Silambarasan TR's Pathu Thala directed by Obeli N. Krishna and produced by K. E. Gnanavelraja's Studio Green in association with Jayantilal Gada's Pen Studios banner and featuring music by Academy Award-winning composer A. R. Rahman is all set for a grand release in theatres on March 30. The actor interacted with the press on Friday to speak about his experiences working alongside his co-stars and technicians, while also expressing his happiness for the support that A. R. Rahman has shown for him and the film. Simbu said, "There's a lot we have to learn from Rahman sir. He had to perform at his Sufi concert and work on the re-recording for Ponniyin Selvan: 2 back-to-back after our audio launch. Now, he's once again working on Pathu Thala and I will always be grateful for the love he has shown towards me."
During the Pathu Thala press meet, STR also revealed how he was impressed by Gautham Karthik's effort in the action sequences. He explained, "Many have said that he (Gautham) doesn't show the pain he bears. A person who takes such pain upon himself with a humble attitude will rise higher in life. It's no easy task to perform action, but I was left stunned by how he pulled them off effortlessly." Simbu then spoke about how director Obeli N. Krishna accomplished to find a balance of the screen time for all the actors in Pathu Thala and said, "He's done what Lokesh Kanagaraj did with the actors in Vikram by giving everyone a scope and space to perform."
Speaking about sharing screen space with filmmaker Gautham Menon for the first time, Silambarasan stated, "He too has acted in this film. As far as I know, I'm not sure whether we will be able to do Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu: Part Two since he's now appearing in almost all the films. He's gotten so busy these days. And, once this film comes out, he will get much busier. Usually, only a few directors will be perform and show how the actors need to emote and he's one of those people. I feel happy to have acted with him in this film." STR and Gautham Menon have been a highly-successful combo as the duo delivered box office hits like Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada, and more recently Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu Part I: The Kindling.
