South Indian superstars Surya and Vijay shared the dais with honorable Chief Minister M. Kalainyar Karunanidhi for releasing the music of `Vamsam'. The audio launch was held last evening at Sathyam Cinemas and the entire premises was under tight security. Tamil Film Producers Council President Rama Narayanan and other executive members were also present there.

Directed by Pandiraj of `Pasanga' fame, the film marks the debut of CM Karunanidhi's grandson Arulnidhi with Sunaina of `Kadhalil Vizhundhen' fame starring opposite him. Taj Noor, once an associate of A. R. Rahman has scored the music.

Conveying his best wishes to grandson Arulnidhi, the CM said, "I believe that Arulnidhi will succeed just like Surya and Vijay. These superstars were born into a family with strong film background, but never expected their support and came up succeeding by virtue of their own effort and hard work."

Singing praises of Arulnidhi, director Pandiraj said that, he never really believed that he wouldn't suit the role as he looks like a typical city boy. "But I was surprised to see his excellent performance and dedication. He has really done a marvelous job in this film as a village youngster" says the filmmaker.
