The second single from the upcoming film Kuzhanthaigal Munnetra Kazhagam (KMK), starring Yogi Babu and Senthil, was unveiled on Friday. Titled 'Frienda Pola', the song has been sung by Junior Nithya with lyrics by the late director Shankar Dayal N who has helmed this film. The filmmaker recently passed away due to a heart ailment.
A few weeks back, the makers had released 'Politics Therlana Bommeru' which also had lyrics by the director.
As the title suggests, the film is expected to deal with politics with a special appeal to the children. Apart from Senthil and Yogi Babu, the film also stars Lizzie Antony, Saravanan, Subbu Panchu, Chitra Lakshmanan, and the late Mayilsamy.
Shankar Dayal made his directorial debut with the Karthi starrer Saguni in 2012. He is making a return to Tamil cinema after many years. Shankar is also producing the film with Arunkumar Sammantham under the Meenakshi Amman Movies banner.
In an earlier interview with CE, the filmmaker said film does not take any political stance. "Without propagating political hatred or showing any violence, the film merely tells the audience that there is no malaise in politics. Our society does not ask children to embrace politics from a young age; it often tells them to study to become engineers and doctors, but why not politics? After all, our great leaders like Gandhi and Ambedkar had that fire from such a young age," he explained.
On the technical front, the film has cinematography by J Laxman Kumar (Poda Podi) and editing by Richard Kevin (Vikram Vedha). The band Shankar's Saadhaga Paravaigal will be making their feature film debut by composing the music for the film.
A release date is yet to be announced by the makers.
