Question 21

Arjun :

Quote:

1. What was your feeling when you got an opportunity to do music direction for ur first film ?
2. Are u comfortable in giving chances to youngsters/contestents from reality shows ? Whats ur take on reality shows ?

RR:
1.

Like i cant just belive what i heard from anwar.
He hugged me and said "chotta mumbai is yours"...i was totally knocked out...!!!

2.

very much and why not...but they should be really talented and should be gotten over with the reality show jaadas some usually possess.

Question 22

Navarannan :

Quote:

There has been lots of debates going on, the young generation of actors in Malayalam film industry not getting fair shake to prove themselves. Do you think the same is happening with the new generation of music directors also?

Thats a question..hmm..

ok let me tell you this way.

Young composers are getting offers but not the way they can prove their mettle.
How many composers get a project where music has some sort of importance in the film as a whole?They are getting projects,but they are just projects...for the sake of adding one more to the list of films in malayalam industry.
But i still feel there are few sections of lobbies where the industry music-definition is
hooked up.Unless it gets evenly spread out more on the basis of talent rather than
contacts and relations,the scene wont get better.There are lot of young composers sitting there jobless while a fortunate not to awesome bunch is churning out films one after the other.But im sure and optimistic that the whole scenario will change within 2 years.

Question 23

Harikuttan :

Quote:

My Q1: Whom in malayalam industry do you consider as a rival?
Q2: Who is your favorite director (Malayalam & Hindi)?

RR :
1. Rival is someone who competes for the same space.
I dont think 2 composers can fight for the same space.The reason is - each composer has a different style and comfort zones and different set of music lovers who yearn for their creations.But the truth is,however nicely you try to put it,there does exist some kind of rivalry.As far as you dont go and sntach someone's project,i dont think you are rivaling someone.In my case,atleast 3-4 times,such incidences have occured.
Ill give you an eg :
A producer and cameraman decided to have my music in a project(very recently).
They engaged the prod controller to call me up and fix my time and budget(basically to commission me for the project).After 2-3 days the producer asks the prod.controller that if he contacted me.He replied he did, and that i was busy with some other projects,plus my rates would be kinda non-affordable for the project setup.And they dropped the idea of using my music for their project.This cameraman calls me up later and enquired to me about this.That was first time,i even knew about the existance of the project.That prod.controller had not even contacted me.
There was another experience where the same prod.controller snatched another project that was suppose to come to me.So i understand such rivalries and internal politics do exist.All you gotta do is "Do your own thing...do it loud and clear..."
Musically speaking,i listen to most albums i can grab my hands that releases in malayalam.Just to know what other composers are upto and whats new going on.If the competition is healthy...its actually very good for the music lovers...coz the SCENE IS HOTTING UP...AND LOT OF NEW MUSIC IS IN THE COOKING!!!

2. From people i worked with in malayalam its shyamaprasad(not to soap him).
From others its hmm..Sathyan anthikad for his feel good film making style

Hindi its got to be MANIRATNAM

Question 24
Double chankan :

Quote:

the first celebrity chat our guest was Ranjith Shankar, director of Passenger. He is a s/w engineer and found time b/w his career to dive in to the world of cinema and then come up with a Passenger.
You were also a engineer in UK, but put in ur papers and attempted to be a full time musician.
1. Were you not afraid of the risk in your decision, it could make/break your life.
2. Success/recognition has come pretty late to you in the sense that you were always labelled as a "fast song" guy, even though you made a lovely melody in TIME. Did you lose heart at any point of time, and thought of returning to your career.

RR :
1.
I actually did not think about the risk involved.It was more like a LET ME DO IT..SKY IS THE LIMIT kind of attitude.But only later did i came to know that it was one hell of a
plunge...a plunge into a concrete river...totally flat...lol.

But all these years i enjoyed one thing..making music...the whole process gave me the energy to go on...!!!

2.
Many a times...yeah what do u think im a simple..normal human being too .
There were many times when i had seen many insulting messages even in internet forums or even discussions.But the one thing that helped me not lose myself was the fact that...YEAH I DID KNOW HOW TO MAKE MUSIC THAT WILL TOUCH THE HEARTS...ONLY THIS PEOPLE ARE NOT REALISING IT BECAUSE I DID NOT GET THE RIGHT PROJECT..."to be frank...all these years...i was waiting for the right one...and with RITU..insha allah...it has happened to a big extent...THANK GOD.

