'Subramaniapuram' trailer hits theaters
Imagine a film that weaves the magic of love with the backdrop of the eighties. Every single detail such as television cables to cell phone towers have to be avoided. These are facets that have crept into our lives ever so effortlessly. From sticking up posters of those days to hairstyles and costumes have to be meticulously planned. The real problem is that most people can identify a mismatch if any especially because the audiences have seen those days. M. Sasikumar, former assistant to directors Bala and Ameer debuts with this film both as director and actor. Everyone associated with the film have lauded Sasikumar for the effort put in to recreate the magic of the eighties. Jai of 'Chennai 600028' fame is being introduced as hero. Most theaters in Chennai use Cube technology wherein movies and trailers can be played straight from computer hard disks on to screens. Unfortunately the makers of 'Subramaniapuram' were asked to present their trailer in the traditional film print cans. Despite this setback, the producers of the film have gone ahead and made prints of trailers for the entire region of Tamilnadu. Surely a commendable effort after indulging in finger tip perfection to recreate the magic of love set in the eighties.

We wanted Shankar Mahadevan's voice and so traveled to Mumbai and recorded his voice on one track while the music was mixed with another. Shankar Mahadevan's rendition was over in 30 minutes. Another song titled 'Kanngal Irandal' has also come out very well". Interestingly James Vasanthan was Sasikumar's music instructor back in school. The director adds, 'Except the five main characters in the film all the others are locals from Madurai and their involvement has been just terrific'.
