Irudhi Pakkam – A new-fangled suspense thriller to enthrall the crowds is all set for worldwide theatrical release














Suspense-thriller genres have always engrossed the universal crowds to a greater magnitude and ‘Irudhi Pakkam’, produced by Insomniacs Dream Creations is going to be a fresh-of-its-kind experience for the audiences.


Mano Ve Kannathasan, who has written and directed the film says, “Usually, the characterizations in any respective movies would be easily identified and distinctly distinguished by the audiences easily. Obviously, within a few minutes from the show’s commencement, the audience would have a clear picture of who’s good and bad. However, the scenario is completely different when it comes to the context of a novel as it imparts a different perspective in accordance with the readers’ mindset.  They will experience different types of stories and the nature of the characters. “Irudhi Pakkam” has been attempted on the same pattern.” Getting precise with the story outline, the director adds, “A murder happens, and the next obvious thing would be who the murderer is. Although this would be the loud need of the hour, people will see it in different states of mind and so will be their questions pertaining to this murder, and it becomes a puzzling situation as none can exactly zero in the culprit. This is the main premise of Irudhi Pakkam.”

Filmmaker Mano Ve Kannadasan is a software engineer by profession, whose salary figures have always been very good numbers. However, the insatiable passion for filmmaking urged him to give up the luxurious job and pursue his dreams. Since he didn’t assist any filmmakers to gain filmmaking knowledge; he has intellectually roped in the experienced technicians from the industry to make sure that his brainchild project gets materialized with top-notch output.

Filmmaker Mano Ve Kannadasan continues to add, “A film’s substantiality is always based on two aspects – A good intriguing story and a strong technical team. If a filmmaker is endowed with these gifts, a director experiences high-level confidence in the film garnering 70% success, and I am glad that Irudhi Pakkam has such technical wizards. Praveen Balu, who has cranked the camera for many critically acclaimed short films has handled the cinematography for this movie. Currently, he is working on a prestigious project titled ‘Naai Sekar’. Jones Rupert, who shot to fame for his musical score in Harish Kalyan’s Poriyaalan, Maayan has been signed up for the music. Ram Pandian, who worked as an assistant editor in the movies like Vijay Sethupathi’s Aandavan Kattalai and Kirumi is the editor. I have created this film with this league of talented and experienced technicians.

Amrutha Srinivasan, the lead heroine in this movie has delivered a fabulous performance, and I desperately wanted her to perform the respective character I crafted after watching her spellbinding performance in the web series Kallachiripu under the production Karthik Subbaraj. The film also has more prominent and talented actors like Rajesh Balachandiran, Vignesh Shanmugham, Shree Raj, and a few more artistes. I haven’t worked as an assistant to any directors. So, I decided to approach the actors and technicians with my screenplay requesting them to work on this project, if they are impressed with my work. I was elated that everyone found something unique and interesting about the screenplay, and instantly gave a nod to being a part of Irudhi Pakkam.”

Filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon, who was spellbound over the film’s trailer, unveiled the first look poster on his Twitter page. The entire crew of Irudhi Pakkam is gleeful over the heart-warming gesture of critically acclaimed and finest filmmaker of the movie industry.

Action Reaction Films Jenish is releasing the movie all over Tamil Nadu.

Irudhi Pakkam is close on the heels of completing the post-production work and will have the official announcement pertaining to the worldwide theatrical release made shortly.

Suriya shares the reason for playing a lawyer for the first time in Jai Bhim





The handsome star Suriya has never ceased to entertain audiences ever since he began his career as an actor. The popular star manages seamlessly adapts every role he takes on – be it a cop or an entrepreneur or a boy next door. Off late, several conversations have been going on around Suriya owing to the release of his upcoming film – ‘Jai Bhim’ which releases on Prime Video this Diwali. A powerful story, Jai Bhim is inspired from real-life events based on advocate Chandru’s endeavour to bring justice to those who’ve been wronged. While fans and audiences have multiple reasons to excitedly await the release of this film, one of the most interesting part is that Suriya will be seen playing a lawyer for the first time in his career. While speaking about ‘Jai Bhim’, the actor revealed the reason why he decided to play a lawyer for the first time in his career.

