World's best come together to create India's first international film - Aakashagopuram
From Harry Potter to Titanic and Star Wars to Batman Begins, Medient Corporation PLC announces the release of its Malayalam film Aakashagopuram that brings together the best of talents from Hollywood, UK, Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam film industry.
Shot and post produced entirely in UK, Aakashagopuram is film adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's classic play The Master Builder. Starring MohanLal in the lead role, national award winning director K P Kumaran brings to screen this intriguing story of an architect at war with his creativity and logo.
Shot in various locations in the UK by cinematographer Santosh C Thundiyil (Krrish, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Pinjar, Kaal), Aakasha Gopuram's music has been scored by BAFTA and multiple Emmy award winner John Altman (Golden Eye, Titanic, Bhaji on the Beach, Shall We Dance). The sound design has been done by Nigel Holland (Batman Begins, Braveheart, Resident Evil). Rerecording mixers are Robert Farr (Star Wars: Episode II&III, Gangs of New York) and Matthew Gough (Harry Potter Prisoner of Azkaban, Cold Mountain). The visual effects have been done by John Harvey and Jonathan Trussler (Kingdom of Heaven).
"If you have a right product, attracting the best of talent is not very difficult," says Manu S Kumaran, producer of Aakashagopuram, "and if the film in question is adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's Master Builder and directed by award winning director K P Kumaran, it's a cake walk."
"It's a common practice in Indian film industry to involve a "foreign" cameraman" or a "foreign" makeup artist or stuntman to label the film as international collaboration. Medient as a film company however does not indulge in such gimmicks and believes in creating films that confirm to international standard of production values. Aakashagopuram is an example of our commitment to take Indian cinema global," adds Manu S Kumaran.
Aakashagopuram releases nationwide on August 22, 2008.
