    Colors Tamil to premiere ‘Sarvam Thaala Mayam’

    Mumbai: Colors Tamil is all set to unravel the fascinating journey of a mridangam prodigy with the world television premiere of Sarvam Thaala Mayam.

    The movie, starring GV Prakash Kumar and Nedumudi Venu, will be broadcast on 6 November, at 2:00 p.m. Watch the Tamil version of Colors to hear a happy, lyrical story that will warm your heart.

    Rajiv Menon directed the film, which also stars Elango Kumaravel, Aparna Balamurali, Vineeth, and Dhivyadharshini in supporting roles. AR Rahman’s harmonious rendition of songs in the film will greatly enhance the viewing experience.

    The film begins with Peter (GV Prakash Kumar) as a carefree individual who indulges in his own desires and is an ardent fan of Illayapathi Vijay, despite the fact that his father, Johnson (Elango Kumaravel), wants him to follow in his footsteps and become a singing sensation. Despite his reservations, he meets renowned mridangam player Vembu Iyer (Nedumudi Venu) and is captivated by his abilities, wishing to become his disciple.

    In the meantime, he develops a rivalry with Mani (Vineeth), Iyer’s assistant. The rest of the story revolves around Peter’s journey to stardom through melody and the challenges he faces along the way.

    Commenting on the WTP, director Rajiv Menon says, “The film explores the charm of music in the midst of caste conflicts. I am glad to restart my career after a hiatus of 19 years with Sarvam Thaala Mayam. It was a wonderful experience working with the entire cast and crew and delving into the carnatic scene while touching upon the diverse tonalities of harmony the country has. I am extremely happy that the movie is premiering on Colors Tamil, and I can assure viewers that it will be a visual treat for families altogether.”

    Adding to this, actor GV Prakash Kumar said, “It was indeed a role that fits my reality. Playing an aspiring musician provides me with nostalgia about my own struggling days, owing to which the film and character are really close to my heart. With the world television premiere of Sarvam Thaala Mayam, this weekend will be worth looking forward to for audiences.”
