Musician Lydian Nadhaswaram, who spoke on behalf of the 13 young achievers who were felicitated at the ceremony, said: “Many thanks to Parthiban sir for inviting us to this event. ‘Teenz’ is a dream come true for Parthiban. He and music director D Imman have teamed up for the first time. I listened to the songs and they’re amazing. Like all of you, I’m also excited to see the movie in theatres.”
Actress Poornima Bhagyaraj said: “Parthiban is the one who innovates everything. He has made ‘Teenz’ in the same way and introduced so many new talents through this film. The trailer and songs are very good. Congratulations to Parthiban and his team.”
Dr Pinchi Srinivasan, one of the producers of ‘Teenz’, said: “I am a paediatrician. All the four producers loved it when Parthiban narrated us the story of child-centric film ‘Teenz’. After all, Parthiban himself is like a teenager. Having worked with 13 teenagers in this film, he has become more young and reflects the energy of all of them. Music director Imman is fantastic. He has given beautiful songs to the film. I hope ‘Teenz’ will be a huge success since it is not only for children but also for all sections of the audience.”
Lyricist Madan Karky said: “‘Teenz’ will be a unique attempt in Tamil cinema. When Parthiban sir narrated this story to me, I felt it so new. I am excited to see it on screen. Every song has been composed by Imman in a different way. The songs are so fresh like the work of a new composer. The young artistes who have worked in the film deserve congratulations”
Director KS Ravikumar said: “The other name of innovation is Parthiban. Making a film with children is not an easy task. But Parthiban has achieved it. Imman, who is a hard worker and has a lot of devotion to God, has given amazing songs for the film. I look forward to congratulating everyone who worked on ‘Teenz’ after watching the film.”
Young actor Vikram said: “If cinema is a teacher, then Parthiban sir is the first of its blessed students. I request you all to support ‘Teenz’ and make it a grand success, thank you.”
Actress Akshaya Udayakumar said: “Parthiban sir makes everyone wonder what his next film will be with his every movie. The trailer and songs of ‘Teenz’ are amazing. I hope the film will definitely be a hit.”
Actor Pugazh said: “Making a film with children is a challenge. Parthiban sir has achieved it. After watching the trailer of the film, I am eager to watch the full movie. I want to play a child in the sequel of ‘Teenz’, thank you.”
Actress Vanitha Vijayakumar said: “It is a matter of pride that my daughter is working as an assistant to Parthiban sir. As soon as I saw the trailer, I understood that this is a must watch movie. My best wishes to all the actors, including the kids.”
Director Gaurav Narayanan said: “I have accepted Parthiban sir as my guru. He has made great achievements and is setting benchmark to young directors. I think after ‘Anjali’, so many children have acted in ‘Teenz’. The trailer is very enjoyable. I am eagerly waiting to watch the film. Congratulations to the whole team.”
Sakthivelan of Sakthi Film Factory said: “Parthiban sir is my favourite actor and director. I enjoyed watching his movie ‘Puthiya Paathai’ when I was a teenager. Now I am releasing his movie ‘Teenz’. When the teenagers who acted in this movie turn 40, Parthiban will surely make a film about the teenagers of that period. He has been keeping himself so young. When I buy the distribution rights of a film, I usually think and plan how to promote it. But Parthiban sir’s film doesn’t need any of that. He is doing all the promotions better than us. The film will definitely be a hit.”
Actor Vidharth said: “Trailer and songs of this movie are so nice. Congratulations to everyone who worked on ‘Teenz’. I will talk more at the success event of ‘Teenz’.”
Director Perarasu said: “Everything is perfect in this movie. I wish ‘Teenz’ a huge success. Parthiban sir’s ‘Puthiya Paathai’ is still fresh even after 33 years, but he keeps breaking new ground.”
Director Saran said: “Parthiban sir never gets emotional. He has made a Hollywood movie in Tamil with ‘Teenz’. My best wishes to him and his team.”
Actor Robo Shankar said: “Parthiban sir is the birthplace of innovation. Whatever he does is different. Especially ‘Teenz’ is very innovative. Kudos to all the crew.”
Actor Yogi Babu said: “I was waiting with Parthiban sir for a long time. Finally that wish has come true in ‘Teezs’. I am looking forward to working with him in many more films, thank you.”
Director-Actor K Bhagyaraj said: “Congratulations to the 13 young artistes who have acted in ‘Teenz’ and their parents. I hope they will grow up to be the superstars of tomorrow. It is an honour to see Parthiban, who worked with me as an assistant director, reach such great heights. Parthiban always thinks differently and innovatively. I pray to the Almighty that his film ‘Teenz’ will be a huge success. Thanks.”
Actor Thambi Ramaiah said: “I am really looking forward to watch ‘Teenz’. Apart from being an actor and a director, Parthiban sir is also a great poet. He has written lyrics for seven songs in this film. Parthiban sir, who innovates in whatever he does, has selected thirteen pearls for the film. All of them will reach great heights. Imman’s songs are awesome and he is known for his hard work. I wish the film a huge success.”
Music composer D. Imman said: “I have never seen a music launch like this. Thank you, Parthiban sir for this. We have tried a lot of new things in the film. Initially we thought one or two songs were enough, but now we have created seven songs. Parthiban sir and I should have worked together longtime ago, but it has happened only now. It was a great experience working with him, thank you.”
