The audio release of Kanimozhi, Sona’s maiden production venture with Siva’s Amma Creations, was held in Anna Arivalayam today (July 22, 2010). The first copy of the audio was released by the Chief Minister and received by Vijay. Earlier, the film’s lead Jai brought the air-bound CD that was attached to a hot air balloon to the dais and handed it over to the CM.
The audio release was peppered with political referential speeches by both CM and Vijay. To start with, Vijay termed the CM's family as the celebrated family that stands next only to the Nehru family when it comes to political families in India. He went on to sing praises of the supposedly powerful names in the family, namely Udhayanidhi, Dayanidhi and Arulnidhi. Vijay also said that the title Kanimozhi is also very powerful.
He also narrated an incident as to how a family that met with an accident was rescued by the CM’s ambulance service upon dialing 108. “Whereas the woman among the victims was praying to God for rescue, a passer-by advised her to dial 108 and call for an ambulance,” Vijay mentioned.
The CM, who spoke after Vijay, replied to the actor’s remark saying that there are some family-less people who wouldn’t like his comment.
The movie’s trailer and three songs were screened. Interestingly, the movie has been shot in 96 days in 47 rolls, maintaining a strict regime to stick to the release date of August 6. “It’s something only a big production company like AVM managed to achieve,” an insider source said. Sona’s production banner will be called Unique Productions. Kanimozhi stars Jai and Shahnaz and will be released on August 6.