Question 25

Sethu Madhavan :

Quote:

rahulji chettikulangara remix thankaludae decision aayirunno atho aarenkillum ee idea paranjathano??????

RR:
no it was the director's take or rather suggestion

Question 26

Waterloo :

Quote:

Thanks a lot rahulji for your efforts
A small Q from my side:

1,How do you work on the BGM for films??..Do you hear the whole story first or only the situations??ilayaraga is the one who comes to mind when it comes to BGM and he has elevated many a mediocre films to watchables ones through his BGM alone..what do u say??
2,Who s your favorite Composer??( ex like morricone,john williams,bernstein)
3,How do you rate ennio morricone ??

RR : 1.
I SIT WITH MY DIRECTOR AND WATCH THE WHOLE FILM AND DECIDE WHERE MUSIC IS REQUIRED AND WHERE IT IS NOT AT ALL REQUIRED
WE WORKOUT SIMPLE THEMES FIRST FOR DIFFERENT SITUATIONS AND MOODS
WE MAKE THEMES FIRST
AND AFTER THAT I SIT WITH THE VISUALS TO MAKE ELABORATE ARRANGEMENTS
WHOLE OF RITU WAS COMPLETELY PROGRAMMED BY ME IN 8 DAYS.

2.
ALAN MENKEN IS MY FAV COMPOSER.I ALSO LIKE HARRY-GREGSON WILLIAMS
3 .
IM NO ONE TO RATE A LEGEND LIKE ENNIO MORRICONE.THERE IS STILL AN OCEAN TO LEARN TO EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT SUCH LEGENDARY COMPOSERS HAVE EVEN DONE

RR : My favorite questions.

Quote:

Tony : This question may seem funny. But your answer can make it meaningful. Imagine Alphonse and Alex Paul is sinking in a river, you are standing on the shore with a boat. You can help only one person. Whom do you like to help? Please say the reason too.
Saji :

RR :
I liked saji's first 2 questions as it needed a detailed expln, i enjoyed goin on a nostalgic trip. I liked Tony's last question as it was really funny. So above 3 are my picks.

Thanks a lot RahulRaj for the chat

the sad news was coming that lalettan is not there in the movie and
planning to make a 3D movie rather than the original theme without
super star mohanlal and super comedian jagathi sreekumar....

Without asokan and appukkuttan yodha is zero i would say....
it would have been a wonderful news for us if you had announced
the sequel with same theme......

can u give details about the project sir if the news is correct???

Regards,

VIJESH.

As of now all I can say is that it is just a big rumor. All I can say is that if I were to do the sequel, it will be with most of the original cast and some new ones offering fresher twists to the story. That said, I am against sequels in general.

3.What kind of movie u were dreaming to gift towards the audience before u bcome a director?
4.Can you differentiate bollywood and malluwood of this generation?Which is better quality wise.according to u sir..

Thank u sir.....

1. Horror was never a favorite genre of mine though I loved OMEN when I was young. During my sojourn in Mumbai, I was lucky to see quite a bit of J horror or Japanese horror which really impressed me. More than blood and gore it was on a great story and creation of greater moods. That set me thinking …

2. Till 2010 I have commitments in Hindi. Have films which I have to produce for my company too here. But yes, if I do come across a great idea would love to do a mal film in 2011. In fact I am in talks too with a few emerging writers in kerala.

3. Always, something different. Did not want to tell stories the way it was being told. Sometimes when I look back, maybe some of my best films in mal was ahead of its times in terms of thought and style.

4. Even in bollywood the best of film technicians are from kerala or tamil nadu!

2) How did you spot AR Rahman (then Dileep)? What made you offer Yodha to him?

1. Per se actors in mal are more gifted, committed, down to earth and more professional than the ones in bollywood!

2. He used to do numerous ad jingles as Dilip, then. They were really wonderful and that is how my interaction with Rahman started. From ad jingles to films was nothing but a natural progression.

1. If I am not wrong, your debut film in hindi was a horror flick Sandhya with Jackie Shroff and Ashutosh Rana, and I believe it has still not got a theatrical release. Is this film complete/can we someday see a dvd release of the film?

2. It has been a while since your last film in Malayalam. As a director, who bucked the then trends in malayalam cinema to make a totally new kind of actioner in Yodha, can we expect a technically slick horror film in Malayalam from you since it has been one of your favorite genres?

