[baba88]

Its title is the same as the Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather, a trilogy blockbuster in Hollywood. After a film titled like that in Mollywood, and a remake in Bollywood now it is Kollywood to show the power of action and acting skills. This film was launched on the 15th November 2004. And all the cine industry were and is still surprised by the dream team which is composed. The film has a smell of a rebirth or revenge for the main leading artists who take part in it : The hero Ajit Kumar, the director K.S Ravikumar and the music director A.R Rahman. All them had spent a bad phase however their latest project are success (Paramasivan for Ajit, Saravana for K.S Ravikumar and A Aa for A.R Rahman)

After spending a irregular position in industry, Ultimate Star Ajit Kumar will soon to get the top of the stardom. His latest is hit Attahasam but the movie who really made him as the hot cake of cine industry is Paramasivan, a super hit in Tamil Nadu and overseas. So now with Godfather he is going to continue his strong coming up.

In this film, he plays a triple acting for his first time also it is the first time that an actor after Rajini and Kamal does more than a double acting. Ajit will indeed endorse the role of a father and his two sons who one plays the negative role, this one has a big hatred over his father and his twin brother. K.S Ravikumar reported many times that Ajit has simply given his best in this film, he excelled in the ability to shift from the different characters and director added that the film is going to be a blockbuster.

Though the film is much expected in the cine field, director Ravikumar keeps the story in suspense. After some inquiry by our team, we found that the story is revolving around the father Ajit and depends on him. The turning point of the movie will come in the interval when both sons Ajit will meet each other and then they will clash. The director told that the film has the right mix of romance, fights, comedy and sentiments and globally it came out well. Besides, we found that the film is a mild thriller. The film could have some shades of Manirathnam's Agni Nachathiram but with more powerful dialogues.

The other cast is composed by Asin who is becoming very busy these days and looks like to be one of the best heroines of Kollywood, in Godfather she plays of course as the heroine, a village girl with a naughty temperament; director K.S Ravikumar was impressed by his acting skills. Five Star fame Kanika plays as the mother of the two sons and so the wife of father Ajit, she is doing an unusual role for his first time: a mental affected person, a negative role; in the film, she aggressively wants to take a revenge on the father Ajit. It seems that she has excelled in it and could deserve an award. One of the best friend of Ajit in the cine field Ramesh Kanna, is also part of the cast, he plays a hospital compounder. Sujatha and Santhana Barathi play the parents of the hero Ajit. Ponnambalam, Mansoor Ali Khan, Vaiyaburi, 'Crane' Manohar, 'Cesar' Manohar, Pandu, Vijayan, Rajesh will also cast in the film.

Sundaram is directing the steps for the dance, one song is choreographed by Sivasankar and 'Kaviperarasu' Vairamuthu wrote all the lyrics. P.C Sriram was slated to crackle the camera ( he has already shot a duet song ) but for call sheet reason he has been replaced by Priyan, also Vijay Milton and new comer Chakravarthy handle the camera too. The producer of this film is S.S Chakravarthy of Nic Arts banner, this is the 9th time that Ajit and Chakravarthy join their hands. But for some reasons, it could be the last time that they do that. Also regarding this problem, Ajit was forced to not receive wage for the film and to finance a part of the production : Ajit should come in the crew as a co-producer for the film. And of course K.S Ravikumar is in charge of the dialogues, screenplay and direction.
