CHENNAI, APRIL 8
SUN TV Channel's Kula Deivam will soon over. The climax scenes of the serial were picturised in a marriage hall on Saturday, the 7th April, with artistes busily walking down the floors of a marriage hall in Vadapalani, Chennai. The artistes keep on changing their costumes off and on getting readied for their respective scenes filmed then.
Veteran actress Vadivukarasi wearing a spectacles was walking on the marriage halls and the Assistant Director was narrating the dialogues for the scene. Vadivukarasi, who had crossed more than 35 years of acting, listens to the dialogues of the director. She understands the sequences of the scenes and joyfully walks out of the marriage hall, telling that she had memorized the dialogues.
Ace stage and film actor and also director Mouli who pairs with Vadivukarasi in the serial is seen sitting on a chair, when another associate director narrates him the dialogues for a combined scene with Vadivukarasi. He just calmly listens to it and okays that he was ready for the shot.
Meanwhile myself (N.Thyagarajan) and my office Photographer K.Babu neared him and said that we were fortunate to see him there. Thyagarajan to Mouli had recalled about the Flight No.172, a stage play enacted by Mouli with Y.G.Mahendran on Music Academy, some forty years ago. He also said that after seeing the play, he had never laughed in his life time, laughing to that extent. He praised Mouli for making such comedy stage plays, which had brought ribs-tickling laughter at the Music Academy and elsewhere in the country wherever the the Flight No 172 was staged. Mouli thankfully acknowledges and stand before the camera for the climax scenes to be shot with Vadivukarasi for the Kula Deivam serial.
Mouli has the knack of acting in films and also in serials with delivery of dialogues calmly and at times showing his anger when the sequences of the scenes needed it. Even then in anger-mood scenes, he had delivered his dialogues calmly, but his powerful eyes would showed, that he was in angry-mood.
Eminent Dance Artiste Shanthi, who was seen in dancing for the title song of the SUN TV channel serial Metti Oli, has been acting in the Kula Deivam serial seemed to be a little bit looking pathos, for she had to act in the serial sending away her mother (Vadivukarasi) in a van, from the marriage hall.
The artistes having the roles of Alamu (Sruthika), Inspector Ranjith Raj Kanth), Rohith (Bavithran) Kayal were too present at the marriage hall for the climax scenes.
E.V.Ganesh Babu who acts as the eldest son to Vadivu-Mouli couples, says that for the last three years, the entire artistes of the troupe have been moving with each other as own family members and the coming end of the serial makes him sad.
Ganesh Babu also added that that he had been invited to produce a film and has been focusing much on the shooting of the new film. Ganesh Babu also does a meaty role in Valli.
Myself and photographer were waiting to see the Director Thiru Murugan, till 9 pm on Saturday. But someone from the production side said that he had been busy with the schedules of producing another mega-serial in Delhi and Thiruvaiyaru in Thanjavur. They lovingly call the director as Thiru said, that he had been producing the new serial Kalyana Veedu, but with different artistes, i.e, the artistes who had appeared in Nadhaswaram serial.
One thing I could understand from the shooting i.e., they were not only actors, but good human beings who love each other and their faces expressed their sorrowfulness, due to that they may not be able to meet every day, as they used to meet in the last three years.
Similarly, millions of viewers who love the Kula Deivam serial would surely miss them. The very same experience when Metti Oli and Nadhaswaram serials of Thiru Murugan ended in the Sun TV Channel. But Thiru Murugan gives the viewers yet another happiness by producing the Kalyana Veedu to be telecast soon in the channel every day, except Saturdays and Sundays.
