Yuvraj Dakshan has handled the cinematography of this film and Musiccloud Studio & Technology has composed the music for this film. This film, which is being prepared as a feel-good family entertainer, is produced by Arun Rangarajulu under Pathway Productions.

Writer Senthamizhan attended the press conference held in Chennai as a special guest along with the film crew to promote the film, which will be released in theaters on April 3rd. Actor Kothandam, Creative Producer Sri Saravanan, Cinematographer Yuvaraj Dakshan, Music Composer Ramanujam, Art Director Shankar, Lyricist Mani Amuthavan, Karan Chakravarthy, Dinesh, Editor Jagan, Padava Gopi, Actor Sankaranarayanan, Actress Abhinaya, Producer Arun, Actress Lakshmi Priya Chandramouli, Director Ram Chakri, Samuthirakani, Choreographer Harish, Costume Designer Swetha Lakshmi, and Sound Designer Raghav Ramesh were present.

Producer Arun Rangarajulu said, "This is my second film. Before this, I produced the film 'Kuraiyoonammilla' ten years ago. This film is a family drama. It will easily connect with fans from all walks of life. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the actors and technicians who worked on this film. This film will be released on April 3rd. Everyone should support it," he said.

Music composer Ramanujam said, "We have worked together as a team for this film. The songs, music, background music are all well-crafted. No AI technology has been used in the song. All the music has been played directly. We went to places like Kochi, Jaipur, Mumbai and recorded the songs with famous musicians there. The film is also good. I pray to God for the success of the film," he said.

Creative Producer Sri Saravanan said, "Thank you to the special guest writer Senthamilan for coming here. Thank you to the film crew for coming to the event. The producer and director have been close friends of mine for 15 years. That's why I got the opportunity to work as a creative producer on this film. Thank you to them too. 'Kar Maini Selvam' will be released in theaters on April 3rd. Everyone should support it," he said.

Actor Kothandam said, "The director has made this film as if 'only an ampoule knows the mind of an ampoule.' The pain of childbirth can only be felt by a mother. They say that no one else in the world can feel a pain like that. That pain - a pain that no one can bear. A pain like being reborn."

A boy asks his father to buy him something. If the father is unable to buy it for him, the pain he experiences is incomparable. Every father carries this pain every day.

This film tells the pain of a husband not being able to buy not only a child but also the things his wife asked for. The film also shows the problems men get into because of women. Samuthirakani has played the role of a father and a husband wonderfully in this film. No one acts in the film 'Kar Maini Selvam'. Everyone has lived as that character, which makes it easy to connect with the audience when watching this film.

"The Tamil Nadu government should build a cinema in every district across Tamil Nadu and screen films there at a low cost, without parking fees, and with snacks sold inside the cinema at reasonable prices. If such screenings are conducted, the lives of many directors will be saved. The government also has a responsibility to protect employees working in the film industry. Cinema is more than just entertainment; it is a life and a goal for many," he said.

Actress Abhinaya, speaking through sign language, said, "I thank the director and producer for choosing me for a family-oriented role in this film and giving me the opportunity. The director himself narrated the entire script for me and made me act without going through assistant directors. Acting alongside Samuthirakani in this film was an unforgettable experience."

Actress Lakshmi Priya Chandramouli said, "Thank you to the director and producer for giving me this wonderful role. I met a lot of good people during the shooting of this film. I was in a very friendly environment. I worked very happily."

"There was a lot of love and simplicity on the set of the film. That is reflected in the film as well. I really like the songs of this film. This is a film that you should go to the theater with your family and enjoy. It is a film full of love. Please support such films," he said.

Writer Senthamizhan said, "I am attending this event at the invitation of my friends Samuthirakani and Director Ram. I got the opportunity to watch this movie yesterday. I would like to share some thoughts from the heart of the movie with you."

This film records a situation that is happening in the world today a few months ago. The mental crisis of those working in the Gulf countries is caused by a war today. This film records the same mental crisis. It is not caused by an armed war, but by a socio-psychological war.

This film raises a fundamental question. People from Tamil Nadu go to the Gulf countries or other countries like them for work. This film raises the question, very beautifully and emotionally honestly, of whether there are legitimate reasons for going there.

Tamils ​​were seafarers 7000 years ago. We have been to all countries. We have stayed there for a few days. It is not new for Tamils ​​to go and live in many countries. It is not a crime. The question is, wherever you are, are you physically and mentally healthy? If yes, then it is your home. If no, then it is not your home. This question is also relevant for those in Chennai city. The answer to this is in their minds, they can answer their minds. No matter what they say outside, there is someone inside. He conveys the truth or he expects the truth from us. If you can say to yourself that I am physically and mentally healthy wherever I am, you are in your home.

