Kamal Hassan and his team deserve a pat on their backs for conducting the audio launch of Unnaipol Oruvan on Sunday morning with style.It was one of the best audio launches ever, as it was all over in 40 minutes without any boring long speeches or delays.Chief guests at the function were Kamal's mentor and Guru K.Balachandar, his first producer AVM Saravanan, and his all time favourite music director MS Viswanathan. Other guests included KS Ravikumar, Devi Sri Prasad and Swaroop Reddy of Think Music.

Her dedication, determination and sincerity to her work are great. She is the true waris (heir) to Kamal Hassan's legacy.''For the first time instead of having a cut-out from the film as a background, the full screen stills from the film were flashed throughout the function.The theatrical trailer of the film and a music video for television and internet promotions were played on the big screen for the select invitees.The slickly made promo had a stylish Sruthi and Blaaze belting out the title song written by Manushaputhran.
