Naan
Kadavul
audio
was
launched
amidst
a
well
gathered
crowd
at
Sathyam
Cinemas
on
the
auspicious
day
of
New
year
2009.
Actors
Vikram
and
Surya,
veteran
film
makers
Mani
Ratnam
and
Balu
Mahendra,
Poet
Vaali,
Music
composer
Uttam
Singh,
Producers
Ramanarayanan,
K.Muralidharan,
Pyramid
Swaminathan,
Kalaipuli
Sekharan
and
K.S
Srinivasan
were
present
at
the
function
and
hailed
the
extra
ordinary
efforts
of
ace
film
maker
Bala,
the
director
of
Naan
Kadavul.
The
audio
of
the
film
was
launched
by
Vikram
and
Surya,
the
actors
who
got
a
new
lease
of
life
through
Bala.
A
stunning
trailer
of
the
film
was
shown
to
the
invitees
and
the
press
at
the
beginning
of
the
event.
Vaali,
the
poet
who
wrote
all
the
songs
in
this
film,
said,
"Bala
is
a
man
of
few
words,
as
he
likes
to
let
his
films
do
all
the
talking.
To
use
a
Rajinikanth
punchline,
Late
aa
Vandhalum
latestaa
Varum!"
Mani
Ratnam
in
his
special
address
commented,
"There
used
to
be
the
K.Balachander,
then
the
Bharatiraja
era,
and
today
there
is
the
Bala
influence
in
Tamil
cinema.
I
came
for
this
function
for
Bala…"
Vikram
said,
"Bala
is
an
institution
by
himself.
I
like
the
trailer
it
has
the
Bala
stamp
of
quality.
Arya
is
going
to
reach
dizzy
heights
with
this
film."
Surya
remarked,
"The
trailer
shows
that
it
has
the
Bala
touch
of
class.
Arya
may
have
worked
over
two
years
on
the
project
and
definitely
he
will
gain
from
this
experience.
A
Bala
film
is
an
event
by
itself
and
need
not
have
a
Diwali
or
Pongal
for
its
release.
I'm
a
great
fan
of
Raja
sir
and
this
is
one
more
master
piece
by
the
maestro…"
Arya
commented,
"For
over
two
years
people
had
questions
only
about
my
long
beard
and
why
the
film
is
taking
so
long.
Now
that
the
film
is
over
and
I
have
taken
off
my
beard
for
Vishnu's
Sarwam,
the
same
people
are
asking
me
when
will
the
film
release?"
Pooja:
"I'm
completely
at
loss
of
words.
I
owe
everything
to
Bala
sir
for
giving
me
a
once
in
a
life
time
role.
Bala
is
a
great
human
being…
Bala
sir,
I
love
you
so
much!"
Balu
Mahendra
said,
"Bala
is
like
my
eldest
son,
then
there
is
Vetri
Maaran,
all
of
them
have
enriched
Tamil
cinema."
Uttam
Singh,
the
popular
Hindi
composer
proudly
said,
"I
helped
Ilayaraja
with
some
North
Indian
flavour
for
the
music
of
the
film.
I
have
worked
with
Ilayaraja
for
the
last
30
years.
He
is
the
only
complete
Indian
composer
who
can
bring
about
some
changes
to
Indian
music."
Bala
refused
to
sit
on
the
stage
along
with
others.
Towards
the
end
of
the
function
his
students
Vikram
Surya
and
Arya
went
down
the
dais
and
dragged
him
on
to
stage.
When
the
mike
was
thrust
into
his
hands,
all
that
Bala
said
was,
"I
thank
everybody
who
has
turned
up
for
the
function" and
left
the
stage.
