Chennai, 12th September, 2025: Tamil Nadu forest department, today announced the trailer release of \u201cWild Tamil Nadu\u201d, a pioneering wildlife documentary that captures the State\u2019s breathtaking natural diversity. Unveiled at Taj Connemara, Chennai, this CSR initiative produced by Sundram Fasteners, Directed by Mr. Kalyan Varma, Nature inFocus and supported by the Tamil Nadu Forest Department, aims to foster pride and conservation awareness among viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mist rolls down the Ghats as waterfalls echo through the valleys. In untouched forests, elephants gather at riversides, while leopards travel silently across ridgelines. Flocks of flamingos ascend from sunlit wetlands, their pink wings shimmering against the sky, and fireflies transform the night into a constellation. These glimpses are featured in the \u201cWild Tamil Nadu\u201d trailer, previewing a full documentary that is set to premier in Chennai and then travels to major cities and international film festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directed by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Kalyan Varma, the hour-long film captures Tamil Nadu as never before: mountains, forests, plains, coastlines, and coral reefs converge to form one of the world\u2019s richest natural mosaics. The documentary\u2019s soundtrack, composed by three-time Grammy Award winner Ricky Kej, infuses Carnatic traditions with orchestral arrangements to amplify the voices of these landscapes and is narrated by acclaimed actor Mr. Arvind Swamy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Sundram Fasteners, we believe in creating lasting impact by supporting environmental and community initiatives. \u2018Wild Tamil Nadu\u2019 is a powerful journey into the untamed spirit of Tamil Nadu\u2014its forests, its creatures, its timeless culture. It is a reminder that what we preserve today will define the legacy we leave behind tomorrow,\u201d said Ms Arathi Krishna, Managing Director, Sundram Fasteners Ltd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWild Tamil Nadu celebrates not only our State\u2019s biodiversity but also the deep cultural and ecological bonds connecting people to this land. Through this film, we hope to inspire pride and collective action to protect these rare ecosystems for future generations,\u201d said
Ms. Supriya Sahu, Additional Chief Secretary, Environment, Climate Change & Forests, Government of Tamil Nadu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Kalyan Varma described the project as \u201cone of the most meaningful of my career. My vision was to share a deeper story\u2014a land where culture and wilderness are inseparably intertwined. Tamil Nadu is extraordinary for the astonishing variety of habitats it sustains. This documentary is my attempt to illuminate those stories and highlight the fragile, irreplaceable diversity that merits our shared protection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
