Surya, the hottest star of today, asserted, “I want to take a cue from Murugadoss and start my own productions, to encourage new talent. It’s a way to give something back to the industry which has given me so much.”
He was speaking at the audio launch of Murugadoss Productions’ maiden venture, Engeyum Eppodhum at a city multiplex.
He added that his new avatar as a producer would take place around the same time next year.Engeyum Eppodhum, which features Jai, Anjali, Sarvanand and Ananya, is directed by Murugadoss’s former assistant Saravanan.
This film also marks the entry of Hollywood’s Fox Star Studios into Tamil cinema. Its music, by Sathya, was appreciated by all.
Though Kishore is the editor of the film, we were told that ace editor Antony had cut the slick trailer which was aired that evening.
Murugadoss was in an upbeat mood and nostalgic, too, as he recalled how he had naively come to Chennai a few years ago from his native Kallakurichi with the single agenda of making it big in films and he said he was gratified that he’d accomplished that goal.
SAC and Sarath Kumar were conspicuous by their absence. Vijay Singh, Vivek, Prabhu Solomon, Harris Jayaraj were among the other guests who graced the occasion.
