Trailer is okay ; hope selva won't fail in screenplay this time ....
Irandam Ulagam trailer
Anuska :
- sommersault-kicking-2ndworld-streetdog
- Kathi Sandai
- with malli poo
- dancing under jigna tree
- doing russian folk dance
CG note panna time illa ... LoL !
Jokes apart, I felt the trailer having a decent approach on what to expect. The processing (CG) is dull but colorful. And HJ "gilli-goli" bgm is a bit too loud. "Water" element takes enough screen time, a point to look out for. "Street-fighter" type stunts are a bit disappointing & Arya get-up, can we sit watching it for its runtime ? : but its too early to say anything. Awaiting the movie - without immigration check, a free trip to 2nd world - I am all game for it ...

Looks interesting. Hope he doesn't go into AO range of "self-obsession".
Oru velai Avatar concept irukumo?
If you ask me :
@1:37 you can see Arya taking a sip from the Egyptian pot and then throwing everyone off him => Magic potions, auras and mythical creatures will take over this 'magical' 2nd World where Arya and Anuska separated by caste (Varna) fight for love and in the parallel world the same magic potions, auras and creatures get transformed to medicines, medical research and patients, where one such revelations done in 2nd world serves as a solution to our world, but still they got to fight it out once again in the name love ... caste <=> disease ... something like that. 2nd world should be a land by the sea and quite colorful (again Varna means that). Too early to say anything. I trust SR's imagination and I am eagerly waiting to watch the movie.

In late 2006 after #Pudhupettai, #Selvaraghavan was working on a script for #Karthi, whose first film #ParuthiVeeran was yet to release at the time. It was #IrandaamUlagam, and the film was said to be produced by ‘White Elephant Productions’ Selvaraghavan's new production house in collaboration with his close friends cinematographer Arvind Krishna and music composer Yuvan Shankar Raja. But the film was shelved due to budget constraints and Selvaraghavan started a film with Karthi and ‘Kadhal’ Sandhya which was named as ‘Idhu Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam’. Later this film was also dropped and the team moved on to make another movie, which was ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’. During the period, the production house ‘White Elephant’ also collapsed, after Selvaraghavan fell out with both his partners Arvindh Krishna and Yuvan.
The film was again started in late 2009 during the post-production of ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ with a new cast of #Dhanush and #Andrea Jeremiah in the leading roles; the film was produced by Vimala Geetha, Selvaraghavan and Dhanush's sister. After shooting for a while, the film was shelved again in June 2009 due to Selvaraghavan's other commitments. In October 2010, the film was launched again for the third time in intentions of completing the film within fifty days for a February 2011 release; six songs were composed for the film in G.V.Prakash’s music. However the film was yet again abandoned due to unknown reasons and Selvaraghavan began another film with Vikram and ‘Subramaniyapuram’ Swati Reddy, which also failed to progress after its first schedule; Vikram was looking forward to do a film with commercial stuffs and moved on to do ‘Rajapattai’ with the same producer Mr.Pearl V. Potluri.
‘Irandaam Ulagam’ began shoots for the fourth time on March 2011 with the same cast, but a changed title of ‘Maravan’. Filming was held at Jeppiaar Engineering College in Chennai as the film began to progress quickly. The title later was changed to ‘Irandam Ulagam’ again. Selvaraghavan revealed that "70 per cent" of the film was over and later that month, the rights of the film were purchased by UTV Motion Pictures. But the film ran into a trouble yet again when the lead actress Andrea Jeremiah moved out of the film, due to her disputes with the director. With situations turning totally against him and holding a tight pressure from the production and distribution house, Selva could not do anything possibly. The film was dropped and he started a film immediately with Dhanush and Richa Gangopadhyay named ‘Mayakkam Enna’ which was inspired from the 2011 Rusell Crowe starrer ‘A Beautiful Mind’; despite the inspiration, the film had lots of beautiful moments. Though the movie did average business at the box-office, it received highly positive reviews and got lot of praises for Dhanush’s excellent performance. Between all these, Selvaraghavan was also asked to direct Kamalhassan’s “Vishwaroopam”, which he opted out after a few weeks of filming due to disagreements with Kamalhassan. Later, Selvaraghavan was in discussions to do ‘Irandaam Ulagam’ in Telugu with Allu Arjun and Shruti Haasan in the lead roles, which was dropped in the initial levels itself. During all these days, Selva was busy in sharpening the script making a lot of betterments.
At last, it was officially announced that Arya and Anushka Shetty were roped in to play the lead roles in the film. Meanwhile, Harris Jayaraj was confirmed to be a part of the project as the music director, again replacing G.V.Prakash Kumar. The film shooting took off on 24 December 2011, in Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad. The next schedule was filmed in the BITS-Pilani (Goa Campus) following the shoot of major portions in Georgia and in Rio de Janeiro and the forests of Brazil. It was reported that Arya and Anushka will play double roles. And, the total film shoot was completed by November 2012 and the film is under post production for the past 10 months, with more attention given to the CG parts.
Today (4th August, 2013), the film’s trailer and songs have been launched grandly with Surya and Director Maniratnam as Chief Guests. Both the guests praised high of the film’s songs and trailer and the Legendry director Maniratnam patted Selva’s work as ‘Path-breaking’. The trailer has also received great responses from the audience also in social networks, with the trailer going viral. The trailer begins with a question ‘How far will you travel for Love?’ and it tells us that it would be a story happening in two different worlds. The trailer had stunning visuals and beautiful locations, with the VFX being the best in our cinema till date (for our budget and reach). With such a trailer that boasts of technical awesomeness, if the film has a great script also, ‘Irandaam Ulagam’ is sure going to be one of the most important films of Tamil and Indian Cinema.
The film’s release date is not yet officially confirmed, which might fall on September end or October. Let us all wish a very fruitful outcome and a big commercial success for #IrandaamUlagam, for all the 7 years hard-work and efforts of #Selvaraghavan!

