Basuva Raju Sundaram is an Indian dance choreographer, actor and director, who works primarily in Tamil and Telugu films. He appeared as an actor in films like Jeans (1998), 123 (2002), I Love You Da (2002), Quick Gun Murugun (2009); and directed one film, Aegan (2008). He is the son of dancer Mugur Sundar, and the elder brother of choreographers Prabhu Deva and Nagendra Prasad.[1]
He won the National Film Award for Best Choreography for his work in the song "Pranamam Pranamam" song from the film Janatha Garage (2016)[2] and "Paala Pitta" song from the film Maharshi (2019).[3]
Sundaram began his career assisting as a choreographer for his father Mugur Sundar's projects, before going on to lead troupes. He was a dancer in "Rukkumani Rukkumani" from Mani Ratnam's Roja (1992) and in Aasai (1995). He also regularly featured in cameo appearances in songs featuring his brother Prabhu Deva, with the pair making appearances in Shankar's early films Gentleman (1993) and Kadhalan (1994).[4] After being the lead choreographer for a few Kannada films, his first break came through Mani Ratnam's Thiruda Thiruda (1993), where he was given the chance to design dances for three songs.[5] He then went on to become a choreographer of Tamil directors Mani Ratnam and Shankar, and worked on Amitabh Bachchan's album, Aby Baby (1996).
Shankar then offered Sundaram an acting opportunity in his romantic comedy Jeans (1998), where Sundaram played a full-length role. He played the lead in the sports drama I Love You Da (2002) alongside his former girlfriend and actress Simran. The Hindu stated the film proves "serious acting is simply not his cup of tea".[6] After working on an unreleased film titled Colombus, he then went on to feature in the trilingual One Two Three (2003) alongside Jyothika and his brothers. The film opened to mixed reviews and did not perform well at the box office.[7][8] He has since primarily operated as a choreographer, making a few exceptions by starring in comic roles in Jeeva's Unnale Unnale (2007), Prabhu Deva's Engeyum Kadhal (2011) and in the Telugu film, Action 3D (2013).
Shanthi and Suriya, accompanied by a lawyer, come to Raghu's house to get Sona back. At that time, Raghu suffers a serious asthma attack while in the bathroom, and everyone saves him. After recovering, Raghu tells everyone that Sona is not in his sister's house but has been kidnapped by Muthukumaraswamy, who is out on bail. In a turn of events, Raghu issues a fake passport to Muthukumaraswamy, but Raghu does not want him to escape from the police. The two heroes join hands to make sure that this does not happen. Sona is with Muthukumaraswamy's wife, Maya and brother-in-law, Kachiram in a van. Vijay and Suriya both search for Sona, then find out that she is in a van. Sona, after seeing both Vijay and Suriya on a bike, throws her family photo from the van. Meanwhile, the van reaches the safe place, and Kachiram calls Muthukumaraswamy to share the news of their arrival. They both decide to insert a bomb in Sona's hearing device. Maya then decides to save the child. Her brother Kachiram fights her and puts her in the van and activates the bomb which will explode in 10 mins. Then, Vijay and Suriya catch the van, and a fight between Kachiram and Vijay ensues. Meanwhile, Suriya takes Sona home along with her hearing device which still has the bomb. In the middle of the fight, Kachiram drives away in a car. Maya shouts to Vijay to save Sona by telling him about the bomb. At the airport, Kanthaswamy, the Chennai Deputy Commissioner of Police, arrests Muthukumaraswamy. As Suriya reaches home, Vijay follows them. Once Vijay reaches home, he throws away Sona's hearing device before the bomb goes off. The film ends Vijay and Suriya becoming best friends again after a long time and reconciling with their lady loves, and Raghu and Shanthi also embrace each other with Sona.
