The audio launch of Sathya Movies and Sathya Jyothi Films Jayam Kondan was a glittering and well conducted affair at the Sathyam Cinemas. Attended by eminent luminaries from Kollywood, the function was compered by TV artiste Brinda Das.

Producer T G Thyagarajan welcomed the guests and thanked the entire cast and crew for their efforts in the film. The stage saw a heavy duty turn out of dignitaries including Rama Narayan, KRG, RM Veerappan, Mani Ratnam, Kamal Hassan, Sarath Kumar, Abhirami Narayanan, Kalaipuli G Sekaran and Jeyam Ravi apart from the cast and crew including director Kannan, cinematographer Balasubramaniam, and actors Vinay, Bhavana and Lekha.

A riveting trailer and two songs were shown. The music is by Vidyasagar. The two songs included one picturised in lush fields on Bhavana ( Sutrum varum bhoomi..) and a duet on the lead pair ( Naan marainda suryanai…). Dances are by Brinda and Gayathri Raghuraman who debuts with this film. Lekha plays the role of Vinay’s sister and the trailer seemed to show a packed –with- punch storyline.

Jeyam Ravi gave an emotional speech about being honoured to be on the same dais with his idol Kamal Hassan and explained how Mani Ratnam’s simplicity had made him changed his own attitude in life. Lekha managed to speak in Tamil for a bit while Vinay did try a little. For Bhavana it was the first time she was attending an audio launch of her movie since for her earlier films she had always been traveling.

RM Veerappan gave a long and nostalgic speech and congratulated the producers for their discipline and production values. Kamal stressed that the experience of the pioneering producers in Kollywood was invaluable and must be tapped by the coming generations.
