Thaalikaatha Kaliamman - On the floors
Not
very fussy about the banner, director or story, Prabhu has quite a few films in
his kit these days. The new one on the floor is where Prabhu is paired with
Kausalya. Also in the cast are Pandiarajan, Bhanupriya, Sanghavi, Manivannan,
Manorama, Rajan P. Dev, Mansurallikhan, Alex, V.A. Murthy, Vijayalakshmi,
Jyotilakshmi, Indu, Delapathi Dinesh, Suryakant and Ravi. Bhanupriya plays the
Goddess.
The film is directed by R. Somasunder who has
also penned the story and the screenplay. Somasunder has earlier wielded the
megaphone for films like 'Engal Kula Deivam', 'Uyir', and 'Amman
Koil Thiruvizha'. The dialogue is written by Kalaimani. Sirpi sets the tune
to lyrics written by
Kalidasan, Pazhnibharathi, Kalaikumar, Vijay and Ravishanker. Editing is by K.R.
Ramalingam, work by Kalai, and stunt choreography by Dalapathy Dinesh. A
shooting stint took place at 'Rekha House', Saidapet, where a scene was
picturised on Prabhu, Kousalya, Sanghavi and Manivannan. Yet another scene was
shot on Prabhu, Kousalya, Manorama and Mansuralikhan, Kousalya plays Karpagam an
orphan and heiress to a large fortune. Manorama plays her grandmother.
Prabhu as reporter
Mansuralikhan is Kalimuthu who has an eye on the fortune. Prabhu is a newspaper reporter who comes there to probe the mysterious goings on in the village. When he sees the rowdy harassing the girl, he saves her. A stunt scene was also picturised on Prabhu fighting with the villain and his henchmen.
Silukku singari
A
scene of a temple festival was also shot where Jyotilakshmi played 'Silukku
singari' and danced a sizzling number. A bomb suddenly explodes, the crowd
scatters and Prabhu and Pandiarajan (playing Chandrabose and Pandin
respectively) find themselves pulled away by some rough hands. And it's time for
another fight scene. Nivas canned the shots. The film's audiocassette of the
songs was released at a function held at the Andhra Club. Hero Satyaraj handed
over the first cassette to Film Chamber president K.R.
Appealing to all
Director Somasunder claims that the film will have humour, sentiment and computer graphics of a different kind, and will appeal to all classes. The film is produced by Sriyadav of Sunder Theatres, producers of such films as 'Ulavali', and 'Pass Mark'.
