On this occasion
Actor Madhan spoke..,
“Hello friends. I want to say a few words. I was given a lot of buildup before I came on stage. But all that buildup is worthy of this film. Because it is such a good film.
There are many clever things in the story and the ideas expressed in this film. You must have seen the trailer. Everyone knows how funny and enjoyable it is. But the film will be even better than that and will be a great hit with the fans. Even for modest films, journalists and media friends give good support and bring it to the people. This is a very special film. We are confident that you will bring this film to the people in an even bigger way. I express my gratitude to everyone. Thank you
Actor Lallu spoke...
“Such moments always make me emotional. It is very happy to see Director Harish on this stage today. He started his journey as a new director with a dream of achieving success in cinema. He has worked hard for many years to make that dream come true. It is a great joy that his film 'Kaan City' is releasing today. Arjun Das has already captured the attention of the fans with important films like 'Khaithi' and 'Master'. The experience of traveling with him was also great. I hope this film will be a huge success for him at the cinema. When I saw the trailer and songs of the film, I got a very positive feeling. Especially, it has emerged as a great family entertainment film. Director Harish has written a very interesting and enjoyable screenplay. Each of the songs is in its own unique style and sticks in the mind. 'Kaan City' will be a film that can be enjoyed and watched with the family. Therefore, I request all the fans to come to the cinema halls and support the film and give it a big start and success.
Art Director Rajkamal spoke:
“Hello. First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Director Harish for giving me the opportunity to work on this film. We and our team have put in a lot of hard work to create the world of the film 'Con City'. Especially since there were a lot of sets in this film, we had to plan and work on a large scale. My entire team worked with dedication and hard work. My special thanks to them. All the technicians of this film are like friends to me. Each one worked with full dedication in their field. That made the work very interesting and enjoyable. We worked together as a family throughout the shooting. I hope the audience will enjoy the world and the visuals that we have created in the film 'Con City' in the theaters. I request you to extend your support and best wishes for the film. Thank you.”
Fashion designer Nava spoke...
“Hello everyone. First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the producer and director Harish for giving me the opportunity to work in this film. I am very happy and proud to be standing on this stage today. Thank you to everyone who has supported me continuously and for this opportunity.
It was a great pleasure to work with Arjun Das Anna again. He gave his full cooperation. For that, I am very grateful to him. Similarly, working with Vadivukkarasi Amma was a very special experience for me in this film. The moments I worked with him were unforgettable. I am very happy to have worked with all the artists who acted in this film. We have created many costume designs and different looks to suit the different characters. I hope the fans will enjoy watching it in the theaters. My entire costume team is like a family to me. Their hard work and dedication, who have been with me for many years, is reflected in this film. My heartfelt thanks to everyone. All the technicians of this film have done a great job. Everyone including music composer Shawn Roldan, art director Rajkamal, cinematographer Aravind, stunt master Santhosh have contributed their best. On behalf of the film crew, I would like to request all the fans and media friends. Come to the theaters and watch the movie 'Ghan City' and offer your support and blessings.
Finally, I would like to express my special thanks to my assistants and costume team. Without their support, this journey would not have been possible. Thank you all.”
Choreographer Santhosh spoke:
“Hello everyone. It was a great experience working on the film 'Khan City'. You all must have seen the songs that were released recently. It is heartening to see that the visuals and dance sequences of those songs have been well received by the audience.
Director Harish shared unique ideas for each song. His approach was very interesting. I really enjoyed the experience of creating songs based on that.
A large number of dancers participated in the songs of this film. Working with them was an unforgettable experience. Everyone worked with great dedication on the set.
Director Harish's biggest strength is his positive approach. He always works with enthusiasm and a clear vision. He knew very clearly what the film needed and guided the team accordingly. That confidence and energy gave enthusiasm to the entire team.
All the artists, including Arjun Das, worked very hard. Despite being tired during the shoot, everyone gave their best. Everyone, including the director's team and the cinematographer's team, worked very cooperatively.
The experience of working with Vadivukkarasi Amma was also very pleasant. Her experience and dedication were an inspiration to everyone. Especially the small movements and lip-sync scenes in the songs were done with great precision, which revealed her experience.
All the songs in this film have been composed in a unique style. Each song will have a new experience and a different feel. I hope the fans will enjoy it in the theaters.
I express my heartfelt gratitude to Director Harish, the producer and the crew for giving me this opportunity. Thank you all.”
