Those who have seen it are full of praise. Those who have not seen it are dying to see it.Cheran is however, waiting patiently for the Sivakasi fireworks and uproarious Majaa to die down.

Once he had made his decision to make the film, Cheran did something no one else has done. He narrated the film scene by scene to his assistants, the cameraman and his assistants. For one month, the scenes were discussed till everyone identified with the film. "After discussing together, we deleted the unwanted portions and added the necessary elements. That's how the final script evolved." The patient Cheran is impressed by Raj Kiran. "I said he has to be with me for 3 months. He stayed on for 10 months till the film was over. The character of Muthiah, the father of Ramalingam (Cheran's name in the film), portrayed by him is something that every father can identify with."

Like 'Autograph,' 'Thavamai Thavamirundhu' is in the classical mould. It spans a number of years. "As time lapses, the characters also look different. The heroine Padmapriya also looks different as time goes by," says Cheran who feels that Raj Kiran's character is the central focus of the film.

Since the decision was made to shoot the film in digital technique, they had to make themselves familiar with the latest in digital technology and joined classes in Digital Updating.

"We shot several times to understand the digital output. Every time we were not satisfied, we tried several times till we were finally convinced, before we started shooting for the actual film. This pre-shooting cost alone ran to about 25 lakhs."

After so much hard work, Cheran does not cling to the film as exclusively his work. "This is a joint effort. 210 eyes, 210 legs, 210 hands worked to make this film happen."
Those with big hearts will definitely create big works of art.

Cheran's plus point is his large heart!