I saw some shades of this idea in this film. In fact, a young man named Ram Chakri did not direct the film after asking me for these ideas. When the work on the film was about to be completed, he met me through my friend Samuthirakani. I am writing on this platform that this is the embrace of God.

Director Ram Chakri said, "I think it was a privilege for this film to have writer Senthamizhan attend the event as a special guest and deliver a speech.
I consider myself fortunate to have been introduced to him through his writings.

Some of the actors in this film have acted in Samuthirakani's film 'School Bus'. He has thanked me for this. I had previously directed the film 'Kuraiyoonammillai' under the name Karthik. After that, I have changed my name to Ram Chakri because there are so many Karthiks in the film industry.

I created my first film through crowdfunding, raising funds from 60 people. I would like to thank all of them at this moment.

The script of the film reached Samuthirakani through my friend Sriram. He read the entire script and called me and asked me whether I think a man should be at peace or rich. When I said that he should be at peace, I was happy that he mentioned what I wanted to say. He also said that whenever you are ready, I am ready. After two years, when I told him that I was ready, he immediately said okay. I am still amazed that he traveled with me without asking a single word about me. I thank Samuthirakani for trusting me and giving me the opportunity.

Shooting with new faces is a risk. It is very difficult in today's situation. There should be money from the moment the work on the film starts till the release of the film. The entire film is better than the criticisms that the first off is good, the second off is good, the comedy didn't work out. Only if there is improvement in every scene can a film survive commercially in the film industry.

I am learning all three of these things. This is the understanding I gained from my first film. I made this film knowing that success can only be achieved if you shoot without any compromise from the first scene to the climax.

As soon as actress Abhinaya arrives on the set, a spiritual feeling spreads. The questions they asked on the set made the character even more special.

Gautham Vasudev Menon gave a unique look to this film. He gave his full cooperation even though his screen appearances were limited.

Music composer Ramanujam has contributed a lot to this film. He will give Indian classical music as well as Western classical music. A creation is a collaborative effort. I cannot say that I did this alone. From the actors to the technicians, everyone has contributed to this. As far as music is concerned, all we know is the composer - lyricist - singers - etc. But behind this, there is the contribution of many musicians.

We have made an arrangement so that the income generated from the songs featured in this film should go to all the artists who worked on it. This is a first attempt. That is why Ramanujam did not put forward his name as the music director for the film. We have kept the name of his music company.

"Actor Samuthirakani has danced in a single shot in this film. I thank the choreographer who made this possible. I pray to God that if anyone watching this film is in any debt crisis, they will recover from it," he said.

Actor Samuthirakani said, "I must say that working on this film was a blessing from God. The script of the film came to me through my friend Sriram. As soon as I read the story, I get to know the director's mindset. That mindset brought me to director Ram Chakri. We started working on the film by meeting him and saying, 'Come on, let's tell this together.' He is now a very important friend in my life. It is very rare to see people like him. He should be kept very safe. Because with a lot of truth and a lot of simplicity, we should have some contribution to this society and everyone should be well. I think the world runs because of people like this. Thank you Chakri sir."

My thanks to all the actors and actresses who acted in this film and all the technicians who worked there. We are working in KP sir's workshop. Everyone would come. They would write. But I am a big fan of Senthamilan's writing. There was a series called 'Micro Series Macro Thoughts'. Kailasam sir would tell Senthamilan to keep writing, Senthamilan is such a quality writer.

Those who live a self-reliant life without expecting help from others are the richest. They are the happiest. This is what this work, 'Carmeni Selvam', is trying to say.

The songs written by Karaikal Ammaiyar for the Lord are still sung in the same shruti. We also went to one such event. The director who saw it shared his feelings, 'We are in the heavenly world..!' We both floated in another world.

A rich person is different. A wealthy person is different. A rich person is someone with problems. A wealthy person is someone who is very happy. This film is about making all of you wealthy. We have talked about many things like this in this work.

'Kar Main Selvam' is not just an ordinary movie. We may be gone, but this creation will remain. It will always be with you.

"Don't lift a lot of burdens. Don't carry burdens in the name of EMI. After that, you won't even be able to walk. Just drop that burden little by little, throw your hands up and walk happily. You will feel happiness," he said.
