The thanksgiving event for ‘Modha Raathiri’, directed by Raja Karuppusamy and starring Rishikanth and Anishma Anilkumar in the lead roles, was held following the film’s successful theatrical run. The film released worldwide on August 21 to a grand reception and has been celebrated by audiences.
Producer Naveen Yerneni said, “I am extremely happy to have produced this film. The audience has also been celebrating the movie. My congratulations to director Raja, hero Rishikanth and the entire team. I really liked the story the moment Raja narrated it to me. The film is running to packed houses in theatres. We are also planning to take this film to other languages. Following Good Bad Ugly and Dude, this is our third successful Tamil film. I would also like to thank everyone who made Irumudi Kattu a success.”
Cinematographer Surendran Paranjothi said, “I am satisfied that we have worked on a good film. I thank the producers and the entire team for giving me this opportunity.”
Editor Ashok Arjunan said, “I thank the producers and director for placing their trust in me. I believe we have lived up to that trust. I am very happy to receive appreciation right from my very first film.”
Publicity designer Vyagi said, “From the moment Raja narrated the story, this became our film as well. Everyone in the team was extremely positive throughout the process. The result of that positivity has turned into a grand success.”
Actress Sumithra Devi said, “A lot of newcomers have acted in this film. I thank Mythri Movie Makers for believing in us and in the story. My thanks to the director and the entire team.”
Actress Varshini Karmmegam said, “I thank the producers, director Raja, Rishikanth and the entire team. I am very happy about the film’s success.”
Actor Dileep said, “I thank the entire team. After a long time, I saw families walking out of theatres happily after watching a film together. Thank you.”
Actress Iniya Ram said, “I thank Mythri Movie Makers for believing in debut director Raja’s story and giving me this opportunity. Many people who watched the film told me that it reminded them of a Bhagyaraj film. I am certain that within the next five years, director Raja will be among the leading directors. Rishikanth is also a talented actor. The technical team has done an excellent job. Thank you.”
Actress Deepika said, “I thank Mythri Movie Makers for believing in the story and giving us this opportunity. This film has given all of us an identity.”
Actor Karthikeyan TK said, “I thank the producers and director for giving me this opportunity. This film is extremely important to everyone who acted and worked on it. I see this success as the first step in a long journey. Thank you.”
Actor Abdul Lee said, “I thank the production company for giving me this opportunity. This film has taken the actors and technicians who worked on it to the next level. After years of hard work, it is emotional for me to see my face on the poster of a film. I thank everyone who helped make the film a success.”
Music composer Bharath Sankar said, “This film is an important milestone in my musical journey. There is no such thing as a small film or a big film. If you want to make a distinction, you can call them good films or average films. Raja often says that he wants to be a director whose films run successfully in theatres. My best wishes to him. I also thank Mythri Movie Makers for coming forward to produce this film.”
Actor Chetan said, “I thank Mythri Movie Makers for giving opportunities to so many new and talented people. I hope you continue doing this. My thanks to director Raja as well. We thoroughly enjoyed acting every day during the shoot. Many future superstars and lady superstars are going to emerge from this film. When I watched Rishi on screen, he reminded me of a young Amitabh Bachchan. Thank you to everyone who supported us.”
Director Raja Karuppusamy said, “I thank Mythri Movie Makers for believing in my story and giving me this opportunity. I also thank cinematographer Dinesh Karuppusamy anna and my entire team. I am extremely happy that the film is running to packed houses in all theatres. Anishma is a talented actress. Six years ago, when I was going around with this story, the one thing everyone told me was that Rishikanth had to be replaced. But today, Tamil cinema has gained a hero with an ideology and a sense of social responsibility. I thank my family and friends. Small films always need your support. That is the only thing that can take Tamil cinema to the next level.”
Actor Bhagavathi Perumal said, “In cinema, when 100 people succeed, a lakh others disappear without being noticed. Producers are the key reason why good films like this get released and become successful. In that regard, I thank Mythri Movie Makers for choosing this story and producing it. This film has brought light into many people’s lives. Those who make films on small budgets have an even greater responsibility. Realising that, many such films are now being released. We certainly need your support.”
Lead actor Rishikanth said, “I thank the media fraternity and the audience for supporting me and this film by considering me one of your own. Raja and I have carried this film with us for six years. I thank Mythri Movie Makers for believing in us and giving us this opportunity. We wanted to create a film that families could watch together in theatres, laugh and enjoy. That has happened today. I thank every member of the team.”