Editor Arul Moses spoke:
“Hello everyone. First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Director Harish for giving me this opportunity.
The film 'Ghan City' tells a story that can be easily related to everyone's life. That is why I hope this film will be well received by fans from all walks of life.
I have to thank Vijay Anna, who was the main reason I got the opportunity to work on this film. It was his trust and support that brought me on this journey.
I would also like to take this opportunity to remember my important guide and mentor, Selva Anna. His role is very important for me to stand on this stage today and work on this film. This film is very special for me as it is my first work to be released in theaters. The entire crew has worked with great dedication. I request all the fans to watch the film in theaters and share your views and criticisms. Your support and love are very important to us. Thank you all.”
Cinematographer Aravind Viswanathan spoke:
“Hello everyone. It is a great pleasure for me to stand on this stage. First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Director Harish Anna for giving me this opportunity.
Coming from a middle-class background like ours, it is a matter of great pride to see Harish Anna reach this level as a director and producer today. Having witnessed his journey up close, this film is a very personal and emotional piece for me.
Through this film, I got the opportunity to work with talented artists including Arjun Das, Yogi Babu, and Anna Ben. The experience of working with them was very special.
Music composer Shawn Roldan sir has given a wonderful score to the film. When I saw the recently released songs and music clips, I could feel that the world of the film has come to life even more beautifully. The actors and technicians of the film all worked together as one family. The contribution of everyone including art director Rajkamal, costume designer Nava, editor Arul Moses, choreographer Santhosh has been a huge strength to the film.
I would especially like to thank the assistant directors, camera crew, and all the technical artists who worked behind the scenes. They worked tirelessly for many hours to make this film a success.
The film 'Ghan City' is a manifestation of all our hard work. I would like to request all the fans to come out and watch the film in theaters and show their support. Thank you.”
Lyricist Mohan Rajan spoke..,
“Hello everyone. My greetings especially to all the journalists and media friends. This film is very important to me. I am eagerly waiting for the success of this film. The main reason for that is director Harish.
I started traveling with the story from the moment Harish first told it to me. I still remember the days when we sat on a bench at a tea stall and dreamily talked about who was going to star in the film and how it was going to turn out.
Arjun Das sir, the first 'OK' you said after hearing this story is the reason why this film is standing on this stage today. I thank you sincerely for that. I would also like to express a big thank you on behalf of Harish. From the day he wrote this story, you were the only actor he thought of for this role. He had that much faith in you.
I hope this film will give you a huge success as a hero. I have seen this film many times. Every time it has given me something new to surprise me.
Yogi Babu Anna has given a wonderful performance in this film. His character will be very well received by the audience. Shawn Roldan is very special to me. I believe that it was only after working with him that my name as a lyricist became widely known. Many of the songs and works created in our collaboration have been well received.
There are a total of seven songs in the film 'Khan City'. They flow naturally with the story. We have especially created some songs in the spirit of old Tamil philosophical songs. Thanks to Harish for giving us the idea for it. He is a very confident creator. I wish to continue working with him in his next films as well.
The scenes where Vadivukkarasi Amma and Yogi Babu Anna come together are very captivating for the fans. Vadivukkarasi Amma’s performance surprised us. I was already a fan of hers, and after this film I have become an even bigger fan. All the technicians of this film have worked very well. The fact that our entire team worked together like a family is the biggest strength of this film. I am waiting for this film to succeed and to see that joy on Harish’s face. That joy will be like that of an elder brother seeing his younger brother succeed. My thanks to everyone. I bid farewell with the hope that this film will succeed and we will meet everyone again at the success ceremony. Thank you.”
Actor VTV Ganesh spoke...
“Hello everyone. My warm greetings especially to journalists and media friends.
'Ghan City' was a very different experience for me. I have never acted in a story like this before. The way director Harish approached me was very unique. Generally, I always give preference to new directors because they have new ideas and new perspectives.
When Harish came to tell the story, the first thing I asked was, 'Who is the producer?' It's easy to start a film today. But finishing it and bringing it to the theatres is a big deal. What matters is whether you have that confidence. Harish gave me that confidence and courage.
I felt more confident when they told me that there were many talented artists in the film, including Arjun Das and Yogi Babu. They worked without any compromise in the production and planning of the film. That is what attracted me to this film.
