Ananda Thaandavam Movie Press Meet Stills

Ananda Thaandavam – a classic novel in motion
With Ananda Thaandavam – an Aascar Ravichandran film that was eagerly awaited by many – releasing on April 10th, its crew met with the media, briefing about their film and its X factor that separates it from the other run-of-the-mill entertainers.
The X factor: It is a film based on late writer Sujatha’s novel Pirivom Santhippom, written 25 years ago with a bold theme for the then readers. Though the theme transcends time, director Gandhi Krishna has made some changes – with permission from Sujatha – while adapting the novel for silver screen seven years ago.
The Wednesday’s Ananda Thaandavam press meet was a colourful event with beautiful Tamannah Bhatia, Rukmani (of Bommalattam fame), hero Siddharth, villain Rishi, director Gandhi Krishna and music director G.V. Prakash participating in it.
Anyone who listened to Tamannah speak at the meet would watch this movie more than once to check out why she was so eager to act in it! The actress talked so highly of the film, its director and described how she readily agreed to act in the film just by listening to the gist of the story! Following her, Rukmani stated that she considers her being part of this movie as one of rare chances that an artist is bestowed with in the world of cinema. Actor Rishi too had similar opinions and expressed his thankfulness to the director. Siddharth observed that acting in a film based on Sujatha’s novel will be his career best highlight forever. G.V. Prakash said that no other film than Ananda Thaandavam gave his songs matching and splendid visuals and thanked the director for that.
When Gandhi Krishna spoke, he thanked the producer Aascar Ravichandran for his support and efforts to shoot the film extensively in USA, the story’s backdrop. Thanks to the producer’s effort and director’s 2-year meticulous work in adapting the novel to screenplay, Sujatha’s wonderful novel Pirivom Santhippom will come alive on silver screen.