1. My first film in Hindi was Zor toplining sunny Deol and Sushmita Sen. Sandhya was to be my second film. More than horror it was a dark thriller. Not too sure about the other details as it is the producer who decides.

2. The perception that Horror is my fav’t genre is quite wrong. I have dabbled in almost all the genres excepting maybe family socials. I make a conscious attempt to try out different genres so that every film of mine is different. Would def do one in mal but whether it would be a horror is open to conjecture at this point.

Your brother has come up with the idea of making Yodha 2. Is it due to the recent trend of making sequels. Why is it that you decided not to direct it. How did the whole idea of Yodha 2 take shape.

As said before, I have no plans and as far as I know, the whole talk of yodha sequel is just hot air

My Questions

1. Why this huge gap in Malayalam films? Is it a loss of interest with Malayalam films or the budgetary freedom/flexibility that Bollywood can afford? In fact Malayalam films have lost Priyan and Sangeeth to Hindi for too long now.

2. Is Yodha 2 in the pipeline? In fact any Malayalam film at all in the pipeline?

3. Which has been your most satisfying project till date? Why?

4. Given an option to do a movie with a script from one of the following writers who would you pick and why? MT Vasudevan Nair, Padmarajan, Lohithadas, Sreenivasan, Priyadarshan.

1. Feel quite comfortable here in bollywood now. Your films reach out to a wider audience and coz of that u have better budgets too. And now I am also producing high concept small budget films with younger technicians. Yes, am on the look out for a good subject for mal, either to direct or produce in time.

2. Not till end of 2010.

3. Yodha definitely coz I had the privilege of working with two of our greatest actors Mohan Lal and Jagathy. Also the interaction with Rahman.

4. I have always admired the writing of Padmarajan. He was a kind of inspiration. Lohitadas scripts and films have left a deep impression but don’t think I could have done justice to his subjects. M.T sir too dealt with relations and happenings of an era which I do not fathom. Love the sense of humour in sreenivasans script. So it would have to be Padmarajan and then sreenivasan.

2. Do you think multistarrer movies like twenty20 are the way forward in malayalam industry?

1. Lack of good stories and the inability of makers to take risks! Today with advancement made in film making, I don’t think budgets, ever, can be a constraint for a maker who dares to be different.

2. No comment. I don’t think a plethora of stars would ever take the industry forward.

2.Do you think due to the appalling state our Malayalam cinema is in , its going to have a sad demise like bengali cinema??Can you suggest a few ways to resurrect malayalam cinema to its past glory?

3.If you are asked to make a film out of a novel and said budget is not a constraint, which novel would you choose to film and why??

4.The recent trend in hindi films is to locate some exotic foreign location , rope in a few actors with 6 packs or more, cast a skinny heroine , pump in 30-40 crore and just start shooting.. what do you have to say of such degradation??

thanks

1. Difficult question. There is no one such film but definitely the influence of a great many films cumulatively. Whilst growing up, used to be a great fan of Sethumadhavan sir, Vincent Sir, Bharathan sir and then Padmarajan sir. These people along with my Dad are the influences that pushed me into films though entering films was never my priority in the beginning.

2. Newer idea and fresher talents should be encouraged and more than that the hunger to do something new should be present in the younger generation of film makers.

3. Just a novel would not suffice. Someone has to present me with a great screenplay. A good book does not translate into a good film automatically.

4. That such degradation is making money is of concern.

My questions to you are:

1.) Offlate in Malayalam flm industry, we have seen some of the well made and critically acclaimed movies like Thirakatha, Pakalnakshatram bomb at the Box Office. At the same time, some of the "not so gud" movies have done well and made profits. Of course, liking a movie is subjective, but do you think there is significant shift in the kind of cinemas malayalees watch/like these days? If yes, is this trend disturbing?

2.) Lot of superhit malayalam movies of late 80s & 90s have been remade in Hindi. Some clicked and some dint. Is it the lack of original ideas/scripts that make such talented directors go for remakes? Are you in favour of movie remakes?

3.) This question has already been asked by Zooshtray. In our country, there is no derth of talent. But to identify a talent early and give him/her the right break is not always easy. How did you spot young Dileep (now AR Rahman)? What made you offer him Yodha??

Thank you :-)

1. Well I guess the audiences get the films that they deserve. So if u say good films are not running, it just means that there is no audiences for it! It is very disheartening and disturbing. The only solution is to make good films at restrictive budgets. The will however is not to struggle nowadays. Everything should be easy and convenient. Where is the maker like John Abraham today?