The biggest strength of this film is Harish's clear vision. He clearly knows what he wants. He planned the scenes precisely, without doing unnecessary things. The planning was so thorough that I finished my work a day early and sent it to him.
The world of 'Gon City' created in the film is very interesting. It is not an ordinary city. The director has told what happens inside it and how the people there live with imagination and humor. He has also created that world based on some true events.
I would like to especially commend the work of cinematographer Aravind Viswanathan. His approach, the way he saw the scenes and created the look of the film was very good. I hope he grows into one of the talented cinematographers of today's generation.
Similarly, editor Arul Moses has done an amazing job, even for a first film. His editing is of the highest quality. He has handled the pace and excitement of the film well.
Arjun Das continues to reach new heights as an actor. This film will give him a huge success. Yogi Babu, Vadivukkarasi Amma and all the other actors have brought their characters to life brilliantly.
Today, releasing a film in theaters is a bigger challenge than making it. 'Khan City' has overcome that challenge and is now meeting the audience. I sincerely congratulate Harish and the team for that.
This film should be a huge success and the hard work of the crew should be recognized. All the fans should come to the theaters and watch the film and show their support. Thank you all.”
Actor Aruldas spoke:
“Hello everyone. It was a great experience for me to work with the 'Con City' crew. Most of the crew is from the younger generation. From the outside, they may look like a college prom group. But they are all experienced and talented professionals. That is the biggest strength of this crew.
If I have to say something about director Harish, I would say that he knows what he wants very clearly. He doesn't shoot unnecessary scenes, but precisely shoots only what is necessary for the story. As a result, the shooting went very smoothly and the artists didn't get tired.
In today's digital age, it has become common to shoot the same scene from multiple angles. But Harish is not like that. He took only what was necessary for the story and worked without wasting time. That is his strength.
Cinematographer Aravind Viswanathan, costume designer Nava and other technicians have all done their job very well. Each one has raised the standard of the film.
This is not my first film with Arjun Das. I have already had the experience of working with him. He has acted with great dedication in this film too. Harish has worked in many good films and has gained experience. That experience is clearly evident in this film.
The shooting went very smoothly. All the tasks were completed within the planned time frame. Dubbing and other tasks were also completed quickly. I was completely satisfied when I watched the film.
In any film I act in, I don't look at whether the character is big or small. I only look at whether the character has significance. In this film, I have played the role of an electricity board officer. It is a very interesting and important role for the story. I believe that this team will play an important role in the future of Tamil cinema. Our cinema grows only because new creators and new technicians keep coming. The film 'Con City' will bring out many talents in that way. The combination of Sean Roldan and Mohan Rajan has been delivering great works. They have done a great job in this film too.
I sincerely wish this film a huge success and give director Harish great recognition as a great director and producer in Tamil cinema. Thank you to everyone.”
Iman Annachi spoke:
“My warmest regards to everyone. I have also played a role in the movie 'Kaan City'. First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to director Harish for choosing me for that role.
When I first arrived at the set, there was an atmosphere full of energy from the young generation. From the cameramen to the assistant directors, everyone was working with great enthusiasm and dedication. When I saw that atmosphere, I felt like I was on a college campus.
At one point, I asked the director himself, 'Was it the right decision to choose me for this role?' To which he replied, 'I wrote this role with you in mind.' Those words gave me great joy and hope.
Arjun Das has worked with great dedication for this film. The effort and patience he has taken for certain scenes is commendable. He can perfectly adapt to any look and any character. I hope this film will give him a huge success.
It was a very enjoyable experience working with Vadivukkarasi Amma, Yogi Babu and all the other actors. There was always a family feeling on the set.
The entire technical team of this film has worked hard. Their hard work and dedication are visible in every scene of the film. Especially the efforts of director Harish and the hard work he put in to make this film are to be commended.
"'Khan City' is a powerful entertainer that will captivate the audience. All people should come to the theaters to watch the film and support it. I sincerely wish that this film becomes a huge success and that the hard work of the film crew will be rewarded accordingly. Thank you to everyone."

Actor Sadanand spoke..,
“Good evening everyone. My name is Sadanand. This is my first film, my first stage experience. First of all, thank you to everyone who supported me by watching the trailer.
The first person I have to thank for this opportunity is director Harish. I have known him for the last three and a half years. The journey of this story has been with him since the beginning. One day he suddenly called me and asked, 'There is a character in this script, will you play it?' I immediately agreed. That is how my journey in this film began.
