Audio
launch
functions
are
generally
part
of
movie
promotions
where
the
entire
cast
and
crew
of
the
movie
come
together
on
a
single
stage.
It
is
also
the
time
where
the
Music
Director
of
the
movie
is
designated
to
hog
the
limelight.
However,
in
the
South
Indian
cine
industry,
the
leading
star
hero
takes
the
lion
share
of
the
stage
and
the
attention
due
to
the
immense
fan
base
and
adulation.
But
a
recent
audio
launch
function
in
Chennai
was
devoid
of
the
conventional
pattern.
Comedy
Star
Santhanam,
who
turned
on-screen
hero
of
late
is
all
geared
up
with
his
upcoming
movie
Sakka
Podu
Podu
Raja.
The
movie
has
been
directed
by
Sethuraman
and
bankrolled
by
VTV
Ganesh.
The
big
name
on
papers
is
that
of
the
Music
Director.
Though
a
debutant
in
the
said
capacity,
he
needs
no
introduction.
A
good
friend
to
VTV
Ganesh
and
kind
of
a
Godfather
to
Santhanam,
Simbu
aka
STR
is
making
his
debut
as
a
Music
Director
with
this
movie.
With
the
recent
controversies,
issues
and
allegations,
STR
has
made
his
first
stage
appearance
and
has
opened
up
to
the
media
and
fans.
But
the
best
part
was
when
the
controversial
star
was
morally
supported
by
his
friend
turned
competitor
turned
senior,
Dhanush.
Dhanush's
Humble
Gesture
Not
very
often
do
we
see
stars
coming
out
in
public
and
voicing
their
support
to
their
colleagues.
National
award-winning
actor,
Dhanush
stood
by
STR
throughout
the
function
and
even
in
his
life,
whom
he
considers
his
good
friend.
Dhanush
iterated
that
both
the
young
gen
stars
share
a
healthy
bond
and
are
there
mutually
at
their
time
of
need.
He
wish
to
see
fans
of
either
stars
to
be
the
same
way
and
support
them
with
an
appreciative
mind-set
which
not
only
helps
the
individuals
but
also
the
film
fraternity.
Dhanush
shared
an
interesting
anecdote
which
dated
to
the
early
days
of
his
career.
The
dance
master
of
his
very
first
movie
had
urged
the
multi-talented
VIP
actor
to
refer
the
dance
movements
of
STR
and
replicate
the
same
in
his
movie.
An
intrigued
Dhanush
watched
the
video
and
exclaimed
back
to
the
dance
master
that
he
would
never
be
able
to
flex
his
body
like
STR.
Dhanush
also
pointed
out
that
his
entry
into
the
cinema
industry
was
accidental
and
had
to
work
towards
the
goal
as
part
of
responsibility
more
than
an
ambition,
while
STR
was
born
for
the
purpose
of
getting
into
films
and
every
action
of
the
Vallavan
star
is
a
relative
reflection
of
his
passion
and
interest.
Dhanush
had
some
good
words
for
the
leading
actor,
Santhanam.
He
said
that
Santhanam
had
immense
potential
right
from
the
very
beginning
and
the
same
was
discussed
between
both
Dhanush
and
director
Vetrimaran
during
the
shooting
of
Pollathavan.
Simbu's
Extended
Speech
It
was
quite
a
detailed
speech
from
STR
as
the
actor
had
made
special
notes
in
his
Mobile
Phone.
STR
thanked
God,
his
parents,
film
fraternity,
media
house
and
his
fans.
The
budding
music
director
thanked
all
the
lyric
writers
and
music
directors
with
whom
he
was
associated
from
the
beginning
to
till
date.
He
had
some
special
words
for
legendary
writer
Vali,
Na.
Muthukumar
and
one
of
the
popular
music
directors,
Yuvan
Shankar
Raja.
AAA
Issue
STR
did
not
elaborate
much
on
the
ongoing
AAA
producer's
issue
as
he
wrapped
up
the
same
by
extending
an
apology
if
he
had
committed
any
mistake.
He
exclaimed
that
the
dissection
of
the
said
issue
would
not
fetch
good
to
anyone
and
expressed
his
disappointment
that
the
producer
could
have
approached
him
and
sorted
out
the
issue
amicably.
Simbu-Mani
Ratnam
Movie
The
talented
actor
confirmed
that
he
is
still
part
of
the
prestigious
Mani
Ratnam's
project
thereby
dismissing
reports
of
him
being
ousted.
Admiration
Towards
Dhanush
STR
thanked
Dhanush
in
the
most
profuse
manner
and
also
couldn't
help
himself
from
sharing
his
early
stage
experience.
STR
said
that
it
was
hard
for
him
to
believe
that
a
guy
with
such
uncanny
looks
could
be
called
an
actor.
But
he
was
quick
enough
to
add
that
he
was
mesmerized
with
Dhanush's
performance
in
his
initial
two
movies
and
had
indeed
watched
Kadhal
Kondein,
with
the
leading
star
first
day
first
show
upon
its
release.
STR
appreciated
and
thanked
Dhanush's
gracious
gesture
of
lending
his
support
at
this
critical
juncture
and
wished
to
continue
his
friendship
with
the
latter
for
the
long
walk
of
their
lives.
Bonding
With
Fans
His
speech
removed
all
masks
and
censor
when
it
was
time
for
him
to
speak
about
his
fans.
STR
said
that
he
makes
movies
to
entertain
his
fans
and
no
matter
what,
he
would
be
there
for
them
whether
he
continues
to
act
in
movies
or
any
other
avenue.
The
34-year-old
actor
assured
that
neither
any
conspiracy
nor
any
personnel
from
the
industry
could
rupture
the
emotional
connect
between
the
actor
and
his
fans.
