Karunanidhi pens for ÂPen SingamÂ
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,December 08 2009]
ÂAaha veenaiyil ezhuvadhu venu ganama? Thiruvaduthuraiyin Thodi ragama  These are the starting lines of a song penned by Chief Minister M Karunanidhi for the film ÂPen SingamÂ, based on one of his novels.
Says the movieÂs director Bali Srirangam, Âwhen 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.Â
ÂApart 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, ÂPen Singam is based on KarunanidhiÂs novel ÂSurulimalaiÂ, which he wrote nearly four decades ago. ÂThe script is classic as well as contemporary, says Bali Srirangam.
