As
Vijay’s 51st movie Kaavalan is nearing completion,
the producers seem to have decided to dispel
the confusions involving its title. As a result,
a ‘title introduction’ event was held this
evening at the GRT Grand Days Hotel, Chennai.
The event was attended by producer Ramesh
Babu, Vadivelu, Vijay, Asin, cameraman Egambaram,
director Siddique and financier Anbuchezhian.
The event saw speeches from the movie’s cast
and the director himself.
Vadivelu, who came first, had only praises
for Siddique. “Although I have heard a lot
of stories and acted in a number of movies,
this film is special to me. I am sure this
film will be a milestone in Vijay and Asin’s
career,” he said. He also mentioned that there
is nobody quite like Siddique when it comes
to action comedy. “If he doesn’t find any
part unconvincing, he will ask us to take
a break and practice,” he added. He also requested
Siddique to direct at least one movie in Tamil
every year.
Asin, in her brief address, wanted Kaavalan,
her 3rd film with Vijay, to be a hatrick.
“I have always wanted to be part of a sweet,
simple and clean love story. Having watched
Siddiques films since I was a kid, this is
like a dream come true for me to act in his
film,” she said. Incidentally, this is also
Asin’s 3rd film with Vadivelu.
Vijay delved into the title hullabaloo in
his speech recalling the troubles the movie
has had since its inception. “We wanted Kaavalkaran
but couldn’t acquire the title. Before we
named the movie, everybody was quoting Kaaval
Kadhal and we finally settled with Kaavalan,”
he said. He expressed thanks to Asin for having
extracted time from Bollywood, after her 3
year break in Tamil movies, to be a part of
Kaavalan.
Siddique was rather reticent in the evening
and spoke only a few words, thanking the crew
for their cooperation, requesting similar
support in the future.
