'Thai Kaviyam' – Change of director

  • IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,August 07 2008]

Popular lyricist Pa. Vijay acts as hero for the first time in the film 'Thai Kaviyam'. The story is based on Chief Minister Karunanidhi's story in poetic format. Incidentally Karunanidhi based his work on famous Russian writer Maxim Gorky's masterpiece.

The film started off with song sequences being shot in China. Reports indicate that a substantial sum of money was spent in filming of the song sequences alone. When the film crew came back to Chennai, a meeting was organized and changes were meted out.

Incidentally, majority of the crew were not happy with the way the presentation of the story was made. Along with these changes, the director of the film has also been changed. The director of the yet-to-be-released 'Raman Thediya Seethai' Jagannath has been appointed as the new director. However the shots canned by the ousted director Bali Shrirangam would be retained.