The film looks very similar to 'The Fountain', a film that had a lot of religious and philosophical subtexts surrounding it and a film that was fun to explore. I for one hope the same from Irandam Ulagam. Seriously I still cant get to understand people's thinking about a movie's originality. No movie is completely original. It is is like asking if one's opinion or thought is original.
:clap: finally some rationality to this thread.But I beg to differ there are movies which are Original No one in rite mind can dispute it. Originality discussion was brought up by his highness Spielberg Selva. I agree with you each have their own onions and garlic. But copying others onions ( these days its called "inspiration") giving guys like rice cooking selva / Shenker a free hand for doing whatever they want with it, and then calling their works originals is shameful daasall.Quote:

Its easy to blow out the candle!

Harris Jayaraj, Vairamuthu and SPB have joined forces to render a romantic song in 'Irandam Ulagam', the forthcoming film of director Selvaraghavan. Starring Arya and Anushka Shetty in lead roles, 'Irandam Ulagam' is touted as an adventure story.
Composed by Harris Jayaraj, the number 'Kandar mayangum vandaar malarey...' has been penned by Vairamuthu and sung by S P Balasubrahmaniam.
I talked about originality just to drive home the point that it is a pointless notion to think about. Any idea, just an idea even if thought to be original owes its genesis to something thats already existent. So to talk about originality is just a sheer waste of time. Coming to Selvaraghavan, I really liked Aayirathil Oruvan- Not a perfect film, but the film scored brownie points for its genre- a concoction of semi fiction-fantasy and adventure, its style and the way it was presented. And the reason I mentioned 'The Fountain' was that it was a film that intrigued me when it first released and to think of it in a regional mileu sounds really fascinating. For all you know, this movie might not be even close in actuality. But the trailer do seems to indicate some similarity, you know.
Dilbert,
u hav rights to comment on anybody..bt giv sum respect on their talents... dont cal them as 'Spielberg selva', cooking rice,etc., ... its irritating to read.. hope u understand wt i said.. after all, u jus saw a trailer only.. nt a whole film...
Dude it was irritating for me too to watch his interview , where he thrashed others.. as if he was a "spielberg" of tamil cinema.. Hence I merely quote what I feel about his attitude. Now you guys can cut this crap of finding fault in my posts and continue your discussion. If you guys don't like what I say (just ignore and move on).Quote:

