Saregama Tamil's official YouTube channel has released a lyric video for the first single from the forthcoming movie August 16, 1947, starring Gautham Karthik. The song is titled Kottikara Payalae, and it appears to be a peppy dance number. Sean Roldan composed the music, and NS Ponkumar, who also directed the film, wrote the lyrics. Sean Roldan and Meenakshi Elayaraja sang the song. The release of this upbeat number has built anticipation for the full album, which is expected to come out soon. Saregama south further wrote about the song, "Here you go, the first single from #1947August16 #KottikaraPayalae - a fun-filled “RAG-ON” song Let us hear what the people of “Sengadu village” got to say about Paraman."
N.S. Ponkumar, a former associate of renowned filmmaker A.R. Murugadoss, is making his directorial debut with the film August 16, 1947, which is expected to have a major release soon. The film features an accomplished technical team that includes cinematographer Selvakumar SK, editor Sudharsan R, art director T Santhanam, and music director Sean Roldan. This film marks Murugadoss' sixth production venture, following his successful productions such as Engaeyum Eppothum, Vathikuchi, Raja Rani, Maan Karate, and 10 Endrathukulla. The lead cast of the film includes Gautham Karthik, Revathy in her debut role, and Pugazh from Cooku with Comali playing a significant part.
The film's trailer, which was released on Independence Day, received a massive response from the audience. The film's plot appears to be inspired by India's struggle for freedom. The trailer features numerous scenes from the movie, showing Gautham Karthik defending his village against the brutal retaliation of the British forces. The trailer introduces Gautham Karthik's character as a villager who falls in love with the debutant actress Revathy, with Pugazh narrating how Mahatma Gandhi fought against the British. Overall, August 16, 1947, seems to be an exciting and promising film that could captivate audiences with its engaging storyline and strong performances.
