Yuvan Shankar Raja is producing ‘Maamanithan’ for his production house
of YSR Films. This movie is directed by Seenu Ramasamy and features Vijay
Sethupathi and Gayathrie in the lead roles. Maestro Isaignani Ilaiyaraaja and
Yuvan Shankar Raja together have composed music. Maamanithan is a feel-good
family drama, which is all set for the worldwide theatrical release on June 24,
2022. Studio 9 RK Suresh is releasing this movie. Marking the release of this
movie, actor Vijay Sethupathi, Actress Gayathrie, director Seenu Ramasamy and
Distributor-Actor RK Suresh interacted with the press and media.
Distributor-Actor RK Suresh says, “There are only a few filmmakers, who
make movies on realistic values, and Seenu Ramasamy is one among them. This
movie will offer a fresh experience to the audiences without even the faintest
traces of Dharmadurai. It will be a movie that audiences can relate to. The
movie is set in three different locations. The story begins in Theni, travels
to Kerala, and finally ends at Kasi. This movie has created a deep impact on
me. Vijay Sethupathi has delivered the best contribution to this movie. This
movie will offer him great success. Maamanithan is going to be a special movie
for Gayathrie. The story demanded a variety of performances based on three
different situations in this movie, and she has nailed it down perfectly. I
strongly believe the movie will garner success.”
Actress Gayathrie said, “We all have a perception about villages, but
the way, Seenu Ramasamy projects them is completely unique and fresh. This is a
pure love story and has a story of 40 years of life. We have worked so hard
towards nurturing this project. The movie has shaped up in such a way of
reflects our real lives. Director Seenu Ramasamy sir is the main reason behind
it. I am delighted to have Ilaiyaraaja sir and Yuvan Shankar Raja sir together
compose music for this movie. I feel blessed for being a part of this
movie.”
Actor Vijay Sethupathi said, “Maamanithan happened when Yuvan said that
he along with his father Ilaiyaraaja would compose music together if I am
playing the lead character in this movie. Seenu Ramasamy sir has an inherent
ability to phenomenal concepts in a simple way. He has created Maamanithan in a
similar way. During the days, when I aspired to become an actor, I would yearn
to become someone like Guru Somasundaram. I am glad that I got an opportunity
to share the screen with him in this movie. Both filmmaker and cinematographer
are the only reason behind completing this movie in a shorter period. The story
is placed in three different places, and completing the shooting in a short
span of time was completely possible due to the sheer commitment of the
director & cinematographer. Gayathrie has accepted a role that many
actresses didn’t want to perform. She is an inborn talent and they are yet to
be revealed on the screens. Maamanithan will be more like watching our stories.
When I got the opportunity to be a part of the movie that features a musical
score by Isaignani Ilaiyaraaja sir and Yuvan Shankar Raja, I earnestly felt
that Seenu Ramasamy sir should direct this movie. Maamanithan will be a great
experience for the audience watching it.”
Director Seenu Ramasamy said, “I want the entire world to appreciate and
acclaim Vijay Sethupathi’s performance in this movie. Initially, the movie was
supposed to feature the Karthik Raja-Yuvan Shankar Raja-Ilaiyaraaja trio
musical. Later, Karthik Raja stepped out of the project due to some reasons.
This story was ignored and rejected by many actors. It was during that point of
time; Vijay Sethupathi expressed his desire to be a part of this project.
Later, it was confirmed that Yuvan Shankar Raja will be producing this movie,
and I wanted this to be a special movie for them. I wanted to make this movie in
the same place, where Ilaiyaraaja had lived. We shot several scenes from the
movie in Pannaipuram of Theni district, where Ilaiyaraaja and his family lived.
I have always strived to extract the natural performance of actors. I narrated
the script to many actresses, but most of them weren’t happy with the second
half. Significantly, Gayathrie showed complete interest in this movie and
wanted to be a part of it. I am confident that Gayathrie will get a National
award for her outstanding performance in this movie. I dedicate this movie to
Jeeva and Ilaiyaraaja. This movie will address and identify the great human
beings around us. I request my friends from the press and media fraternity to
facilitate the movie’s good reach among the audiences. I request everyone, who
watches the movie to express their views and opinions about the movie.”
