ZEE5 “Tadayam” Series Thanksgiving Announcement Ceremony!!
This series, which offers a thrilling and mysterious experience with a backdrop of true events, is different from the crime thriller stories that are made in Tamil. It has been well received by fans and critics alike. Its success is also proven by the fact that it has crossed 100 million viewing minutes within a few days of its release.
To celebrate, the film crew met with press friends and thanked them for their criticism and praise.
On this occasion..,
Kaushik Narasimhan, on behalf of ZEE5, said…,
Usually, after a series is released, we can see its full reception only after several weeks. But in the case of the Thadayam series, it has not even been a week and that too has reached 100 million streaming minutes two days early. I think this is a huge achievement.
Many series have been released on ZEE5 before. Series like Vindu and Ayali were well received. But compared to them, ‘Tadayam’ has reached this level of viewing minutes in a very short time. It is a great thing that such achievements have been made in just one week. The main reason for this achievement is the viewers. This would not have happened without their support. A heartfelt thank you to everyone. Many more good works are coming in the future. We hope you will continue to support it.
At the same time, I would like to thank the cast, technicians, and production team who contributed to the success of this series.
Cocktail Cinemas producer Ajay Krishna spoke…
Thank you all for giving this level of reception to the ‘Thadayam’ series. You all have brought me and our entire team to a great honor. Everyone from technicians to actors have worked together to create this success. This is my first attempt as a producer. But I am very happy that my first attempt has become such a big success. This success was possible only because of the support of the fans. Without you, we would not be standing on this stage today.
I must thank Kaushik sir for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to do this work. Without his faith and encouragement, I would not have gotten to this moment today. I also thank Kani Anan, who always supported me and gave me courage to move forward no matter what the problem was. His support and encouragement are the reason why I am standing here today. My heartfelt thanks to all the technicians, actors and my team who worked on this series. Thank you to everyone.
Music composer Vipin Bhaskar spoke…
Hello everyone. I am very happy to celebrate this moment. While working on this series, we were under a lot of pressure. But we worked with full commitment with the intention of creating a good work. When we see that its result has reached the audience today, I feel it as a success for our hard work. Our team, director, Kaushik sir, Mugil sir, producer sir from the channel, everyone was very supportive of us in this entire working environment, especially during the post-production and music work. Similarly, our team, lyricists, singers, musicians, everyone who worked with us were very cooperative. I think their support and hard work are the reason for this success. Thank you.
Cinematographer KK spoke..,
I am very happy to be standing on this success stage. My heartfelt thanks to everyone for making my first stage experience a success. I must thank Ajay sir and the director for giving me this opportunity. It is because of them that I got the opportunity to join this series. Likewise, the director and the entire team were very supportive of me. Thanks to everyone who worked for this success.
Editor Dinesh Kumar spoke..,
When we started working on this series, director Naveen Anna gave us the script and asked us to read it first. After reading it, we felt that it would be very interesting for the fans. It is very happy that this series has received a great response as we had imagined. I am grateful to Naveen Anna for giving me this opportunity. I am sincerely grateful to him for not going alone when big opportunities came up, but for taking us along. I would also like to express my gratitude to Ajay sir, Saravanan sir, our assistant directors and the entire team who were supportive in this series. Thank you.
Director Naveenkumar Palanivel spoke..,
This success was due to the support of many people. Kaushik sir in particular was very supportive of us right from the beginning. No matter what time it was — even at night — he was always in touch and gave advice, and played a key role in bringing this project to this point. Kaushik sir is one of the main reasons for this success. Similarly, everyone from the ZEE5 team, including Mugil sir, was constantly supportive. Also, Kani Anna was very supportive and was a major reason for the success of this project.
I would like to thank my entire team who worked with me. I would like to express my gratitude to the music director and KK sir in particular. Music was a great strength in many important moments of this series. I would also like to thank all the supporting actors, technicians and my team who worked with us. We had to complete this work in a short time frame — about 20 days. So I may have been harsh at times. I apologize to everyone for that. However, I would like to thank you all for completing this work with great dedication. If there are any shortcomings, I will try to correct them in the next works and do better. I would like to thank everyone.
Actor Rajkiran Das spoke…
Hello everyone. I am very happy with this level of reception. I really did not expect this. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in this series including Kaushik sir, Naveen, Ajay Sharma, Kani sir. For the past week, messages of appreciation have been coming in from many parts of Tamil Nadu. Also, my thanks to the media friends who have been continuously supporting this series and to all the fans who have taken it to the people on social media.
Writer and actress Kotravai spoke…
The web series ‘Tadayam’ was a huge opportunity for me. I am grateful to director Naveen Kumar and ZEE5 for giving me that opportunity. I have faced many obstacles due to my skin tone and appearance. But this character gave me a lot of hope. My special thanks to Naveen Kumar for giving me the opportunity to act in this role with a different twist. The faith he has placed in my acting has also given me a lot of courage. This opportunity has given me the confidence that I can act well. Thank you to all the media friends who are here.
Mr. Azagan Tamilmani spoke..,
My dear brothers and sisters in journalism… I am one of you. My life began with you. Many of those who worked with me in the early days are still my brothers today. I express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you who have supported me since the beginning of my life.
I am very happy to see my son on this stage today. I did not directly make him a producer. From the beginning, I thought that he should learn from the bottom of cinema, so I first made him act in my serials. Only after that, I raised him to become a producer. My heartfelt congratulations to my son Ajay Krishna, who has grown to this point today without any help, thanks to his own efforts.
When I was sitting at home watching the ‘Thadayam’ series, it didn’t feel like a web series to me. It felt like a movie. I woke up only after watching it to the end, curious about what was going to happen next. The director’s handiwork, the cinematographer’s work, and the editor’s work were so good. My heartfelt thanks and congratulations to the entire team who made this series a film-quality series.
I am not new to the small screen. I have the honor of being one of the first people to start a midday mega series with the series ‘Mangai’ in 1999. The small screen is what raised me. It was only because of what I earned in the small screen that I was able to pay off the debts incurred in the big screen. I consider myself indebted to that small screen for the rest of my life. I have also sent my son on the same path. I request all of you to participate in his journey and support and encourage him. Thank you.
Actor Prem spoke…
The experience of working in this series is very fulfilling for me. It was a great opportunity for me. My heartfelt thanks to Ajay sir and Naveen sir for giving me that opportunity. While working in this series, they looked after me not only as an artist but also as their brother. I am very grateful for that. I also express my gratitude to everyone who acted with me, including Annan Kani and Annan Raja. I hope this team will continue to create many good works. Thank you.
Actor Samuthirakani spoke…
Every mind yearns for fulfillment. ‘Thadayam’ brings that fulfillment very deeply into the mind and gives the feeling of having corrected many things. That is the joy of this success. I have directed almost 3000 episodes on the small screen. But in that journey, I have rarely had the opportunity to hear such sincere appreciation. I am very happy to have received that recognition today.
This entire creation was born out of the trust placed in Kaushik. He, Ajay, Naveen, KK sir and many others are the main reasons for this success. It is the combined efforts of everyone that has given this success. The recognition a child gets from a father is a great thing. I am proud and happy that Ajay got that recognition so soon.
Thank you to everyone who worked for this success. I hope this success will not stop here and will take us far. Let’s meet again and again to share this joy with many more successes. Thank you.
