The film, which was released ami dst great expectations, has been receiv ing a good response from the fans. Initia lly, the film was released in only 100 scr eens. However, with the huge support of the fans, the number of screens doubled on the second day of its release.
As the film continues to receive a great response, a thanksgiving ceremony was held in Chennai on behalf of the Marmar film crew. The actors, actresses and cre w who acted in the film participated in this ceremony.
Speaking at the event, the film’s produc tion designer Hassini said, “Hello every one. You have watched and enjoyed our film and turned it into a blockbuster. Wit hout you, we would not have come this far. Thank you to the production and directorial team. Especially the director of this film did not hire an assistant director and worked alone throughout the film. That too, he shot the ghost film in the jungles. Kudos to him for that. It is a great honor. Thank you to all the actors and actresses who acted in the film. In some scenes, only the head is visible. They had to hide inside for hours while shooting such scenes. Also, thank you to everyone who gave their full effort for this film,” he said.
The film’s producer S.P.K. While spea kin g, Prabhakaran of Pictures said, “Thank you to everyone in the press and media industry. Greetings and heartfelt thanks to the people of Tamil Nadu who took the film Marmar to the streets. Hemnath sir has completed this film and today the film is running in almost 400 screens across Tamil Nadu. The director of this film is the embodiment of hard work. He is a blessing to me. At this young age, he has thought of the kind of film that will be successful if made and has made it exactly that. As a producer, I am happy with this film. Thank you to Kugan sir who came forward to distribute this film. I treated him like a brother. Everyone worked hard. I remember their character’s name more than everyone’s name. It has been like that since I heard the story of the film. It is so close to the truth. The film’s cinematographer Jason has done a wonderful job. The sound designer Kevin worked day and night with the director of this film. The editor Rohit did a great job. I don’t know what else to say except thank you to all of you. Rishi, this film has created a fan base for him. Apart from this, my SPK team only went home to sleep for the last four or five days. Also, it has been almost 12 years since my company started. Till now, my team has never worked on the second and fourth Saturdays and Sundays. But, they worked on Sundays for this film. I express my deepest gratitude to all the SPK team who are making money all over the world. You have worked so hard. Thank you to SRP sir who was the first to tweet for us, thank you to Arya sir who tweeted, “Positive things are happening from the Marmar movie.” In the past, a film made by a first-time director, a first-time producer and other teams together has never become a blockbuster. Thank you to director Hemnath sir who made this happen and made it a success. I have been to various parts of India and I consider myself a hard worker. But the work done by director Hemnath and his hard work was very impressive. Thanks to him again. Now the distributor of the film has said that the film Marmar has become a blockbuster. Thanks again to the media industry. This film is an example that even if it is young or new, it can only create a little buzz and come out of it successfully. Thanks to everyone,” he said.
While Gugan, the distributor of the film Marmar, said, “Hello to all the friends of the press and media. There are no platforms for the press to see, and there are no artists who have not seen the cinema industry. I see the Marmar team as a child born yesterday. I see this platform as very important. I will tell you why. The Marmar team is a new child in the century-old cinema industry. You have been giving your heartfelt support to this. Thank you all a million for this.
