Aattanayagan Audio Launch Videos, Stills

Lakshmi Movie Maker’s 27th production Aatanayagan – Man of the Match had a glitzy audio launch at the Sathyam cinemas today (March 17) morning.

This is the fourth film of hero Shakthi, son of director P Vasu. The function was attended by the who’s who of Kollywood including KS Ravikumar, Vikraman, Rama Narayana, Sivasakthi Pandian, Anbalaya Prabakaran, Abirami Ramanathan, Kalaipuli Sekar, Paneerselvam, Sibi, Prasanna, Radhika, Bhagyaraj, Hansraj Saxena, AC Shanmugam, L Suresh, Kastoori Raja, VC Guhanathan, Pyramid Saimira Saminathan and others. Heroine Ramya Nambeesan was also present along with Aditya who plays the hero’s brother and an important role in the film.

The film is directed by debutant Krishna Raam who has assisted KS Ravikumar and Vikraman before.Srikanth Deva has done the music for this action film. “I am happy to be doing a complete action film. The director seems to be more of Dharini’s assistant in the way he has handled the action in this film,” says Shakthi. Ramya plays a village and city girl while Meera Vasudevan plays her sister and Adhitya’s wife. Nasser, Santhanam and Sachu bring up the cast.

The producers K Murlidharan and V Swaminathan played the perfect hosts as Rama Narayanan released the audio received by Hansraj Saxena. According to Aditya who has films like Billa to his credit, “Shakthi and I play brothers and our chemistry has really worked out well to the advantage of the film.”

Abirami Ramanathan in his speech appealed to K Murlidharan to give up talk of retiring from production, a sentiment re-iterated by members on the dais. “The LMM banner stands for largest movie makers also,” he quipped. “Its one production house that gave us films even when prospects were low in the industry and kept the industry going.”

Kastoori Raja praised the producers saying, “They are known to keep no dues to anyone and are very systematic in their approach.’

Shakti came in for praise from all as well. Said Kastoori Raja, “Shakti has the same spirit and energy as his father P Vasu” while Bhagyraja remarked, “The film may be late but it’s the latest for Shakti.”

Vikraman praised his former assistant Krishna Raam saying, “A good assistant should be hardworking, genuine and have a good story sense. Krishna Raam has all three pre requisites and I am sure this film will do well and like Sachin scored a double century against South Africa this Aatanayan too will be the real man of the match.”
