Film on mass singing of Royal Anthem to be finished next week
VIDEO CLIPS of crowds of people singing the Royal Anthem in Sanam Luang that have gone viral on social media are not part of the official film being produced by celebrated director MC Chatrichalerm Yukol and his team, the director’s daughter MR Srikhumrung Yukol said Wednesday.
“People keep asking when the official film will be released and whether it has anything to do with the clips being shared on social media. I have seen these clips and admire what they have done. My father MC Chatrichalerm is not worried about the issue, because he says everybody has the right to edit and make clips.
“The images you see on social media today do not come from our production team, but I believe we share the same mission – showing our loyalty to His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Our team is working hard on perfecting the film and expects to release it by next week,” said Srikhumrung, who is also one of the directors.
Crowds of black-clad mourners from across the nation flooded Sanam Luang and nearby streets on Saturday to sing the Royal Anthem in memory of the Monarch, who passed away on October 13.
The singers were accompanied by a 200-piece orchestra and a 130-member chorus under the baton of prominent composer Somtow Sucharitkul.
