When environmentalist M. Yoganathan heard about this real life incident it struck him how the radio reached out to the common man. The result was a short film Radio. The short film begins with the accident scene at Podanur. Radios are omnipresent, on buses, rickshaws and petrol stations... it helps take away the stress of those who listen to it and provides information too.” K. Chitralega of AIR released the short film. For example, his first short film Thaagam focussed on water scarcity.
