Producer Kalpathi S. Aghoram and his director Chimbudevan had a grand audio launch of their ambitious cowboy extravaganza Irumbu Kottai Murattu Singam (IKMS) at a popular multiplex in Chennai on Saturday (Dec 26) morning.
IKMS trailer, slick action packed laced with humour was screened with two songs for the invitees. The music of GV Prakash is rocking and looks similar to cowboy film background music of yesteryears.
A mass introductory song with all actors Raja Singam… against the background of a cowboy town was impressive. The second song picturised on Lawrence and Lakshmi Vellaikare Nee, Kolakkaran Njaan…. was a scorcher.
The highlight of the function was the lead artists of IMS- Raghava Lawrence in a saffron dhoti, white shirt, wearing no footwear and spotting a ponytail along with three glam girls Lakshmi Rai, Padmapriya and Sandhya was the cynosure of all eyes.
K Balachandar unveiled the audio with Cheran receiving it. Says KB: “When I first came to Chennai as a 20 year old, I fell in love with Hollywood cowboy movies which were then screened at Eliphinstone and Wellington on Mount Road. After seeing Chimbudevan’s trailer I thought it was picture perfect and would be a treat. Lawrence is the best dancer in the industry today.”
Cheran said Chimbudevan who was one of his former assistants is a hard worker – “He tried to contact Manoj Night Shyamalan through the internet as he wanted to be his assistant.” Balu Mahendra said he loved cowboy films especially films like ‘A few Dollars More’, ‘The good, The bad, The ugly’ etc.
Added Balu Mahendra: “The camera work of Azhagappan in the trailer is mind blowing. He is one of the five best cameramen in the industry.”
The others who spoke on the occasion included lyricist Vairamuthu, Editor Mohan, RB Chowdhary, Ramanarayanan, and the lead artists. Chimbudevan concluded the film would not have been possible without the backing of producer Kalpathi Aghoram and his love for cowboy films of Sergio Leone and John Wayne.
