Myna Musings

There was a function to felicitate the Director-producer of the new sensational Tamil movie, Myna, at the Ajman Royal Palace Hotel. The meeting was hurriedly conducted, inviting only a few members of Humor club.


The director had come to Dubai for the screening of the movie at the 7th International film festival-DIFF2010.

Before the meeting, I was interacting with the director Prabu Solomon about his journey to success. He was quite philosophical in saying that 'successes don't come by luck but only earned by the dint of hard work'. If one has to wait for luck to favor then it is almost impossible to achieve success.

He also pointed out the habit of many people who would fall into a trap of superstitions and beliefs about the influence of celestial forces. They would not take up any venture during such 'bad period', fearing that they will fail.

Talking about the movie, he said that the main reason for the success was the choice of location and, the cast who are new faces, synchronising very well with the local charactors. He was quick to add that the beautiful locations of the movie worked out to be the 'second hero' of the movie, which was so refreshing and never picturised by other cinematographers.

My journalist friend was probing the director very enthusiastically. I whispered into his ears that he could bag a grand-father role in his next film, whilst I may settle for a slightly inferior role of, say Hero's....... father!
