Santosh Subramaniam--Will it be a phenomenon??!!


With Santosh Subramaniam's audio launched, the film's gearing up for release in the second week of April and Jeyam Ravi's spirits are running high!! The movie is a re-make of the blockbuster movie "Bommarillu". The shooting has been completed but the songs have been shot with great difficulty. The song sequences have been conceived at the most impossible crowded locations like Ranganathan Street, Mount Road, Central Station and even Radhakrishnan Salai!! The cast and crew are said to have gone to the location in two cars and a van with a camera fixed in it. All of a sudden the actors came out of a car and dance or walk towards the other car, which was parked at a distance. Their movements were captured by the camera from the van. Once the actors reached the car, the car suddenly departed the place. Everything was finished before the crowd could realize and identify the stars!!

The songs are quite impressive with an original composition as well along with other "re-made" songs!! The song is "Adada Adada" sung by actor Siddharth, who croons for a song for the first time. I'll tell you friends, re-making a movie which has reached a cult status in another state and making it an equally good venture is really a difficult job. Ravi agrees with me!! He said: “People think it’s as easy as falling of a log to remake movies, but it’s a very difficult task since the movie has already achieved a cult status. It’s like trying to redo a magician’s trick after seeing him perform. Luckily, we have got everything in place and I’m pleased with the output”. Well, thats what all the stars say before the release of a movie!! The telugu movie "Bommarillu" was extremely cute and fantastic. And the performances by Siddharth, Genelia and Prakash Raj were indeed mind-blowing. So, lets see if he recreates the magic with his performance!! All the best Ravi!!
