Inspired by Russian writer Maxim Gorky's novel 'Mother,' Chief Minister M Karunanidhi had written a poetic Tamil novel. Based on that, 'Thai Kaviyam' is being made.
A few months ago, he had gone to China for the song sequences. It was said that half the budget went kaput with this first overseas visit. After returning from China, no shooting took place.
They took up a room in Mahabalipuram and again discussed the story. No one was satisfied with the first version of the story.
Usually, the story will only change after a discussion. Strangely in this instance, the director is also changed!
They have removed Bali Srirangam who had done the song shooting in China. In his place, Jagannath who has directed 'Raman Thediya Seethai' will direct the film.
