In an exclusive interview to musicmazaa, Jagannath, director of 'Raman Thediya Seethai' opened up on his experiences working for 'Raman Thediya Seethai' produced by Moser Baer, work ethics brought in by the corporate world and his admiration for mentor Cheran.
Speaking about 'Raman Thediya Seethai' the director said, 'this is the third film I am directing after 'Puthiya Geethai' starring Vijay and 'Kodambakkam' with Nanda. I loved every bit working for the film and I am thrilled at directing my mentor Cheran'.
'Raman Thediya Seethai' stars Cheran in the lead role along with five heroines in the form of Vimala Raman, Kaarthiga, Navya Nair, Ramya Nambeesan and Gajala and follows the journey of the protagonist in search of a wife with the characteristics he admires. Pasupathy and Nithin Sathya play important roles along with Manivannan and others.
'Though the tile of the film is the same as the MGR-Jayalalitha starrer that was released decades ago, the story is fresh and original harping on the experiences people have during the time they get married. I am sure all people who watch the film can relate to the story. That will be the strength of the film', said the director.
'Since the film itself is a journey, we have shot in 83 locations for 60 scenes. There will be no repetition of shots and even locations, and that'll work in the film's favor' said a confident Jagannath. The director was all praise for his technicians saying that the editor Kola Baskaran has been simply extraordinary and the music of Vidyasagar as refreshing and appropriate. The film has been shot extensively in Nagerkoil.
Talking about Moser Baer, the director said corporate ethics like punctuality and streamlined planning is wonderful for the industry and has brought about the much needed discipline to the industry.
'Raman Thediya Seethai' is undergoing post-production work and will release soon.