I had a personal trainer to help me with my acting. Before the shoot, I practiced and memorized the lines for a week to prepare. But sometimes on the set, new lines were given. I had to memorize them and act them out within minutes. Although it was a challenge for me, it was a great experience.
Arjun Das sir was very supportive while acting with me. He created an environment where I felt comfortable as a new actor. I am grateful to him for that.
Working with senior artists like Iman Annachi Sir and Yogi Babu Anna was an unforgettable experience. Yogi Babu Anna was always kind and encouraging. That boosted my self-confidence.
Every day I worked on this film was a new lesson for me. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to director Harish and the entire crew for giving me this opportunity.
I request you to support the film by watching it in theaters, just as you supported the trailer. My thanks to all the journalists, media friends and fans. Thank you.”

Child star Akilan spoke:
“Hello everyone. My name is Akilan. I have played a very interesting character in the movie 'Ghan City'. I hope you like the character. Watch the movie and give your comments.
My heartfelt thanks to director Harish Uncle for giving me this opportunity. I also express my gratitude to all the actors and technicians who worked in this film. I request everyone to watch the film in theaters and support it. Thank you.”
Maali & Manvi Movie Makers producer Sidhu Nair spoke...
“Good evening everyone. First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the journalists and media friends who have participated in this event.
Many people today said that this film was their first experience. Similarly, this is my first film experience as a co-producer. Even though our company is in the film industry, this is the first time for me to directly listen to the script of a film and invest in it.
One day, I heard about director Harish through my team. They said he was making a film and was looking for a co-producer. Then I went to meet him. It was the first time in my life that I was going to hear a complete script.
We went to his office at night. Harish started narrating the story. He took about 45 minutes to tell the first half of the story. I then asked him, 'Can we talk about budget and financial matters?' But he said, 'There is still the second half. We can talk about that after listening to that too.'
Generally, one should not reveal one's interest in negotiations. But when I heard that story, I was very impressed. Even though it was my first experience with screenwriting, I could feel the depth in that story. I was very impressed by Harish's clarity of thought and his belief in the story.
In particular, the fact that he was involved in this film not only as a director but also as a producer, showed his confidence in his work. That gave me courage too. That night we shook hands and decided to start this journey together.
After that, I had a question in my mind. 'He tells the story so well. But can he successfully bring it to the screen?' But when I went to the set, that doubt was completely removed. The energy, discipline, dedication and professional approach there gave me a lot of confidence.
At that moment, I was convinced that this film would be a success. Later, when I saw the preview of the film, I was truly surprised. The film exceeded my expectations.
This film has been made with a great content. The role of journalists and media friends is very important in bringing such films to the people. You are a huge force in deciding the future of a film. So I kindly request you to watch this film and bring its quality to the people. I am sure that all the fans will enjoy watching this film in the theaters. Once again, I express my gratitude to everyone. Thank you.”
Klout Studios Producer Arun Prajith Manoharan spoke:
“Hello everyone. Many journalists and media friends already know me. I have been working as an Executive Producer and in production management roles in films for the past several years. I have experience in many roles related to actors and production.
I had been wanting to make a film for a long time. At one point, Harish contacted me one night and said he wanted to meet me. At first, I was not in the mood to listen to the story. I said, 'I won't listen to the story, just read the story.' But that meeting became the beginning of this film.
After Harish narrated the story in full, I forgot many things I had planned and immediately said, 'I'm in this film.' That's how much the story captivated me.
The biggest strength of this story is that it is relatable to everyone's life. Money is an unavoidable issue in human life. The film talks about that in a very interesting way. So I hope this story will reach everyone easily.
I didn't go to the sets often during the shooting. I had that much faith in Harish. After watching the preview of the film, that faith increased many times over. I was sure that this film would definitely be a big hit.
Arjun Das and I have been friends for about twelve years. We met before the film Khaiti and dreamed of making good films. It is a pleasure to be associated with that journey today in a film like 'Kaan City'. This film will be a very important milestone in Arjun Das's film journey. The audience will see a new Arjun Das in it that they have never seen before. I hope this film will give him a huge success.
Vadivukkarasi Amma, Akilan, Aruldas, Sadanand and all the other actors have given amazing performances. The work of the technical team including cinematographer Aravind Viswanathan, art director Rajkamal, and editor Arul Moses has further elevated the quality of the film.