“I got to meet Justice Chandru sir, much before the film through Tha.Se. Gnanavel. We were told he’s a disruptor, he's a change maker and we had heard a lot of inspirational stories about him. We also got to know that he never charges any money for human rights cases,” reveals Suriya and continues, “Knowing Chandru sir more and reading about his books and him in his younger days, we all thought that his story has to reach every corner of the world. People like Justice Chandru Sir are unsung heroes and we thought we must share his story and ignite younger minds, and this case was a remarkable one. Another interesting fact about ‘Jai Bhim’ is that a High Court setting has not been done before, at least in the recent Tamil films. So, all of these things highly motivated me to choose ‘Jai Bhim’ as the project where I want to play a lawyer for the first time”.

‘Jai Bhim’ is a thought-provoking story based on true events that happened in the 1990s in Tamil Nadu. It is written and directed by Tha. Se. Gnanavel and features popular actor Suriya in the lead along with Prakash Raj, Rao Ramesh, Rajisha Vijayan, Manikandan, and Lijo Mol Jose in pivotal roles. Jai Bhim has been produced by Suriya and Jyotika under the banner of 2D Entertainment. Co-produced by Rajsekar Karpoorasundarapandian, Jai Bhim has music by Sean Rolden. The team behind this film also includes DOP SR Kadhir, Editor Philominraj, and Art Director Kadhir. The movie will exclusively and globally premiere on Prime Video on November 2.

5 reasons we can’t wait for Suriya’s Jai Bhim, coming up this Diwali on Prime Video



 

Every festival brings with it hope and happiness, and Diwali - the festival of lights - is all about new beginnings and celebrations. This Diwali, Prime Video presents to its viewers, Suriya Starrer Jai Bhim - a film that epitomizes the true essence of the festive spirit, wrapping a beautiful and inspirational message of hope and triumph of truth.

 

From the recently released trailer it is revealed that the upcoming courtroom drama is based on true events, where Suriya essays the role of Advocate Chandru, who takes it upon himself to unearth the truth and fight all odds to bring justice for the helpless. With such a powerful and inspirational story line, Jai Bhim already feels like a film that can’t be missed. But that’s not all, here are 5 more reasons the courtroom drama makes for a must-watch!

 

Suriya in a new avatar

From a cop to a boxer to an ambitious entrepreneur, Suriya has aced every role he has stepped into. Every time Suriya comes on screen, he makes us fall in love with his character. In the Jai Bhim trailer, we see the versatile actor as a passionate advocate who will go to any lengths to fight for the rights of the oppressed. With his stoic expressions and powerful dialogue delivery, looks like Suriya is all set to win hearts and inspire minds with this new role.

 

An Ensemble Cast

While Suriya plays the role of Advocate Chandru, the trailer also features a wonderful set of actors including Prakash Raj, Lijo Mol Jose, Manikandan, Rajisha Vijayan and Rao Ramesh. A good story is a job half done, but to deliver an engaging tale, actors must infuse life through their actions and emotions. From the trailer, looks like the talented actors have effortlessly become their respective characters, raising further excitement for the film.

 

A Brilliant Team behind the camera

Further, to hook the viewer from the first scene to the last it is the team that is behind the camera which makes it possible. The film is written and directed by Tha Se Gnanavel, a journalist turned filmmaker who closely followed the advocate and his fight to bring this inspirational tale on the screen. Along with him, Jai Bhim is a melting pot of creative minds, bringing together SR Kadhir as Director of Photography, Sean Ronald as Music Composer and Philominraj as Editor to add punch to the powerful tale of truth and faith.

