The promising team of “Kanaa” looked High spirited during the occasion of the pre-release event that was held at Prasad Lab in Chennai. The occasion commenced with the screening of ‘Making of Kanaa’, Sneak Peek and visuals of players from Indian and Australian Women Cricket Team.
Aishwarya Rajesh said, “I lost my father at the age of 10. When working with Sathyaraj sir, I would imagine that my father would have been the same now if alive. I had some
emotional connect with father in Dharmadurai, but in Kanaa, it traveled throughout the show. Darshan has a wonderful screen appearance and he will be recognized as a good actor in this film. Ilavarasu sir was truly encouraging as he would often take personal interest in the escalation of my career. We as a team have done a new experiment and attempt.”
Actor Sathyaraj said, “What I liked about producer Kalai is his nature to felicitate the Sound engineer and Sound mixing person on stage. Because these days, the technicians don’t get more Focus. Aishwarya Rajesh’s hard work was unconditional and in spite of not knowing cricket, she underwent huge practice and made it happen on par with the real life cricketers. Everyone in the team have “Kanaa” and I have something huge and bigger than all. I dream bigger that Kanaa. becomes successful in China as well. Arunraja Kamaraj has deep insight into many social subjects. When a filmmaker like Arunraja Kamarajwho has insight about social welfare must win as it will be a win-win situation for both him
and well being of society.”
Director Arunraja Kamaraj said, “Dream bigis the ultimate concept of Kanaa. I myself have been filled with such dreams and kept working for it. One day Sivakarthikeyan asked me if I have any script.He told to bring me something big and I narrated him the one line of a tale based on Women Cricket. Feeling the freshness and first of its kind, he gave anod to
proceed with the full bound script. There were lots of friends besides me to help me shape this script. The film will have a different pattern of narration in first and second half, where editor Ruben came into the picture and helped us in finest output.Cinematographer Dinesh would keep encouraging me that Ideas have no budget and we have to think big. Usually many movies have given the picturing of real cricket matches, but for the first time we have tried giving a feel of watchingit in TV. For the first time when I narrated script to Sathyaraj sir, I was literally nervous, but he encouraged me to proceed and gave his nod. I have to thank each and everyone in the team for being unconditionally
contributing toward sthe film.”
ActorDarshan said, “Just as the title Kanaa, I had a huge dream of making into film industry. I am so thankful to Sivakarthikeyan Anna for making my dream come true. Everyone has done a hard work in the film. Especially, Aishwarya Rajesh hadgiven the uttermost effort. Despite the huge injury, she continued to shoot for the film. Working with Sathyaraj sir was like a school experience and it was great working with him. If not for
Arunraja Kamaraj, this would have not been possible. Once Sivakarthikeyan brother made a surprisevisit to the shoot and wanted to see my foot ages. I was standing outside carvan nervously and he came back saying that I have exceeded his expectations, which propelled me to perform more.”
