‘Every human being is a warrior. He / she has to undergo certain struggles in life’. This universal truth forms the crux of Sasikumar’s forthcoming film ‘Poraali’, which is set to hit the screens soon.
The ‘Subramanyapuram’ director has produced this movie besides playing one of the lead roles, with his good friend Samuthirakani wielding the megaphone. Popular Telugu hero Allari Naresh is playing an important role, while the film marks the comeback of Swathi of ‘Subramanyapuram’ fame. Vasundhara and Nivedha are also there. Music is by Sundar C Babu of ‘Nadodigal’ fame.
Recently Sasikumar declared that he would not release ‘Poraali’in Sri Lanka. He has requested others in the industry too to take a similar stand.
“An important income channel of Sri Lanka can be blocked if Kodambakkam (Tamil cinema) wants to do so. Cinema and tourism are the backbones of Sri Lankan economy. When the government there allows Tamil movies only after deleting pro-Tamil dialogues, why should we release our films there” he questions.
On ‘Poraali’, Sasikumar says, “Poraali is about four persons, who have to cross certain hurdles. All of them come together at one point of time. The rest has been told in a convincing and interesting way, or that is what I believe.”
Samuthirakani, clearing the air about the idea the movie’s title has created, says, “Though the title signifies struggle, there will be no violence in Poraali. But the scenes would make the audience feel the pain of violence.”
The director, who is now a popular actor too, adds: “My passion is to direct movies. But I like acting as well. I will balance both the trades. And I am happy to work with Sasikumar again and again. Our association will continue in future too. Poraali will prove this point after Subramanyapuram, Nadodigal and Easan.”
With these friends claiming high about their new venture, expectations are high on ‘Poraali’. The wait is set to end by the end of this month, when the film sees the light of the day. Welcome ‘Poraali’, we say.