Music composer Shawn Roldan and lyricist Mohan Rajan have come together to deliver a wonderful collection of songs. Each song is unique and memorable.
'Ghan City' is an entertaining film that can be enjoyed by a family. It has features that everyone from children to adults can enjoy. Moreover, the story will easily connect people with many things happening in today's society.
You have always supported films with good content. We are confident that you will bring this film to the masses. I would like to request everyone to support the film 'Kaan City' which will be released in theatres on June 26th. Thank you all.”
Delta Studios Muthukumar Ayyappan spoke:
“Hello everyone. First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Director Harish. We felt a lot of confidence after watching the film. Especially the morning after watching the preview, our confidence in this film was confirmed.
We were very impressed with Harish's hard work and the quality of the film. I request everyone to support this film. Thank you.”
This is a speech given by composer Shawn Roldan.
Composer Shawn Roldan spoke:
Hello everyone. It's a great pleasure to meet all the journalists and media friends. Before talking about 'Khan City', I think I should first talk about Director Harish.
I am usually a very tense person. I get very nervous when a film is about to release. But when Harish first spoke to me about 'Kaan City', I had the same doubts as everyone else. 'Can this really be done? Can I fulfill such a big dream?' I had the same questions.
But for the first time in my life, I met a director; the amount of confidence he had when he told the story, and when I finally saw the film, the same thing remained on the screen without changing even an inch. He had fulfilled what he said exactly. I sincerely appreciate Harish for that.
Not only as a director, Harish is someone who has taken the field with his own investment for his own dream. It is easy to have a dream. But it is very difficult to fight for that dream by risking your money, life and time. That courage inspired me a lot. Harish is more than a friend to me, he is an inspiration.
I have seen the journey of this film from the beginning. Standing on this stage, even watching the trailer, made me emotional because I know how many sleepless nights and how many struggles lie behind that smile.
Arjun Das is the main reason why this film has become this big. He naturally has the weight and personality needed for this story. When I worked with him, I realized one thing. There are many talented people in this field. But only a few get a special place. The reason is their conscience and honesty. Arjun has that purity. I hope this film will confirm that next step for him.
Anna Ben is a wonderful artist. Vadivukkarasi Amma is a legend. As someone who loves 80s Tamil cinema, it was a great pleasure for me to work with her. Every scene she appears on screen has a special weight.
If I have to say about Yogi Babu, I believe he has a divine gift. From children to adults, whoever sees him, he brings a smile to their face. That is not an ordinary thing. I have heard from him himself how much he struggled to reach this place. That journey is very inspiring.
Everyone who acted in this film, from the little child to Aruldas sir, Iman Annachi, Sadanand, everyone has given their full potential. It is because of that dedication that this music and this world have come to life.
Working with lyricist Mohan Rajan on this film was a great experience. There are two songs that are yet to be released. I am very proud of them. We had a desire to bring back the soul of the philosophical songs of old Tamil cinema. Harish put forward that idea. Those two songs based on that are very important in my musical journey.
I have been composing music for Tamil cinema for thirteen years. But I have a personal pride in these two songs. Half of that pride belongs to Mohan Rajan and half to Harish.
“I have to say something special about Vijay. He is a unique person. Beyond the things he can do for himself, he has come forward to do many good things for the entire film industry today. He spreads happiness and positive thoughts wherever he goes. He has a very pure mind. He acts with good intentions. It was a happy experience for me to work with him. I am happy to work with him again.
"'Con City' will bring laughter, joy and satisfaction to the fans. At the same time, it will also make us think about the society we live in. It will be a film that will entertain and also make a statement. 'Con City' is not an ordinary film. It is the result of the dreams, hard work and faith of many. The film will be released in theaters on June 26th. Everyone should come and watch the film with their families and support it. Thank you.”
Actress Vadikukarasi spoke..,
“My greetings to all the journalists and media friends. It is a pleasure that you all are here for this film. If the film crew is the one who keeps the lamp of ‘Con City’ lit, then the responsibility of bringing it to the people in a bright light belongs to the media. I am confident that you will do a good job of that responsibility.
When director Harish approached me to do this film, he was very honest. He said frankly, 'I didn't write this character with you in mind, but I think it would be a good fit if you did it now.' I really liked that honesty.
