Another son-rise in Kollywood
The audio launch of Surya - One Man Army saw a galaxy of veterans and young stars, directors, producers and technicians. Noted stunt director Jaguar Thangam turns producer and a director with this film in which he is launching son Vijay Chiranjeevi as hero.
The audio launch was well attended with a large number of film luminaries like Rama Narayan, Sivasakthipandian, Kaja Mydeen, Anbalaya Prabhakaran, Perarasu, M.Raja, Sathyaraj, S Ve Sekar, Raghava Lawrence, Khushboo, Sibiraj, Bharath, Jeyam Ravi, Uma Shankar Babu and Rambo Rajkumar amongst others.
Three songs were screened which included a duet, a kuthu number and an action song (run-of-the-mill ingredients in a mass masala entertainer). The young hero seems to have done some remarkable stunt scenes a la Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. These will surely entice youngsters to the theatres.
The event witnessed some emotional moments as each guest described his close links with the stunt director and the hard work he had put in to finance and make this movie. Jeyam Ravi said that it reminded him of the tough days when his own father had launched him in movies.
Sathyaraj praised the composure of the hero and his ability to speak so well on the dais, a task that is tougher than acting before the camera. The veteran praised the way the hero had remembered his mother and called her to the dais and touched the feet of both parents on stage.
Raghava Lawrence remarked that it was indeed a great moment for a stunt technician to make his son a hero and recalled his own days of struggle when he used to wipe cars for Stunt master Super Subrayan.
Perarasu paid the biggest compliment when he remarked, “Jackie Chan came to Chennai but he did not leave. He is here in the form of Vijay Chiranjeevi”.
