstar Rajinikanth smoking. When
Sivaji enquired about the cigarette
smell on the sets, the gawky director
shifted the blame on a colleague.
