The music launch of the film was held on Friday (March 15) evening at Sairam College in Chennai with grand fanfare in the presence of 8000 students. Following are the highlights of the event…
Actor Jayam Ravi said…
“Dheeraj is one of the very few close friends I have. It’s great to be here for him. I’m glad he’s started acting in films. I hope we both act together soon.
The title ‘Double Tuckerr’ seems to have been coined for him because Dheeraj shines in both the roles of a doctor and an actor. I have been a fan of Vidyasagar’s music since childhood. I am very happy that he has composed the music for this film. He has worked with a young team. His music will definitely be a big plus for this film.”
‘Ayalaan’ director Ravikumar said…
“Having directed ‘Ayalaan’ I know how difficult it is to make a film with graphics technology. Kudos to the team of ‘Double Tuckerr’ for doing it.
I know Dheeraj as a cardiologist. It is very challenging for him to multitask as a doctor and an actor. But he is doing it efficiently. He is already a heart specialist, and I hope he will win people’s hearts through movies as well. Kudos to director Meera Mahadhi and the team for making this very unique attempt possible with their hardwork.”
Music composer Vidyasagar said…
“I knew Dheeraj, the hero of ‘Double Tuckerr’ as a small boy and later as a doctor. One day he came to me, conveyed his decision to act in films and requested me to compose music for ‘Double Tuckerr’. Then director Meera Mahadi narrated me the story of the film. I liked it so much and agreed to score the music.
Everyone who has worked in ‘Double Tuckerr’ has done a great job. Especially, the work of technicians is tremendous. My sincere gratitude to all my fans who have been supporting me for the past 34 years. Music is beyond age and other boundaries. Tamil people always support good music. Your love and support have brought me here. The four songs in ‘Double Tuckerr’ are of four genres. I hope you enjoy the music and the film, thank you.”
Dheeraj, the protagonist of the film, said…
“I am grateful to Sairam College for giving me this stage occupied earlier by leading stars like Rajini, Kamal, Vijay and Shah Rukh Khan. A big thanks to Vidyasagar who has given wonderful music for ‘Double Tuckerr’.
Thanks to director Ravikumar and Jayam Ravi for their love and support. Our desire to deliver a vibrant film has been fulfilled. Watch ‘Double Tuckerr’ in theatres, enjoy and go home happily. Thanks to all the veteran artistes who worked with me. I hope you all like the movie, thank you.”
Actress Smruthi Venkat said…
“Greetings to everyone. I am very happy that the music of this film is released in front of students. I am a huge fan of Vidyasagar since childhood. I am very happy to act in his music.
Thanks to everyone including Jayam Ravi and director Ravikumar who came to the event. ‘Double Tuckerr’ will entertain you, excite you and definitely not disappoint you. It’s a pleasure to work with a great team for this film and I request everyone to watch the movie in theatres and support it.”
Director Meera Mahadhi said…
“Thanks to Vidyasagar sir for composing music for my first film. Thanks to Jayam Ravi sir and director Ravikumar, the two Ravis who have come here.
‘Double Tuckerr’ is a first-of-its-kind venture in India. We have made this movie with faith on you, the young generation who is always ready to support such projects. Come and enjoy this movie with your family.”
Actor M S Bhaskar said…
“This film is a great team effort. I have a small role in it, but a very good one. The team of ‘Double Tuckerr’ has taken an innovative initiative with graphics. I request you to watch the film and make it a success.
I wish the producer and director of this movie to make many more films. Dheeraj has acted very well. I have acted in many films which had Vidyasagar’s music. His wonderful music has enhanced ‘Double Tuckerr’.”
Actor Kali Venkat said…
“Acting in this movie is a unique experience. ‘Double Tuckerr’ is a great movie as the title suggests. It’s great to have Vidyasagar’s music for this movie. Everyone in my home is his fan. Dheeraj’s dynamism is amazing. Director Meera Mahadhi is like a magician. Everyone from kids to elders can enjoy this movie.”
Actor Karunakaran said…
“Thank you, Vidyasagar sir for making our college days sweet with your music. We are all die-hard fans of your songs. It’s a pleasure to act in this innovative film. Dheeraj who has mended many hearts will win many more hearts with this film.”
Chandru, the co-producer and co-writer of the film said…
“I have seen the movie and it is very good. I hope you all like it. Thank you Jayam Ravi and director Ravikumar for coming to this event. I hope you all enjoyed watching ‘Double Tuckerr’ teaser. We are waiting to present the movie to you very soon.
Vidyasagar sir is the hero of this function. He is said to be the favourite composer of 90s kids. But 2K Kids also vibed a lot when his songs were playing during this show. So we can understand that he is admired across generations. Theatres screening ‘Double Tuckerr’ will be the perfect place to spend this year’s summer vacation with joy.”