After that, I sat in his office and listened to the entire story. He narrated the story with great passion and emotion for more than two hours. After listening to the story, I decided that I definitely wanted to act in this film.
Everyone on the set was from the younger generation. But they all had a dedicated and professional approach. So the shoot went very smoothly. I really enjoyed the experience of working with the new generation of filmmakers.
Working with Yogi Babu, Arjun Das and everyone else was an unforgettable experience. I was especially impressed by Arjun Das' dedication and hard work. I hope he reaches even greater heights with this film.
Director Harish was very clear and planned throughout the shoot. His confidence and determination are the biggest strengths of this film. Every day of working on this film was a pleasant experience for me. The entire team worked together like a family. I believe that is why this film turned out so well.
I acted in this film despite having health issues. I had to be admitted to the hospital the day after the shoot. But I will never forget the care the crew showed me during that time.
Arjun Das, Yogi Babu and all the young artists in the film crew were very kind and respectful. Arjun Das in particular always helped me when I needed it and took great care of me.
Everyone who has acted in this film has worked hard. Everything may look easy from the outside. But behind the scenes, there is a lot of hard work and dedication. The fans are going to see the fruits of that hard work on screen.
Director Harish and his brother Bharath both have years of experience. They have fully utilized the experience they have gained from working in various production houses in this film. That is why the film has been made in a very planned manner.
I loved this film from the day I heard the story. The two-hour storytelling experience completely captivated me. I hope the audience will experience the same feeling in the theaters.
'Gone City' is not just an entertaining film. It is a film that makes people laugh and be happy, while also conveying a good message and social awareness. It also has elements that make you think about money, desires, and decisions in life.
"The audience will forget their worries for two hours and be happy after watching this film. At the same time, they will also take away a good message. I sincerely wish this film a huge success due to the hard work of director Harish and the entire team. Thank you."
Actor Yogi Babu spoke...
“Hello everyone. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to director Harish, the producers and the entire crew for giving me the opportunity to act in this film.
I have a good friendship with Arjun Das. I have been working with him in films continuously. I often joke that a hero needs a good friend and doesn't even need a heroine. That's how close our friendship is.
I have known Harish for many years, not just today. I have seen his hard work and dedication to cinema since the time he worked on many films. He had expressed his desire to become a director for many years. Even then, I told him, 'You definitely want to become a director.'
Today, it is very happy to see him emerging as a director and everyone talking so much about him. This is just the beginning. I sincerely wish him to continue directing big films with big actors and reach even greater heights.
Arjun Das has put in a lot of effort for this film. His dedication and professional approach always impresses me. It was a joyous experience to work with him again.
The entire team of this film worked together like a family. Everyone on the set helped each other and worked hard to make the film a success. That unity is the biggest strength of this film.
The cinematographer, music director, art director, costume designer, and assistant directors all contributed their best. The fruits of their labor are clearly visible on screen.
I sincerely pray that this film will be a success. 'Kaan City' will be a great entertainment film that will delight the audience and can be enjoyed with the family. Everyone should come to the theaters and support it.
Thank you once again to all the artists, technicians, producers, journalists and media friends who worked on this film. I wish 'Con City' a huge success. Thank you.”
Actress Anna Benn spoke...
“Hello everyone. I am trying to speak Tamil. Please forgive me if there are any mistakes. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to all the journalists and media friends who are participating in this event and supporting the movie 'Ghan City'.
This is my second Tamil film. The love and appreciation you gave me when I played the character Meena in the film 'Kottukkaali' was a huge encouragement to me. I have played a completely opposite role to that Meena character in the film 'Ghan City'.
When director Harish first told me about this role, I was very nervous. It was a character in a new dimension that I had never played before. The acting style, the expression, and the scale of the character were completely different. So it was a big challenge for me.
Even though I had heard many commercial stories before, I was hesitant about how I would fit into that world. But Harish had complete faith in me. He kept encouraging me, saying, 'You can do this. It will be different and unexpected.' That faith gave me the courage to do this role.
What I admired most about Harish was his unwavering faith. No matter what challenges came up on the set, no matter what doubts arose, he always faced them calmly and confidently. His love and dedication to cinema impressed me a lot.
The hard work he put into making this film is immeasurable. From the day the film was started to its release on June 26, he was determined to give his best at every stage. He was fully involved in everything from the songs, advertisements, promotions, to the release. For that, my heartfelt congratulations and thanks to him.
