Naalaiya Iyakkunar – Actor Lyricist Snegan Talks Movie About Screenwriters
The pooja of the film Naalaiya Iyakkunar written and directed by director Siddique and produced by Yogaraj Sebastian under SAS Productions was held. Actor and lyricist Sinegan, Iman Annachi, Salem RR Tamil Selvan, Kool Suresh, Choreographer Deena and the film crew participated in this function.
Lyricist Snegan, who spoke on the platform,
Naalaiya Iyakkunar – I am happy to be in this film. Congratulating Siddhi who came as a director after the struggle to get a place in the cinema, this film is a film about cinema people, very few films come like this. More stories related to cinema should come out like this
Responding to a question on the Ilayaraja-Vairamuthu issue, Sinekan said that fighting for one’s rights is never wrong. Time has passed and now they are starting a debate. I don’t want to comment on that. A film needs a song rather than music for a song or a song for music. I am going towards it.
He asks for his right.
Still there is hope that justice is alive in the court. Justice will be given to whoever is on the side of justice. It is his right to fight to uphold one’s rights. The court should say whether justice will be given to them or whether this is right or wrong. I cannot interfere with this.
There is already a company called IPRS. How music is used globally. There is a big structure to who should get that right. It is on that basis that Ilayaraja Sir claims the right. The logic in it is that discussions should be decided, and although the producer is the one who puts the money, they have created a system here.
When a song plays over and over again, who should join it? It is in the bylaws who created it. Based on that they file a case. It is still not resolved. You can tell when it comes. When a case or debate is in court, I cannot settle it as an individual.
To the question asked about Rajinikanth’s singing in Kooli and the copyrights have been put on it, I will definitely raise my voice when my rights are lost. But those who have the strength to take it to court are fighting. Some people like us are quiet until the opportunity comes. They fight for their rights. The court will tell how much justice there is. There is no one who is big or small in making mistakes. A mistake is a mistake no matter who does it. He asks that it is wrong. The court is going to say whether it is wrong or not. He says that he is asking a company that this company is using my songs and maybe they have asked me for a permission. This cannot be predicted from outside.
This is a long overdue case. They have been talking about you and me for 20 years and this is a decision that both of them have to take together. We don’t know where this misogyny started. Music is as important to a composer as writing is to a writer. Tamil cinema also has some naams for the song. I don’t think it’s wrong to ask when using it without saying anything to him. Can be used in the future. In many films, Ilayaraja sir has asked his permission to use his songs. He didn’t say anything to that. No case was filed. We don’t know whether he asked for money or bought it. At least ask my permission, he says
Regarding Gangai Amaran talking about Vairamuthu, there is no need for him to talk after such a long time. It’s over. After that we can talk if any problem comes while writing. Can anyone in the cinema tell me what is the problem and the exact reason for the separation of Ilayaraja, Vairamuthu & Gangai Amaran? There is no beginning and no end. Why should we make it the subject of debate in between? As far as I know, he should not have spoken after the time. He should not have said too much. That is the humble request that I have respect for both of them.
Actor Iman Annachi spoke on the stage of the program.
A film about cinema. He said that the director said that I should act in it and this film will definitely be a hit.
Actor cool Suresh spoke on stage
I am happy that I got a chance to act in this film. The opportunity came through Iman Annachi. We always have a crowd behind us. He said that this is a group he has joined.
Producer Yograj Sebastian speaks,
After a long struggle we got the title Naalaiya Iyakkunar for this film. I am very happy to get the title. We are all filmmakers. A blanket is wrapped around the cinema. We have to bring out who is hiding under that blanket. Success does not come easily to all filmmakers. I moved up and down many places to work as an assistant director. Things that happened to me should not happen to others. Opportunity should be created or opportunity should be taken. That’s how I got this story. He said that starting as a small story, why shouldn’t a filmmaker make a story, we have made this story.
Director Siddique introduced everyone present and said that this film is a very big film and a big thank you to the producer for giving the opportunity to real artists as screen artists.