2. Not for me. It makes a lot of sense when the criteria is only monetary.

3. He and me used to associate ourselves on advertisements. In fact we did a few jingles with him and film was a natural progression considering the wonderful stuff he used to compose even for jingles!

(2) Yodha was one of the ultimate entertainer in malayalam. We were looking forward for more and more of that kind..But you escaped to bollywood. why? and when are you coming back?

1. We had an absolutely normal childhood. All of us did the things most kids used to do those days. My dad never compelled us to do anythings specific. He let us discover for ourselves what we wanted. Films was never a career option in my mind it just happened.

2. When the films u love does not run and the films u hate run, u know something is wrong totally. When that happened to me, I left. Bollywood offered wider audiences and better budgets. Would love to do mal films soon, but first need to find an inspiring subject.

But sorry to say I'm not a huge fan of your hindi films.. Why did u take a break frm malayalam industry? We really miss u here..

2. Your experience directing mohanlal..

3. We want more good movies from you, I really hope that Yodha 2 isn't just to cash in the hype.. What's the current status of Yodha 2?

1. Survival!

2. The Ultimate

3. Nothing.

2. even though the odds are against you, you are planning Yodha-2, when most of the sequels fail to meet the expectations, why do you want to take a risk ? is it because of the hype and good initial that a sequel could bring ?

3. how easy is to direct a remake ? (nirnayam from the fugitive).

4. We have lost a set of good technicians to Bollywood (Priyadarshan, Santhosh Sivan, Sabu Cyril and you). what made you guys to switch film industry ?

5. do you discuss a story with your brother during the initial stages of a film ?

1. Would love to work with Lal sir anyday! But the film need to be something very special for both him and me.

2. Not thinking of sequels at all.

3. Easier than doing an original, I guess

4. Better budgets, wider reach

5. Some times but not for all films. It is the same with him as welll. During meetings we do discuss basic ideas of the concepts we are working on.

thanks

Santosh introduced me to him. Unbelievable. Check out the yodha back ground score!

Being the captain to some of the best family thrillers of 90s (like Daddy, Gandharvam, Nirnayam) and an award winning children's film Johny (I hope I am right...am I??), you had all the chances of becoming one among the most wanted directors of today's Malayalam film industry. Fortunately or unfortunately, you shifted your attention to Bollywood. And surprisingly, instead of thrillers, you received more acceptance for comedy flicks like KKHH (and apparently, I had some of my best hilarious moments ever with KKHH

) and ASMM. So here goes my question..

Yodha was indeed a fresh, risky and challenging effort. But since the movie was made in a regional language, the span of appreciation, fame, opportunities and popularity were limited. But you got everything from Bollywood.. even though you couldn't deliver something like Yodha. So how do you feel..? Being both a filmmaker and a careerist, which one is better in your opinion..? To resist yourself in a regional language with cult films and becoming an uncrowned king there(with limited scope and opportunities) or to be satisfied as a run-of-the mill director in the Tinsel town getting more fame, popularity and remuneration..?

Well it is an interesting question.

In Bollywood I tried my hands at different genres but failed initially in all till I succeeded in comedy! I was quick to realize that in Bollywood success is the only key to success. So my idea is to make successful films, be it in any genre, consolidate my position and make films that appeal to me later or produce films with younger talents. Unfortunately, I don’t see such visions bearing fruit in Malayalam. So the shift and today am quite happy with the move. It was more a practical decision at that time and I loved the challenges it bought forth. Having to start from scratch in a new industry.

At a time we used to make fun of tamil cinema and we were proud about our cinema for the content in it. But nowadays scenario is getting reversed. I feel malayalam cinema is going down in both makers's and viewers' standards. Main thing is people are not getting good pictures with nice presentation which we saw in Yodha, Chitram and all once. For creating comedy nowadays writers are going for double meanings and buffooneries. People are forced to enjoy such movies only because they are not getting good films.

At the same time a bunch of talented directors moving to bollywood. Dont you think you people have a personal commitment to the language and the audience where you people got the name and fame? what made you to make such a decision? Is it for fame? Why are you not active in Malayalam?

For any creator to survive there needs to be appreciation. When that fails they are confused. That confusion makes for compromise. That is what is happening in Malayalam. People are trying to make stories that they think people will like as against making films that you like!

