Poi Audio Release


The master and his two brightest pupils… That’s from the audio launch of Poi, Prakashraj’s next production, which being directed by KB. Prakashraj, also one of KB’s numerous finds(his first film was Duet, which is also why his company is named Duet Films), invited all the actors ‘discovered’ by KB so far to the launch.

Prakashraj’s previous two productions Azhagiya Theeye and Kanda Naal Mudhal were both directed by newcomers. They were both relatively low-profile movies that made it big primarily by word-of-mouth after release. But he is changing track on both counts with Poi. It is being directed by probably the most experienced of directors in Tamil cinema. And such a well-attended, well-publicized audio launch makes the film kinda high-profile too.

But Prakashraj’s heart is in the right place. This is his way of paying tribute to the man who introduced him and is responsible for who he is today. For his sake lets hope his dream of producing another hit doesn’t become a poi!

Prominent absentee was Vivek. He owes a lot to KB and I wonder why he stayed away.

Balaji-

i have posted on the audio launch of Poi too, with all the pomp and flair that is attributed with KB, Prakash Raj- i hope that it doesn't turn out to be like the movie where a 16 year old girl fell in love with the old Prakash Raj-forgot its name, though.

thanks for the news bit, sounds interesting

though I didn’t like “azhagiya theeye” or “kanda naal mudhal”, but this one sounds a bit more promising

though speaking of prakashraj productions, he also has a rgv remake in the works… starring him and manisha koirala

the orginal will be produced by ramu in telugu, and then prakashraj will produce the tamil remake

check out the article…