 

An emotionally stirring soundtrack

The first track ‘Power’ written and sung by one of the most renowned artists Arivu and composed by Sean Roldan, captures the concept of righteousness and struggle to achieve equality. The fast-paced song surely leaves everyone’s foot tapping and feeling the heat in the fight. Meanwhile, ‘Thala Kodhum’, the second song is a soft melody, beautifully encapsulating the highs and lows of the arduous journey of justice; it is sung by Pradeep Kumar, written by Rajumurugan and composed by Sean Roldan. With these two contrasting melodies, it’s clear that the thought-provoking tale is packed with strong and varied emotions.

 

A thrilling courtroom drama

Given the play of words and power, courtroom dramas always make for an engaging and intense watch. But when the battle between right and wrong is based on true events and filled with twists and turns, it becomes an even more thrilling experience. From what we have seen in the trailer so far, Jai Bhim will definitely keep audiences on the edge of their seats.  

 

Written and Directed by Tha. Se. Gnanavel, produced by Jyotika and Suriya under the 2D Entertainment banner, Jai Bhim will be released in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi on Prime Video on Nov 2 across 240 countries and territories. Jai Bhim is a film filled with power packed drama, heart wrenching emotions and hard-hitting dialogues that will leave everyone thinking…

'Hoote'- India's first voice-based social media platform for the World

 Co-founders Soundarya Rajinikanth VSV and Sunny Pokala announce the public beta launch of 'Hoote'- India's first voice-based social media platform for the World.

Filmmaker and entrepreneur Soundarya Rajinikanth VSV along with technocrat, serial entrepreneur and a global business leader Sunny Pokala, today announced the launch of their new venture Hoote'- the first voice-based social networking platform to be launched out of India, for the world. Hoote will be made available in 15 native Indian languages and 10 international languages. Being multilingual, it allows anyone who wants to be heard, to express themselves through their unique voice in the language of their choice. To use the Hoote app, all one has to do is simply record an audio message for upto 60 seconds and share it with the world. A unique feature in Hoote that allows users to further enhance their messages to a whole new cinematic experience is the option to select and add a BGM from our custom library. Our platform also assists in capturing the visual nuances of a voice message by providing the users an option to add an image of their choosing.


Soundarya Rajinikanth VSV, Co-founder of Hoote, says that as someone who comes from a creative arts background and has grown up listening some of the most powerful and meaningful voices on and off-screen, believes that voice is one of the most empowering and authentic ways to communicate and express one's views and opinions. She goes on to say that the idea came to her when her father began delivering critical communications by audio rather than text, and she saw what a difference it made to get the exact message he wanted to communicate. She believes that Hoote can be used as a platform to broadcast and link the world's most renowned voices, and also the voices of the common people both on important issues as well as to create powerful human relationships.

Sunny Pokala, co-founder of Hoote has extensive experience in developing novel technology products catering to millions of users. Notable products include Kavalan, a mobile citizen safety app in India and Securra, a disruptive healthcare platform in New York. His vast experience and successful track record has helped develop Hoote into a robust platform of international standards.

Further describing the platform's importance, Sunny Pokala elaborates on the relevance of the platform and feels that the pandemic in the last year has only brought to the forefront the compulsion to stay socially connected, not only amongst close circles but globally and the resultant screen fatigue in trying to do so. He believes that Hoote will not only help address this fatigueby making it easier for users to express themselves but will also become the preferred medium for celebrities, eminent professionals and common people, to make their voices heard and express their views and opinions due to its advanced privacy, security features and its ability to cut across the language barriers.

Hoote is a cloud-native, mobile-first, vernacular platform that offers an authentic social media experience enabled by cutting edge cloud technologies to allow people all around the world to use their voices and interact with others. Hoote hopes to build a genuine social community where users are encouraged to be themselves without the fear of being judged.

While Hoote takes advantage of the growing use of voice-based and audio technologies in digital and social platforms throughout the world, it will be the first multilingual audio platform enabled by Al. With more and more people turning to voice as a medium for communication, voice will become the way people connect again.
