National award-winning director G. Vasantha Balan’s next film ‘Aneethi’ produced by Urban Boyz Studios and its Telugu version ‘Blood and Chocolate’ will release in both languages simultaneously on July 21 in theaters across the world in a grand fashion.
The trailer and audio launch function of ‘Aneethi’ was held in Chennai. Here are highlights of the event.
Actor and director K. Bhagyaraj said…
“Director Vasantha Balan comes from the school of director Shankar. Vasantha Balan’s previous films are proof of how ‘Aneethi’ can be. They say it is very difficult to get a producer for a film. It is very nice to have Vasantha Balan’s friends as producers here. The film will become a huge success and I would like to attend its success event as well. I pray the Almighty for this.”
Producer G. Dhananjayan said…
“It is very important to make friends. Director Vasantha Balan is very lucky in that way. It is happy to see friends who have been together since school days have produced this film. It shows the importance Vasantha Balan gives to friends. Director Shankar is releasing this film based on that friendship. It is because of that friendship many leading directors have come to this function. I hope ‘Aneethi’ will get the friendship of the fans as well. The way Vasantha Balan narrates a story is amazing. I wish ‘Aneethi’ a huge success.”
Director, producer and actor Chitra Lakshmanan said…
“Vasantha Balan is not only a cinephile but also knows about the film industry. Being a very hardworking person, he has already given great movies. I believe ‘Aneethi’ will be in that line. Director Shankar, who brought Tamil cinema on global platform, is releasing this film. It is an added strength. Arjun Das and Dushara Vijayan have added value to the film with their performances. I wish ‘Aneethi’ a grand success.”
Producer and director Kathiresan said…
“Director Vasantha Balan has been giving different films since his debut. It seems that ‘Aneethi’ will be one such film. His friends have produced this movie along with Vasantha Balan. I wish them more films to follow the success of this film. GV Prakash has delivered very good songs. We are all fans of Arjun Das’s voice.”
Actor and director Santhana Bharathi said…
“I have been a fan of director Vasantha Balan since ‘Veyil’. He has been delivering different movies. The trailer and songs of ‘Aneethi’ were powerful and they show that the film is going to be a huge hit. Vasantha Balan is a very hard worker and will extract wonderful work from his team members. My warm wishes to the team of this film.”
Director Ezhil said…
“The trailer and songs of this movie are great. Congratulations to Vasantha Balan and his friends who have produced this movie. I wish ‘Aneethi’ a huge success.”
Director A. Venkatesh said…
“Vasantha Balan and I have been friends ever since we worked with Shankar sir. Vasantha Balan has a large number of friends. The reason is that he is very affectionate towards his friends. He offered me an important role in ‘Angadi Theru’ and was very adamant that I should play it. Thanks to his love, I acted in the film. Showing the lives of common people on screen is not easy for everyone, Vasantha Balan does it very well. I wish him to continue to make more great films.”
Actor Siddharth said…
“You all should spend money and watch this movie in theatres. There are various reasons for that. If a film is released by Shankar sir, it is bound to be a very good movie. And a film directed by Vasantha Balan is a story that needs to be told. Much can be said about GV Prakash’s music. There are many such reasons for watching ‘Aneethi’. I am lucky to have worked with Vasantha Balan (in ‘Kaaviya Thalaivan’). I request everyone to support Anidhi, thank you.”
Director N. Lingusamy said…
“Director Vasantha Balan and I have been friends ever since we shared a room in Saligramam. Vasantha Balan has been a very important part of my life. So I see this event as my function. ‘Aneethi’ is very well made. I wish Vasantha Balan and his friends who produced this film a huge success, thank you.”
Director Karthik Subbaraj said…
“I have been a fan of Vasantha Balan’s writing since ‘Veyil’. I recently got a chance to watch ‘Aneethi’. It is a very intense and gripping film. Vasantha Balan’s films always show social concern and anger. The film is set to bring out Arjun Das and Dushara Vijayan’s full acting talent. Kali Venkat’s outstanding contribution will be spoken in ‘Aneethi’. My best wishes for the success of this film.”
Producer Amma Creations’ T Siva said…
“Heartfelt thanks to director Shankar who has come forward to release ‘Aneethi’ while he is currently busy with two films that will make India look back. Vasantha Balan loves and breathes cinema. We can feel this in his every film. Same applies for ‘Aneethi’ as well. My best wishes to his friends who have produced this film. Arjun Das is like Raghuvaran in acting, voice and body language. I wish him many more heights. Please give your best support to make this film a success, thank you.”
Director Arivazhagan said…
“Director Vasantha Balan and I share a common bond. We both worked with Shankar sir and directed our first film in his production. My best wishes to Vasantha Balan and his friends for making ‘Aneethi’. Vasantha Balan is good at portraying people’s lives on screen. He has done it well in this film as well. “
Music composer GV Prakash said…
“My sincere thanks to Vasantha Balan and Shankar sir who believed in me and introduced me as a music director at a very young age. I am soon going to touch my hundredth film as a music director. Vasantha Balan is a very good director and it was a great opportunity to work with him in four films. ‘Aneethi’ was a great opportunity for me. It was a well-done film. I request everyone to give your support to this film, thank you.”
Director Shankar, who is releasing ‘Aneethi’ under his S Pictures banner, said…
“I watched and loved this film. Vasantha Balan narrated the story realistically and at the same time in a gripping way. ‘Aneethi’ strongly voices for the working class. In this film, Vasantha Balan has firmly told how workers should be treated. Not only workers but also employers must watch this film. Arjun Das, Dushara Vijayan, Vanitha Vijayakumar, Kali Venkat and others have contributed very well to this film. My congratulations to Urban Boyz Studios who have produced ‘Aneethi’. They have worked hard to strike a fine balance between a quality film and commercial success. GV Prakash’s music is very supportive. Congrats to all those who have worked in this film. Thank you.”
“Director Vasantha Balan comes from the school of director Shankar. Vasantha Balan’s previous films are proof of how ‘Aneethi’ can be. They say it is very difficult to get a producer for a film. It is very nice to have Vasantha Balan’s friends as producers here. The film will become a huge success and I would like to attend its success event as well. I pray the Almighty for this.”
Director Vasantha Balan said…
“In this era of survival of the powerful, ‘Aneethi’ speaks out about justice. The film will be the voice of those who do not get justice. It will reflect the life of simple people. Friends who are like family have produced this film. When I informed Shankar sir about producing ‘Aneethi’, he came forward to present it on behalf of his S Pictures. Many thanks to him. Everyone who worked on the film has given their best with dedication. I am very happy that I got the opportunity to bring them all together. Thank you for your support to this film.”