My decision to move was based on the fact that films I did not care much for was running and what I liked, wasn’t. At that point I thought I have lost judgement. Bollywood offered wider audiences and greater budgets at that time.

Did you approch anybody other than Raghuvaran for the titile role??

Well for my first film i was sure that I did not want Mohan Lal or Mamooty. Wanted to approach them after proving myself. So the search began. Was impressed with Raghu in Sathya and Anjali. Liked the diverse roles he played and knew that he would justify the role.

My Question.

What is your take on the younger generation of directors in malayalam film world?
Who is/are your favorite(s)?

Haven’t seen much of malayalam films to pass judgements. I loved some of Lal jose films as well as Blessey’s films

2.You burst in to the Malayalam movie scene with quite a good movies,but slowly faded out and tried your luck in Bollywood. However I do not think that you did full justice to your potential.

3.Given a chance to alter one decision you made in your life so far,what would be your choice?

1. Mmmm … I let other people judge me. My assessment of myself is very low.

2. Am still trying

3. I wish I had known before hand that I was to be a film maker!

2) Are you planning for any Malayalam films in the future?
3) What do you feel about malayalam cinema as a whole at this juncture?

1. Well cross cutting does help in pacing and also gives an adrenalin rush to the audience. But it all depends on what the subject demands.

2. Not next year but if something inspiring comes across 2011

3. No comments. It is not for me to be judgemental. It is a ? for audiences to decide.

Thanks.

Bye all.

play their part only in acting the role given to them? Do you involve more into the
films which u had been part of?

3. What is the dignity of becoming an actress? What do you feel when you hear news like
porn video clips of leading actresses and other gossips?

4. Your performances in last few films like paradeshi, kerala cafe, paleri manikyam (these
are which i watched) are just uncomparable to the performances in the earlier part of
your career. How you moulded yourself into this new Swetha? Who all helped you in this?

5. Tell some instance when u became really jealous of someone (personally and professionally)

6. How long you would like to reamin in the film industry? Have you ever been victim of the
politics in the industry and felt like leaving it forever?

7. Tell some negatives of the industry, which u were always worried or feared about

8. Havent seen you dancing in many films(though the role of dance master in rock n roll)
Are you not a dancer? (which will be quite unusual with actresses)

9. What you like the most in yourself?

Wishing you all success both in your professional and personal life.
Thanks a lot for being the part of this celebrity chat of SS

1. I do totally. This is like any other industry and majority of the people here are good

2. As an actor, I go by the director's wishes. I don't get his/her shoes at all

3. As you said, most of them are gossips. I am very proud to be an entertainer.

4. These movies had very powerful and meaningful characters; something that perfectly suited my persona. Earlier films portrayed me as a young girl. I think all credit goes to respective directors who believed that I could do a role well. Of course, well wishers like you and my family always lent meaningful support

5. I am jealous of all great Hollywood actors

6. As long as I enjoy every bit of it…never been victim

7. There are far too many positives to notice any negative

8. I am not a trained dancer but would love to dance

9. Being positive

2. All those years of downtime, were you in hope and search of opportunities that may prove your caliber nearer or later? How did you prepare yourself waiting to welcome such a transformation?

3. Which film would you consider as your comeback film/second innings in Malayalam? Kakkakuyil or Thanthra?
Of early times, other than 'Anaswaram' and 'Nakshathrakoodaram' which among yours is your favorite and why?

4. Can you please recall those moments of grooming where Aishwarya Rai and Susmitha Sen shared your hopes and dreams? Are you successful in maintaining all such contacts till now?

5. "I wonder how an actor like Shwethachechi is able to be so humble, social and unpretentious to all her co-workers inspite of being a Metro girl, a supermodel and a Miss India competent, that too with Aishwarya Rai and Susmitha Sen"

Well..these are quotes taken from the latest interview with one among the leading female actors of Malayalam. So, do you think behaving yourselves appealing to others is an art/tact? How far did your life in the tinsel town contribute towards framing your character in such manner?

6. During the early 90s, a serial called 'Ladies Hostel' was aired on TVM Doordarshan. Were you a part of that? I remember the credit titles where the leading lady character was played by an actress called Shwetha. Sorry if its a mistake..but could you please share your views on the relevance of miniscreen in promoting celebrities of today? What was your experiences hosting the show 'Star wars'?

