After being assistant to Venkatesh and Lingusamy, Kanagu makes his directorial debut with 'Pidichirukku.' Staring 'Muruga' Ashok, the music for the film is composed by young Madhu Rameshan.
At the music release function, senior musicians like SP Balasubramaniam, P Susheela, MS Viswanathan and S Janaki participated. Each song was introduced before being played. Madhu Rameshan's father Rameshan Nair has also penned lyrics for one of the songs.
"When I narrated the story of 'Run' to AM Rathnam, I first suggested the title 'Pidichirukka.' He did not like the title, so I suggested 'Run.' I am very happy that Kanagy has now taken the title of 'Pidichirukku' for his film," said a proud Lingusamy of his pupil.
"The title of my first film was 'Muruga.' In this, my second film, I play a character named Vel. So I feel everything is happening with god's blessings. I am so lucky to receive the blessings of greats like Ms. Susheela and SPB sir," said hero Ashok and feel at their feet.
"When making 'Annamalai,' a small boy used to sit in the corner in Balachander's office and play the keyboard. His music used to have a certain something. That boy is none other than the internationally famous AR Rehman. I now see a unique quality in Madhu Rameshan's music. I think he'll also rise to become a prominent composer," said director Suresh Krishna.
SPB's speech also seemed to confirm this but at one stage his voice throbbed with anger towards young generation musicians.
"In those days when recordings were being done, the whole place used to be so lively live a marriage function. Nowadays it is anything but that. Many seem to be like half baked musicians. They don't even know the notes of a raga," said SPB expressing his disappointment.
Director Kanagu proposed the vote of thanks. Special guests were honored with a memento by the producer.
