Udhayanidhi is confident that despite newcomers starring in Mynaa, it is bound to score high because of Prabhu Solomon’s narration and the team’s performance.

Prabhu Solomon seems a person with a fire in the belly to direct films without confining the stories to homes and streets alone. He desires that the script lines should go beyond that and explore the abundance in nature’s beauty. He seems to adore nature and wants that to be given a pivotal place in the storyline. He expresses his admiration for Hollywood movies that well explore nature and accepts their strong influence in shaping his thought processes. Mynaa lounges in nature’s beauty under Prabhu Solomon’s direction.

The star cast has Vidharth, Amala Paul, Thambi Ramaiah, Sethu G Pillai with many others to give meaning to the director’s conception. The quality of the film has been enhanced by powerful performances.

The audio release had Kamal Haasan and Parthiban felicitate the young producer and team for their scintillating performance and the good music. Their appreciation has instilled great confidence in the team.

The cinematography is handled by M Sukumar and art direction by Vairabalan. With a clean chit from the censor board and an entertaining story, Mynaa is expected to scale to the list of Tamil cinema’s good movies. The director confirms that it has the right blend of all the ingredients for good entertainment along with distinct insertions of innovative features.

Mynaa, the bird with a new pair of wings, is set to hit the theatres on Diwali. As goes the trend, down-to-earth script is finding a sure place for itself these days. So Mynaa, a story presented with freshness with no compromise on quality, has slowly started earning accolades right from the audio release. Diwali will see Mynaa fly high to touch new horizons.

The audio launch of Prabhu Solomon’s forthcoming film, Mynaa took place at Sathyam Cinemas recently, was a star-studded affair, with actor Kamal Haasan releasing the first CD and director Bala receiving it from him.

Speaking at the event, actor Shaam said that Myna’s director Prabhu Solomon was a staunch theist and while beginning every shot he would seek the blessings of Christ Jesus.

Bala, in his address, kicked off a controversy on the existence of God, over lyricist Yugabharathy’s statement saying Jesus has not and will not let down Prabhu Solomon.

He said that he came to the audio launch with the intention of talking about Prabhu Solomon’s efforts in making the film but when he heard that the director sought the blessings of the lord during each shot, he decided not to talk about the film. He said that if a director is capable, he would not believe in God.

“Anyone who has brain doesn’t need the help of the God,” he further added. Bala, however, added he is one of the strong critics for Prabhu’s films but with Myna he had only praises.
