The film plays in theatres for a maximum of three weeks and for the rest of its life it is played over different devices like TV and mobile phone. We’ve already reached this point in cinema. On being asked if he regrets not having a theatrical release for his debut film, the director says, “We actually made the film both for large format and mobile viewing. “Cinematography was done by two of them, Dinesh Krishnan and Karthik Muthukumar.When you watch the film, you’ll know why,” he adds. The film has Ajayan Chalissery of Maheshinte Prathikaaram and Trance fame as production designer, costume designers Eka Lakhani and Luca fame Ramya. We were trying to build a world, and so pre production was crucial,” he shares. Not just art direction but costumes and cinematography as well. Also, the film is a trip, so the production design for it was very important. “We were trying something tricky with the screenplay which is more like playing Jenga. Talking about the challenges in making Maara, the director tells us about the screenplay and the production design. The film also stars stand-up comedian Alexander Babu and veteran actor Moulee. We wanted to prove that both an actor and a heroine can co-exist in Tamil cinema's women characters,” he says. She’s going to be styled like the heroine that we know of and also be the actor who shoulders the film. Moreover, she is both an actor and a heroine in this film. Her character’s gravity in this film is slightly higher than that of Parvathy’s character in Charlie. “She plays a very important role in the film. She was committed to the script reading sessions as well. He was eager to know why we were making the choices that we were making,” Dhilip shares.Īnd actor Shraddha brought a whole new dimension to the film, having spent most of her time with the production and direction unit. He was available for discussion at every stage. Interference is one thing, trying to look at what the writer puts across is another thing. “He is an actor and a technician who has written and directed his own film. We then get talking about his experience of working with Madhavan. We explored that idea, of how it’d be like now…” he says. Now he can’t, and we didn’t want him to either. “Madhavan could have done Charlie within a decade after Alaipayuthe.
However, ours is not a bohemian take and will be a lot closer to regular life.” We don't have many bohemian lifestyle films. Also, I have huge respect for what they pulled off with Charlie. It’s definitely different from Charlie,” he says and adds, “This is not just the story of love between two people. Moreover, Madhavan plays his age in this film. “It’s still a love story, a very happy, utopian film that will be different from Madhavan’s recent films. The takeaway from this film would be different from Charlie,” he explains.ĭhilip likens it to the idea of taking the skeleton of something and building something else over it. We took a plot thread of Charlie and wove our own story. He was interested in something like that and I was immediately hooked to that prospect. “He has done adaptations before, Anbe Sivam (2003) was inspired from Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (1987 ). And actor Madhavan is not entirely new to the concept either.