Initially, Vasanth chose his lead hero from Aasai, Ajith Kumar and Vijay to play the lead roles, though Ajith withdrew from the film 18 days after production began as a result of issues with director Vasanth on not revealing the story to the actor as it involves dual hero subject.[2][3] The film was briefly reported to be titled Manasukkul Varalaama? (Can I Come into your Heart?) and also featured Swathi in the cast.[4] Prabhu Deva was touted as a potential replacement to Ajith, though Vasanth then opted to replace Ajith with a debutant as he was able to commit under short notice.[5] Vasanth then approached Suriya, son of actor Sivakumar, to make his acting debut in the film.[6] Vasanth had earlier unsuccessfully tried to persuade Suriya to star in his previous film, Aasai, in 1995 but the actor's father insisted that Suriya was finally ready to act.[7][8] During the test shoot for the film, cinematographer K. V. Anand revealed that the team were worried how Suriya was going to stand opposite Vijay and that they made him wear two inch heels and made him put some shoulder pads. He added that for the first four days during the shoot in Kolkata, Suriya appeared to be uncomfortable in front of the camera and used to tell the team that he didn't want to do the film.[9][10]
The film was the first Tamil project signed by Simran who was signed by Vasanth after he was impressed with her looks in Tere Mere Sapne, though Once More and VIP released earlier.[11][12] Vasanth signed on Kausalya after seeing and being impressed with her picture at a jewellery shop and was unaware that she had already made her debut in the hit film Kaalamellam Kadhal Vaazhga.[13]
The director revealed he had great difficulty in filming the song "Engengae", as crowds in Kolkata refused to co-operate with the technical team. The filming mainly took place in and around Trivandrum and Kochi, with some minority portions being shot in Chennai.[14][15]
Nerrukku Ner was released on 6 September 1997.[17] R. P. R. of Kalki bemoaned that the "nalla director" (good director) Vasanth gave a garam masala by having villain, bike chase, fights, sada songs, cheesy comedy and regular climax.[18] The film went on to win two Tamil Nadu State Film Awards for 1997 with the child artiste, Jennifer, securing the Best Child Star award for her performance. Harini also won the Best Female Playback Singer award for her rendition of "Manam Virumbuthae" in the album aged just 18.[19][20]
Simran was seen grooving in several coloured sarees since the song was based on the theme of sarees. Selaiyila Veedu Kattava song featured the lead actors of the 1998 film - Ajith and Simran, and it is sung by Unni Krishnan and KS Chithra. The song composed by SA Rajkumar is from the super hit Tamil film 'Aval Varuvala'. The film directed by Raj Kapoor is the Tamil remake of the 1997 Telugu film 'Pelli'.
The touching romantic song Velli Malarae is from the 1999 romantic drama 'Jodi', and it features Prasanth and Simran in lead roles. The song lyrics are written by Vairamuthu, while the vocals are by SP Balasubrahmanyam and Mahalakshmi Iyer. Simran and Prasanth added more strength to the lovable lyrics of Vairamuthu with their exceptional dance. The film is directed by Praveen Gandhi, and the music is scored by AR Rahman.
Simran and Vijay are one of the best on-screen pairs in the Tamil film industry, and their dance performances too have been highly loved by fans. After pairing up with Vijay in a few movies, Simran did a special appearance for the song Althotta Boopathi in the film 'Youth'. Like their previous songs, this song is also a super hit dance number by the pair. The song is composed by Mani Sharma and sung by Shankar Mahadevan. 'Youth' features Vijay and Shaheen Khan in lead roles, and the film is directed by Vincent Selva.
This song also has a rustic charm and Malaysia Vasudevan provides that flavour brilliantly while he is contrasted with the trained voice of Chitra. Ilaiyaraja thankfully lets Chitra sing the more intricate parts of the song while Malaysia Vasudevan amply supports her.
While Prabhu plays his customary buffoon role (but a buffoon that can sing wonderfully well), Kasturi plays the role of a girl who falls in love with him despite his buffoonery (for reasons best known only to Tamil film story writers). The places where Prabhu sings the wrong lines and is chided by Kasturi adds to the beauty of the song.
The youtube video linked below says this was sung by P Suseela and Raj Seetharaman. I am not sure if that is very accurate. It does not sound like Suseela definitely. Ravindar and Silk Smitha provide their exercise moves to this wonderful song. ?
Despite such a ridiculous song situation, Ilaiyaraja comes up with yet another lovely, dance number. The tune is in line with the times as a disco number while still retaining some Indian classical music aspects (Sudhdha Dhanyasi raagam says one website). SPB and Janaki in full flow with lyrics by Vaali.
For example, do you remember the charanam of Singaravelane Deva? Because I was very focused on the listener and wanted my tunes to be simple to sing. I may not have done many complex compositions. But I have done hundreds of Carnatic-based songs.
In Annamalai, KB sir suddenly called up one evening and said they wanted to have another song in the movie by next evening so that shooting could be completed. This was Rekka Katti Parakuthaiya. For that interlude, we had to use an orchestra of 40 musicians with 25 violins. I composed that song in 20 minutes and we finished the recording by afternoon.
AR Rahman became a massive phenomenon in the 1990s in Tamil and Hindi cinema. Was there pressure on you to compete with him and make music like he did?
There were films that would come only to me. But yes, some directors would point to Rahman and would say they want something like that. The idea was to keep in touch with what was happening in the field and what others were doing.
