Sivakarthikeyan's Velaikkaran, co-starring Nayanthara, released yesteray, December 21. Directed by Mohan Raja and with music by Anirudh, the film has been received well by its first set of audience.
When contacted, distributor Tirupur Subramaniam gave us exclusive details about the film's opening day collections in Coimbatore: "The film grossed around Rs 1 Crore on Day 1. It was a mixed response yesterday, but the response from today (December 22) is very steady. With no big films for the next two weeks, it is expected to collect well, as the family audience crowd has increased."
This is great news for Velaikkaran, and we will soon find out the film's box office success.
Velaikkaran's music album had five songs and all the songs reached out to the majority of audience. In the film, there was a surprise song called "Thatrom" and it was sung by music director Mervin Solomon. So we got in touch with the music director to know more details about it.
He said, "Thatrom was an accident. After Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, all of us schoolmates worked as a team again for Velaikkaran. We composed it the same way like how before they used to do. It was all spot composition since we had no time at all. Anirudh suddenly called me and asked me to sing the track. It was quite an interesting experience."
Stay tuned for more details about Velaikkaran.
