Speaking on the film, director Prasad Prabhakaran says, “I can proudly say this is a never before attempted concept. Pooram festival in Thrissur is the biggest festival in the Universe, attended by a million people every year. This festival runs for a week. There are thousands of artists playing hundreds of instruments in the event, and the atmosphere will be absolutely electric and totally magical.

It has been Resul Pookutty’s real-life dream to record the sounds of Pooram live. This movie is about a sound designer who wants to capture the sounds of this festival in his mike and record it. To our delight and honour, Resul Pookutty plays this sound designer role. This movie is titled ‘Oru Kadhai Sollattumaa’. I am so proud Resul Pookutty chose this script to make his acting debut.

Over 80 technicians from Hollywood and Bollywood worked tirelessly in capturing the sounds of Pooram live for our movie. The camera team have captured over 300 live performing artists using 22 cameras. This movie will be such an experience that one can watch it even with their eyes closed. The sounds and the narration will convey the festival, moods and the story so brilliantly.

The music of the film is by Rahul Raj, and Vairamuthu has penned the lyrics. This movie is made in four languages with Malayalam, Telugu and Hindi being the other three. I am so excited about the outcome and can’t wait for the audience to witness the experience that we have achieved to bring out.”

The songs and trailer have been edited by Antony. The songs were recorded in AR Rahman’s studio. Sony Music has bagged the audio rights of the movie.

Resul Pookutty involved in capturing the essence of Pooram festival

Pooram festival in Kerala is one of the well known temple festivals and especially Thrissur Pooram is very popular.

 

A US based Thrissur native Rajeevan Panakkal is in the process of recording the festival in a 3D documentary format to convey the complete essence of it to the Malayalees and to all those who are interested.

 

Since sound is a very important component of this festival, he has taken the help of Oscar winning sound designer Resul Pookutty to capture the minutest sound of the festival. As per reports, under the supervision of Resul Pookutty, more than 80 technicians from Hollywood and Bollywood have already begun work. They would separately capture the sound of instruments, both in isolation and during the Pooram. Unni Malayil is the cameraman deputed for this purpose

 

Another team is involved in filming preparations of the festival like cleaning of ponds, poojas, meetings, parasol-making and the construction of the pandal.

 

Resul also tweeted, “The men behind the #PooramRecording Rajeev Panakal and Prasad Prabhakar, my pillar of strength!” "The biggest sound event in the world is being recorded live as we speak#PooramRecording #ThrisurPooram".

 

This sure is going to be one important documentary in understanding the complete essence of the Pooram festival especially for all those who have not witnessed it live.
