July 1, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Embarking on their venture together with “Jeyam’, filmmaker Raja, actor Ravi and their father Editor Mohan have been having a great time in showbiz. With all their remakes – “Jeyam’, “M Kumaran S/o Mahalakshmi’, “Something Something Unnakum Enakkum’ and “Santhosh Subramaniam’ becoming blockbusters, they are now all set for their next remake “Thillalangadi’.

The film started rolling in August 2009 and has been shot across various parts of Chennai and Malaysia. It has been completed in a span of 115 days. The original version “Kick’ had Ileana taking on the female lead and since she had already signed Telugu projects, the actress couldn’t act in this remake. Finally, Thamannah Bhatia was offered the role while Shaam has been roped in to play the same role he enacted in Telugu.

Well, for the first time we’ll get to see the comedy kings Vadivelu and Santhanam together tickling our funny bones.

The film opens with Shaam flying down to Malaysia for two reasons: to meet his fiancée (Thamannah) and to trap a criminal, who has been carrying on every heist brilliantly. Meanwhile Thamannah is sharing her past bitter experiences with Shaam, about with her ex-boyfriend (Jeyam Ravi), that takes us to a first half with a flashback. Shaam now takes time out to hunt for the thief. He gets a surprise when Thamannah’s ex-boyfriend turns out to be the thief. Rest of the film is about a funny cat-and-mouse game that brims with fun, frolic, action and adventure.

Since Thamman has already replicated the tunes of “Kick’ for his upcoming Tamil film “Moscowin Kaveri’, the producers opted for Yuvan Shankar, who has recently completed the background score. The film’s music will be released tomorrow (July 2). Rajashekar has handled the cinematography and Rocky Rajesh has choreographed the stunts.

A grand set of football stadium was erected at Prasad Studios, which actually marks the reintroduction of Ravi in this film. According to the sources, the songs of this album have been shot at a cost of Rs 2.5 Crores.

Sun Pictures has decided to release the film with additional prints on July 23.
