GV Prakash, Rajiv Menon's musical drama Sarvam Thaala Mayam to release in Japan

It is known that a few films of Rajinikanth surprised the trade with the audience reception there, including Muthu which was released in 1995. Darbar was the last film of the Superstar which had a good release in the East Asian country. Sarvam Thaala Mayam (streaming on Netflix) is the latest Tamil film to hit the screens in Japan. 

The film which was released in 2019 has GV Prakash playing the lead and directed by Rajiv Menon. The movie which earned critical acclaim has music composed by AR Rahman which is one of the highlights of the project. 

The trailer of the movie with Japanese subtitles was shared by AR Rahman on his social media page. The film is expected to hit the screens there on October 1. Nedumudi Venu, Aparna Balamurali, Vineeth and Kumaravel play key roles in the project which revolves around a young aspiring musician.

The struggles he faces when he sets out to learn music owing to his caste and how he overcomes various discrimination in the conservative society forms the crux of the story. Ravi Yadav and Anthony have handled cinematography and editing respectively for the movie. 

Sarvam Thaala Mayam marked Rajiv Menon's return to direction after almost two decades. The ever popular Kandukondain Kandukondain, his sophomore directorial project, was the movie he helmed before the GV Prakash-starrer. The cinematographer-turned-filmmaker later went on to make a segment of the anthology Putham Pudhu Kaalai which released during the lockdown in 2020.         

Earlier this year, Karthi's Kaithi was released in Russia and Aishwarya Rajesh's Kanaa hit the screens in China. Tamil film lovers are eager to know if Sarvam Thaala Mayam would make any impact among the Japanese audience,