I had tried to work with Arjun Das many times. It has come true with this film. Everyone knows that he is talented as an actor. But as a person he is also very simple and kind. He treated everyone equally on the set and worked very cooperatively.
Vadivukkarasi ma'am is a legend. Working with him was a dream come true for me. The experiences they share while working with senior artists will always be a huge lesson for me. He spent a lot of time with me during this shoot and shared his experiences. He also helped me overcome my initial fear of speaking Tamil dialogues.
If I had to say about Yogi Babu sir, I think he would have added ten years to my life. Because he always makes everyone laugh. Whatever he says, both on and off camera, makes us laugh. Working with him is a very happy experience.
Akilan is my son on screen. A very talented and loving boy. The experience of working with Foxy and the other artists was also very pleasant. Everyone who worked on this film was very supportive of me.
Music composer Shawn Roldan's music is a huge strength of this film. Also, this is the first time I have danced in this film. Special thanks to Santosh Master for that. He taught me challenging dance moves with confidence and encouraged me.
I request everyone to support the film 'Ghan City' by watching it in theaters. Thank you all for coming to this event and for your continued support.”
Actor Arjun Das spoke...
“Hello everyone. First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Director Harish. He has been taking this film forward with a very clear plan from the beginning, with full confidence and determination. The dedication, hard work and self-confidence he has shown as a director is highly commendable.
The efforts made by the producers to bring this film to the masses on such a large scale are immense. The promotion they have done for the film with posters, banners, advertisements all over the city has made me very happy. I would like to thank all the producers for that.
Likewise, thanks to Abhihimsa Films, Delta Studios, and everyone who supported the film, who participated in the release. My thanks also to those who watched and appreciated the film.
'Gone City' is a film that can be enjoyed with family, friends, and relatives. It has emotions, humor, and at the same time, a beautiful story that touches the heart.
Every actor in this film has given their best performance. The contribution of Anna Ben, Vadivukkarasi Amma, Yogi Babu, Aruldas and all the other artists is a huge strength of the film.
Composer Shawn Roldan has provided wonderful music. The hard work of the technical team has also elevated the quality of the film.
I am confident that everyone will like this film. Come to the theaters with confidence. I am sure that you will return home happy after watching the film. I would like to once again express my gratitude to all the senior artists, technicians and the entire crew who worked with me on this film.
Please continue to support the film 'Ghan City'. Thank you all.”
Director Harish Durairaj spoke..,
“Hello everyone. First of all, there are two very important people I want to thank on this platform. Kuna Pro Post Office and Vijay Pro (Silver Tree Studios). Without them, the company 'Powerhouse Pictures' and the film 'Khan City' would not have been born. They have been with me and supported me from the beginning till today.
In cinema, I always pray to God that good people should be with me. In that regard, I express my heartfelt gratitude to my producers, partners, friends and family.
The film's co-producers, distributors, audio rights holders, and OTT owners all have placed immense faith in this film. Without their support, this journey would not have been possible.
I have to personally thank my technical team. Cinematographer Foxy, editor Arul Moses, art director Raj, music composer Shawn Roldan, choreographer Santhosh and the entire technical team were the backbone of this film. It is because of their hard work that we were able to complete this film in just 55 days.
The collaboration between lyricist Mohan Rajan and composer Shawn Roldan is a huge strength for this film. All seven songs in the film are very special to me. I hope the audience will enjoy the songs that are not yet released.
If we talk about the actors and actresses, everyone has given their best contribution. Vadivukkarasi Amma's performance is appreciated by everyone who has seen the film. I can say that choosing her for this role was one of the best decisions of my life.
Anna Ben has given a great performance in this film. Her character will amaze the audience. Similarly, Yogi Babu Anna has been a very personal support to me. He is the one who has been continuously encouraging me to direct the film for the last five years. I will never forget his contribution for this film.
Similarly, if Arjun Das sir had not agreed to this film, 'Kaan City' would not have been made. He has acted with great dedication and elegance. I believe this film will be an important milestone in his film journey.
Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends. I would like to express my special gratitude to my wife. She believed in me and married me when I was earning Rs. 10,000 per month. She has been with me for the past five years and has endured all the hardships for my dream. Her support is also a major reason why I am standing on this stage today.
"The film 'Ghan City' is releasing on June 26th. I kindly request you to watch this film in theaters with your family and support it. Thank you all."
