A new breed
of young and energetic filmmakers are currently carrying Kollywood to new
heights with their innovative scripts and deft handling both of which stand out
as definite departures from conventional styles of filmaking!
Abbas Akbar
from Singapore is one such good talent who has scripted and directed Chennai 2
Singapore that showcases an enjoyable theme with an entirely new kind of
treatment!
Produced by
Ghibran, the young and talented scorer and more importantly a pet of Kamal
Hassan who has composed music for a couple of his films, has backed the production
of this film by Abbas who has several commercials and serials to his credit at
Singapore!
It is worth
noting that both Abbas and Ghibran were colleagues during their study time at
Singapore and it is a no big suprise that they both have teamed up for this
flick that showcases a new genre!
‘As a matter
of fact, this project took off with other cast earlier, not once but more than
that before the present cast and crew were finalised and here we are with the finished
product!’ says Abbas in a down to earth manner!
Gokul Anand
plays the lead in this flick and keeping him company is Anju Kurian.
Rajesh Balachandran
who is well experienced with the theatre is a major part of the main cast.
Shiv Keshav,
a businessman with a passion for acting plays the villain of the piece.
It is worth
noting Abbas wanted rehearsals before they went on for the shoot which Ghibran
too was in concurrence!
‘Kamal Sir used to tell me that if one doesn’t
practice well before going for the take, it will certainly be obvious to the
audience!’ says Ghibran.
We understand
that the film was shot in about 65 days out of which 90% was at Singapore and
the balance was at Chennai.
As there are
six songs in the film, it was though fit to do a road trip through six countries,
India included, as a part of the film’s promotional campaign!
Veteran
editor Praveen KL has edited the film.
Tamil cinema
is never the same especially with the arrival of such bundle of talents! The film
is scheduled to hit the screens on December 15th.