Regarding his recent interviews, not able to understand why he started talking bad about all the others suddenly...
I thought I would keep it short by saying "I trust SR's Imagination" or "too early to say anythin", but I think I have to elaborate a bit. I am in accord with Venkkiram and Aravind Srinivasan, esp. with "space/respect" & "brownie points".
SR has his views and we have ours. Many of us commented on his interview (including myself). Even though I was with certain percentage favorable with him, I did not go ahead and explain why.
For ex : When the film maker designs something which the story needs, it’s most of the time rejected and replaced with anything else that is "believed" to be the current industry need.
The creator illustrates a scene : hero leaving the airport - last vision, his mom waving to him – gets in the plane - he sits and closes his eyes - his mom's last word rings in his ears - he imagines a song to keep intact the memory of his mom => Rejected. Idhulam ippo yaar sir parpanga. TV serial mari irruku.
Instead sambandhamey illadha oru song – Hero after all the sentiments at the airport, gets into the plane – he sits – an air hostess bends more than needed to offer him a glass of water - they both start dancing in a tropical island - highlight she is a “Bombay model” or "ex-miss-whatever"
Statistics (you can get a clue why there is “loss” in TFI)
A mother song = RS. 50,000
A dream song = Rs. 50,00,000
That does not mean that I am against such songs, I am ok if it’s strictly needed. Take Neerparavai – 2 duets – Love seen when he is an alcoholic – another one when he is tasting success. Yenna ma picturise panni irrupanga + Lyrics. They could have goes to Mauritius, no !
The point is : Every work comes with its own load of shit, and SR has the right to be furious just like us when our C code is rejected by the Release Manager.
That said, SR is the film maker who showed hatred love-lily. After Balachander and Bharathiraja (taking just prominent names) SR is the one of the director to showcase woman-hood as it is. We all talk about performance, but the emotion that he brings in the scene /situation itself is outstanding. In a Moodar Koodam song - "Kannodu Kangal Modha Vantha Vekkam, Manmedhu Intha Penmai thantha Sorgaam" – yenna oru lines. That Kangal + Vekkam + “Penmai thantha Sorgaam” can be seen in SR movies scenes. There are few directors who can bring it up in a scene which is less than 1 minute, repeat less than 1 minute screentime (Mouna Ragam – Mohan’s Thevippu – Revathi’s aloofness – excellent).
These are the materials those which should be taken from arguments and judgments. Any personal grudge on "any" film maker should be handled 'within' rather than brining baseless inappropriate comparisons.
(Even though I am all game for dissecting trailers and posters, respecting Venkkiram's post - true that not many "audience" are following it, I not wish talk about Fountain here. After watching 2nd world & if its apt, I will talk about it.)
Irandam Ullagam - I am on the wagon with people heading for FDFS (edit : if its released here).

Every unsuccessful / Mediocre human being (not just Spielberg sleva) including me , have shown jealous over others success and achievement time to time. I / Spielberg Sleva might feel people whom we are criticizing are beneath us, that's just point of view its NOT THE FACT. First lets all understand that difference before entering in to heated debate space brownies and rainbow skittles.
These are his own words
1) At AO success meet, except my team no could have pulled off such a huge project so brilliantly etc etc. I am even planning Part II , that was the reason hero / kid escaped or something along those lines.
2) Fast forward , Question asked is this movie (IU) something smiliar to AO , his response oh no way , I suffered once . I don't want to go down that path again etc .. etc..
It was evident in his face, he was disgusted by that question.
You guys are supporting a guy , who couldn't stand behind his biggest project of his career. And you feel he still has credibility god save.
for heavens sake did u watch the interview Thala_Rasigan. there wasnt a bit of respect he showed for ppl. whats said here isnt half of how he blabbered - ans .irrelevant to the question bringing his personal vendetta.Quote:

I have high regards for your posts, which is why I'm going to say it blows my mind that an intelligent poster like yourself don't know/pretend to not know that originality varies with its framework. If you apply the word in the context of cinema, an original idea would be the one that gives the viewers an experience they haven't gotten before. Tell me, hands over your heart, is that what you got from the trailer?Quote:

^ Firstly my post over there wasn't directed towards anyone and definitely not towards you, Stardust. Coming back to the issue, I saw Selvaraghavan's interview and I dont think its gonna affect as to how I rate the movie. I would like to judge the movie on its merits and not on my personal dislikes and likes. It is quite apparent from the trailer to see where Selvaraghavan's inspirations come from. I am not gonny deny it. For me this is one of the very reasons I will be stepping in to the theatre to watch the movie. Just imagine a film like ' The Fountain' or 'The Avatar' in an Indian set up and try making a film. That's original enough for me and since its been directed by a Selvaraghavan who already made me sit up with Aayirathil Oruvan (again not completely original at all ).
I agree with you on one thing, his effort in introducing new genre to tamil cinema is laudable. I liked AO to an extent, heck I could even end up liking IU, Selva-the person isn't going to put me off from watching it. If you read my first comment again, you'll realise I was judging him and not the movie.Quote:

Audio and Trailer Launch

AO had talked about the Pandyan-Chozhar rivalry, a topic that has been rarely unearthed in TFI. We have literary classics such as Ponniyin Selvan and we haven't seen any of these adapted into films. So for me AO was a step in the right direction and it had a fairly intelligent mix of history,fantasy and adventure. Hopefully we get to see a filmy version of Ponniyin selvan soon (a novel that I particularly enjoyed reading and which I believe should have been made as a film long ago). We had a film version of Parthiban Kanavu featuring Gemini Ganesan in 1960 though, but to make it palatable with current trends of cinema, it requires some effort.Quote:
