The low budget ‘Thamizhpadam’ is produced by Why Not Company and presented by Dayanidhi Azhagiri on behalf of Cloud Nine Movies.  Director Amudhan spoke to press persons and said:  we are hoping to keep the story of the film a secret till the release.  The film is taken with the theme of celebrating Tamil films.  This will in no way mock any movie or any actor, but will make the audience enjoy with happiness.  The hero of the film Siva has performed a Bharatanatyam dance in the film.  The film is expected to be released in January.

Speaking on the occasion producer Dayanidhi Azhagiri said “I never wanted to be in cinema industry.  My grandfather Kalaignar Karunanidhi has accomplished a lot in cinema.  My father is a film distributor.  My uncle Mu.Ka. Stalin has acted and his son Udayanidhi Stalin is film producer.   Yet another of my uncles Mu.Ka. Thamizharasu’s son is about to act in films.  I became a producer in that background only.  I like to direct films but not act in them.  I plan to produce 3 films in 2010.

Details about ‘Thamizhpadam’

This will be the first ever Indian spoof movie.  Going by the information given in the hand out that this screenplay is created to poke fun at the formula of the old films it will tease the actors and films of the past.  To read that M.S.Bhaskar, Vennira Aadai Murthy and Manobala are acting as college students we presume that it will ridicule the 50+ Rajini and Kamal acting with 18 year old heroines.  There may be spoof scenes to show that it is not good for our films to portray 35+ heroes as college students.  It may also sound off the idea that middle aged actors should act only in such characters and make way for youngsters to act in young characters.  If it is a healthy spoof of Tamil Cinema the Tamil audience will spread a red carpet heartily.  Will ‘Thamizhpadam’ fulfill that desire?  We will have to wait till January.
