Parthiban’s Valentine Reflection: A Shelved Film, Lost Love, and Lasting Friendship

Director and actor Parthiban shared a nostalgic post on Instagram on Valentine’s Day, recalling a film titled “Kadhal Ozhiga” that was shelved years ago. The film, which was to be directed by Seeman and composed by Ilaiyaraaja, was abandoned, but their friendship remained strong.

Parthiban mentioned that although their political views differ—Periyar stating “There is no God” and Seeman asserting “There is no Periyar”—he respects Seeman’s unwavering voice. He humorously remarked that love, like political ideologies, changes over time.

Reflecting on love, he compared an old love fading away to Periyar’s photo on Seeman’s wall—once admired but now ignored. He reminisced about past feelings and shared poetic musings on how lost love might thrive elsewhere. Encouraging those heartbroken, he suggested that even pain can give birth to poetry.

Concluding with poetic lines, Parthiban conveyed that while love doesn’t last for everyone, it lives on in different forms. His post resonated with the bittersweet nature of relationships, urging people to move forward with hope.
