Kani’s Oru Oorla Oru Raja












Director Thiru’s wife and daughter of National award-winning filmmaker Agathiyan - Kani has embarked on a new journey with ‘Oru Oorla Oru Raja’.  The show recently launched on YouTube channel ‘THEATRE D’ delves into the Indian history in the form of storytelling, which is produced, shot and edited by Thiru.

So, how it all happened? Ask Kani and she says, “Right from childhood, history has been my favorite subject and I always wanted to pass the subject to others. However, it’s a not cherry-pick of major scale crowds and eventually wanted to convey it in the form of storytelling. That’s how the idea of Oru Oorla Oru Raja sprang up as these are the first lines in any story narrated by elders to kids. I would ennoble History as ‘Discipline’ that each one of us must be furnished with. Knowing the history of our lands and ancestors is a mandatory factor as it enables us to understand the cultural ties and traditional values of the Indian sub-continent. By doing so, we aren’t just made aware of our past, but significantly can find some positive impact in shaping the future of our race. So I decided to get-go with the Indian story. The esthetical beauty, uniqueness, and endowments that our country owns and how it went through a drastic change with the arrival of conquerors from other countries.”

Initially, Kani was confined to doubts about the reception towards this attempt. However, she is now flooded with myriad praises and extols for an excellent approach towards history. She says, “Like anyone else, I was filled with some sort of incertitude about how well the viewers will receive and appreciate it. But to see the heartwarming response after completion of two episodes, I am extremely happy and installed with more confidence to proceed ahead and work harder to bring more content that is engaging and informative.”

Mayabimbum




Time and again, Tamil cinema has proved its efficiency in proving the theory ‘Content is King’. These films with a bunch of new talents as artistes and technicians haven’t just been recipients of honors, but have struck gold in commercial panoramas as well. These showpieces haven’t been mere luck by a chance spell but had its release after having lots and lots of appreciations and acclaims prior to its theatrical release. In this aspect, Maayabimbum has found a colossal reach among the film fraternity members. Filmmaker-Producer K.J. Surendar, who had a long journey of challenges to get his debut dream project materialized, feels elated to have found Company Masterpiece, who is releasing this film.

K.J. Surendar says, “I managed to complete the shooting of Maayabimbum with the help of my family and friends. Later, I screened the film to some leading personalities in the film industry among which director Lingusamy sir and his brother Subash Chandra Bose appreciated our team’s efforts. Furthermore, they extended their helpful gesture by getting me in touch with Company Masterpiece, who in turn is distributing the film now.”

Shot across Cuddalore, Pudhukottai, Chidambaram, and Thanjavur, the film is a sincere attempt of making a realistic film in a  commercial manner... its an emotional love story laced with good friends and family values... More than all, the female characterization in the film will be one of the salient assets of the film, which will be appreciated by audiences.
