Abhay is complete



Kamal Haasan’s 201st starrer Abhay is complete. Post-production work is in full swing in Chennai and Mumbai and the film is being readied for release all over India in July. The film stars Kamal Haasan and Raveena Tandon. Milind Gunaji, Kitu Gidwani, Navin Nischol, Smita Jaykar, Vikram Gokhale, Vallabh Vyas, Yashpal Sharma, Nissar Khan and Krishna Bhatt play other leading roles.

Manisha Koirala makes a scintillating special appearance. Being made simultaneously in Hindi and Tamil (Aalavandaan) under the banner of V.Creations, the film is being directed by Suresh Krissna (who has directed many blockbusters in Tamil and Malayalam) and produced by Kalaippuli S.Thanu of Kandukondaen Kandukondaen fame.

It is based on Kamal Haasan’s own novel Dayam published 17 years ago. He has written the screenplay. The dialogues have been penned by Amitabh Srivastava. Lyrics are by Javed Akhtar and music is by Shankar-Ehsan-Loy.

Cinematography is by Thiru, art direction by Samir Chanda, computer graphics by David Peers of Cutting Edge (Australia), special effects by Grant Page, stunts by Vikram Dharma and choreography by Tharun Kumar, Goutham and Kokila. The commando action sequences in the film were shot in the strife-torn Gulmarg valley of Kashmir only a few miles from the Pakistan border under the supervision of Grant Page (who supervised the action scenes of Mission Impossible II, Mad Max I and II and Mr Nice Guy among others.).

Special skiers from Australia also participated in the shooting. Internationally renowned Australian computer graphic house, Cutting Edge sent a special team of computer graphics experts to supervise the shooting.


One of the many highlights of the film is Kamal Haasan’s dangerous fall from a 26-storey building. Kamal Haasan who plays a double role in the film, had to undergo rigorous training under National Security Guards for this dangerous stunt. The shooting was done at the Army Parade in New Delhi.

  Enn Iniya Thamizh Makkale,
  
  I have been watching the "Skirmishes" - engineered by ganesh,mie et al........
  
  The core of this problem lies elsewhere. People who migrated out of tamilnadu/india to other countries/places like singapore,europe,and america, have lost their identity in their alien countries.
  
  In order to connect with their roots they try to do/think/communicate about the issues with respect to tamilnadu/tamil. But,the very fact that they live in comparatively better lives than most of their counterparts back home, is very much live in their conscience.
  
  This probably makes these migrated tamils think that their opinions, intellect and attitude are sacrosanct and unquestionable.
  
  So, they typically tend to be arrogant and condescending towards people living in tamilnadu in general and specifically, in forums like these they would like to dominate because of their status quo.
  ( Note that people like ganesh,mie and pikachu calling bharath from chennai as Koovum - for these people, koovum becomes a synonym for chennai.)
  
  So, whatever opinion that an indegenous person( i.e. person living in Tamilnadu), would have to be poh-pooh-ed by people living in "Better" places like Singapore,Malaysia,Canada and US.
  
  Untouchability & Class-Consciousness have acquired a new form in these changing times. The method,and attitude remain the same;but now it is "Foerign living" vs "Poor-indegenous" people.
  
  So,insensitive and arrogant these people have become, that, if they don't like your opinion - they would immediately say that you are a "Beggar","an Estate Worker"( unmistakably a pointer to the mindset of 'well-off' living tamils in singapore) or a "Sanitary worker" or whatever.
  
  The Psychological and socio-cultural angle to this whole mindset is an interesting subject with which somebody could make much progress doing research on these nuances.
  
  Meanwhile, let us realise that these "Foreign-bred (or) Foreign-living Geniuses", have a mental-problem and attitudinal-problem.
  
  It's better if these Unfortunate people realise these issues. They neither have roots nor could they afford to lose their identity.
  
  But, it would be better if they are not so egotistic and condescending and start giving more respect to other people and show more seriousness while manifesting their opinions, rather than being acidic.
  
  Let Better Sense Prevail .
  
  Let us give one more chance to Peace and Brotherhood
  
  Let us, Tamilians, Realise the importance of togetherness,unity and friendship.
  
  - Senthamizhan