7. Do you have any plans to wield the megaphone?

1. None at all, Fontu. I am full fontu person and happy with whatever comes my way

2.I was busy with modelling and other assignments but was never worried about what I was not getting. Now that I am in Malayalam cinema, I am enjoying this phase as well

3. Thanthra. Anaswaram as it was my first movie with a big cast

4.We are not in touch personally anymore but socially we acknowledge each other

5. Much like my acting, my conduct is equally spontaneous. If I look humble and unpretentious, I am glad and thank my parents and god for keeping firmly on the ground

6. Yeah, that was me. TV is a bigger a medium to be in. Star wars was a great experience and enjoyed every bit. It also gave me my first award

7. none as of now

(3) Who are your role models? How are you trying to follow the paths of these persons: (a) In modeling (b) in cinema acting and (c) in life?

1. Both..

2. I want to learn swimming, horse riding, playing chess…many more

3. Modelling and cinema: None
Life: my father is my role model

(leave the compensation factor..

)

2)Your best character in your career and why ? (please share with us the challenges (if any) you faced )

3) Recently in two movies Paleri Maanikyam and Paradeshi your characters were very old ... how much comfortable were you in taking up those roles (specially in paradesi.. tooo old

).. Those movies were with Big Ms... are you ready to take up older woman roles in small budget movies also..? any fear of you getting typed to such 'old age' roles only....?

4) how do you feel about your voice.. ? how much confident are you in dubbing your characters with your own voice...? (In paleri maanikyam I think Actress Zeenath dubbed for you ...)

5) I think in bollywood you only got chance to act in masala commercial movies... But in Malayalam you are getting a variety of roles to prove yourself (and you proved to be a good actress

)...Do you still love bollywood industry since it is all about popularity stuff..?? Bollywood has changed a lot now with a variety of movies... Do you hope for any chance to act in Bollywood movies again...? if so, would you compromise for any kind of roles in bollywood movies..like item number dance kind of stuff..?

1. A good character and the director; that's it

2. My first challenging role was Paradesi. The biggest task was to `deglamourise' myself and look appropriately aged for the role.

3. Not at all. I am doing a variety of roles these days if you notice my latest movies

4. I am planning to do dubbing very soon. I am confident of my voice as I do all my Hindi movies in my own

5. Of course I love Bollywood. If I get a good role, I would do it

3. What are the major future projects that you are looking forward to ?

4. You have done various performance oriented roles off-late.. Among that which of them do you consider as your best performance to date ?

5. Were your family supportive when you decided to be a model and actress ? Tell us something about your family background...

6. Being active in both Malayalam and Hindi, what are your views on both the industries ?

1. I had won Ms Young India at Coimbatore in 1991 which was published widely. Mammootty and Jomon were making Anaswaram and they offered me a role. All of it happened so soon

2. Frankly speaking, I was numb; how a small-town girl would have reacted then?

3. Kayam is something that I am very excited about.

4. My first challenging role was Paradesi. The biggest task was to `deglamourise' myself and look appropriately aged for the role.

5. Of course yes. They nurture very middle class values, father is from Airforce and mother is a housewife. We enjoy perferct democracy at home

6. Malayam cinema is very realistic and gives you good character opportunities. Hindi is larger than life, giving priority to glamour

Do you think so? I think all my character roles have ben very well appreciated

We have Rahul Raj,Gopi Sundar, you, Mejo etc but no one has made a huge impact? Do you know the reason or is it just fate? Tell me your thoughts..

P.S - I really like your "Ilam Manju pole' song, not sure if many have heard it. Can that be made part of any of your upcoming movies?

They always think "wats new" wer as ppl here think "Wats hit". Im not sayin we're close to tamil music but then again,we're not that far either

Evrthn wil change,Just gv it sum more time

2. Mal.cinemayude promotion okke mattu language muvi's compare cheyyumbol poor aanu...What is your take on making the movie reach to a wider audience..? Does the music videos like the one you had did for pappi appacha a new step towards that?

2: Sheriyaanu,the reason is stil unaware to me. Wat i believe is that if the film is gud,it'l speak fr itself. I totaly agree with you though. Production houses shud concentrate more on new techniques for selling films. N more over,ppl don go to cinema halls now,they wait fr a pirated vcd or dvd to gt release cuz dats much cheaper than a whole family goin to the movie hall.Yes,Paapi vdo ws like dat. Wish more n more ppl did dat kind of stuff.
