“Aaha veenaiyil ezhuvadhu venu ganama? Thiruvaduthuraiyin Thodi ragama…” These are the starting lines of a song penned by Chief Minister M Karunanidhi for the film ‘Pen Singam’, based on one of his novels.

Says the movie’s director Bali Srirangam, “when we asked Kalaignar to pen lyrics for a duet, he immediately accepted the request and to our surprise, he completed the task in 10 minutes. Everyone including music composer Deva and producer Arumuganeri S P Murugesan were awestruck by it.”

“Apart from Kalaignar, other poets including Vaali, Vairamuthu and Pa Vijay have also contributed for the film. Forty per cent of the shoot is over and we are happy with the outcome so far,” he adds.

With Tollywood actor Udaykiran ad Meera Jasmine in lead roles, ‘Pen Singam’ is based on Karunanidhi’s novel ‘Surulimalai’, which he wrote nearly four decades ago. “The script is classic as well as contemporary,” says Bali Srirangam.
