Santhosh Shivan while speaking about Urumi said," Urumi in your place (Tamil Nadu) means musical instrument but in Kerala it is a warfare instrument. Since the title was suitable for both the languages, I have titled this film as Urumi.
The story happens in the 15th century. After 27 years of serious efforts, the Hindu kings started trade for spices like pepper, chillies and cloves. At that point of time Vasco Da Gama lands in Kerala port. After this lots of changes take place in the Indian political system and trade. This we have showed very extensively. There is a question that whether this will be a heavy subject.
This is a thriller and taking revenge story. This is a pucca commercial film. Genelia is donning the role of a princess. Tabu’s dance will be very titillating and sensuous. There are five song sequences and the action sequences will be of a different variety.
The songs composed by Hindi music composer Deepak Dev have come out well. Genelia who was seen as a girl who wants to eat ice cream when there is heavy rain will be seen different in this film. She has fought martial arts and horse riding for this film. We have given intensive training for her. About Prabhu Deva, he is donning the role of a Muslim. He is donning the role of Prithviraj’s close friend. In the first half he will be very calm but in the second half his fighting will be fiery.
Prabhu Deva’s comedy is the highlight of the film. His romance with Vidhya Balan will be very extreme. I am worried that Nayanthara should not get angry with Prabhu Deva. I am releasing this film in Tamil, Malayalam and English. In Tamil, I have titled the film as 15am Nootru Aandu Urai Vaal. Our Arya has also roared in Urumi. That character is suspense. Wait until April."
