When K.S.Ravikumar was busy with the direction of "Padayappa",
he received an invitation from Kamal . Kamal desired to act next under
his direction. The seed for 'Tenali' was planted on that day. And 'Tenali'
has become the much-awaited picture among the Deepavali releases.
The main attractions of this picture are as follows :-
K.S.Ravilkumar
is the producer of the film.
Three
famous heroines work together.
A.R.Rehman
has
ventured to score his music, without banging upon the lyrics of Vairamuthu
.
All these factors
have added to the publicity of this film. It is to be noted that K.S.Ravikumar
had consulted Rajini before donning the mantle of a producer. As Kamal
and Ravikumar decided to give importance to comedy, during the discussion on the
story, they selected Crazy Mohan to write the dialogues.
Kamal comes from Srilanka as a refugee, that too, as a mentally deranged person.
It has been dealt with in a Comic way as to how he tries to find a place in the
house and heart of Jyothika . Kamal acts a different manner in this film
as a fearful man. It took four months for Kamal K.S.Ravikumar and Crazy Mohan to
write down the script for this film in a hilarious fashion. A rat creates an
uproar in a scene for a few minutes. The trio have offered an enjoyable comic fare.
During the shootings of this film, Jothika and Devayani were seen at
loggerheads. Their mothers also fought with each other. When Meena made
her appearance, the other two heroines became silent, it seems. These incidents
have set a bad example in the history of Tamil film industry.
It is a matter to be welcomed that A.R.Rehman has introduced some new lyricists.
But the film unit is somewhat worried, as the songs have not yet captured the
imagination of the public. Anyhow, it is to be commended that each lyricists has
put in his best in his lyrics.
Kamal, K.R.Ravikumar and A.R.Rehman are three pillars of Tamil filmdom.
Everyone is eager to know how tasty would be 'Tenali', the feast they are going
to serve on the Deepavali day.
