and he has used actual people from the locations
instead of actors. The last time he did a
true story was Manvasanai. It’s about
three murders and a murderer who was never
caught by the police. However, in the movie,
he will show the murdered being caught by
the police. Raja said the climax of the film
is unique and no one will be able to guess
it.
Bommalattam had been screened at German
film festivals where it was critically appreciated.
One German film institute has even included
the film as a text to be studied in the
course. Raja said the movie had been delayed
because of corporate companies not supporting
the film enough. They felt it did not have
a wide market and so did not promote it.
He went on to say that in the years past,
distributors would fight a lot to get a
market and take a great deal of trouble
to make the film a success, but corporate
companies don’t take much trouble.
These distributors today have become as
thin and invisible as lizards, he said.
But they are good people. But corporate
companies are as predatory as crocodiles
and will eat you up. Now because of the
economic recession they are laying low,
he added. And this was a good thing, and
it would be good if they continued to be
low key. |
