Bhuvanam Gaganam, wrapped and set for a monsoon release, recently unveiled its teaser, launched by Dhurva Sarja. Bhuvanam Gaganam reminded me of the song from the Vamshi film starring Puneeth Rajkumar. The main reason Im here today is because of the technician Gireesh Mulimani, who worked as an associate director in Varadanayaka which starred my elder brother (Chiranjeevi Sarja) and Sudeep sir, and he is the director of this film. I have also worked as an associate with cinematographer Uday Leela in Bahaddur and Bhajarangi. I am glad to be part of the film with those technicians whom I was associated with in one way or another, and I am confident that they would have done an excellent job with Bhuvanam Gaganam, says Dhruva. The film has Pramod and Pruthvi Ambaar as leads. I havent done a full-fledged love story before, and that was one of the reasons Bhuvanam Gaganam caught my attention. We have completed shooting, and the post-production work is going on at a brisk pace. We have also begun the dubbing process, says Pramod. The film produced by Munegowda has Gireesh Mulimani writing the story and screenplay. Bhuvanam Gaganam is an emotional story that deals with love, romance and family. It is a story that unfolds in both urban and rural settings. Rachel David (Love Mocktail) and Ponnu Ashwathi play the female leads.

'Inspector Rishi': A spine-chilling adventure

CHENNAI: Naveen Chandra, who will next be seen in Prime Videos Inspector Rishi, elaborates how filming for the web series turned out to be more of an adventure than work. We shot for for this psychological horror-thriller in several dense forests. It was a tough shoot for everyone. When I read the script, I knew this series would bring me out of my comfort zone. Even though I struggled to squeeze in dates at the time, I said yes immediately, says Naveen Chandra. The cast and crew of the series shot in the forests of Talakona and Munnar for nearly two months. It was freezing cold in Munnar. We shot from September till December during the peak rainy season. Everyone kept falling ill from time-to-time, but we battled the weather and kept on shooting. Naveen was inspired by the energy of the cast and crew members, a large number of whom were women. Apart from director Nandini JS, and actors Sunaina, Malini and Harini, we had seven other women crew members in the team. This was my first project with such an extensive women crew and I was in awe and moved by their passion for work in the harshest of terrains. Naveen Chandra One of the challenges that the team faced was climbing a mountain for two hours to reach the shooting location in Munnar. After pack-up, we all would trudge down the hills for another two hours in that rainy weather. There was no toilet facilities for anyone. We shot mostly at night in unfamiliar landscapes which were unpredictable as we wouldnt know when any crisis would come up. The second layer of challenge was to deal with leeches. In the Talakona forests, there were leeches everywhere. We carried kilos of salt to spread on the ground, so that the leeches would not come up to the surface and harm us. This continued for several weeks. Despite these, it was inspiring to see every member of the team working with full dedication and no complaints. The crew moved to Chennai for one part of the shoot. But there was no relief from unforgiving weather conditions there either. After rains in the jungles, we shot in the peak of summer on a huge set, which was designed like an underground mine. Every day, at the end of the shoot, I would go back covered completely in black soot! There were also many scenes shot with VFX, which were testing. Naveen, who is all praise for director Nandini JS, says, From a big scar on my face right down to my raw look and costume, every detail she provided helped me get into the skin of my character. I think Inspector Rishi ranks amongst my best looks. Nandini is one of the best directors Ive worked with. Im both proud and grateful that the worldwide reach she gets through this, will bring her the credit she deserves.

Its a wrap for Bharaths 'Once Up on a Time in Madras'

CHENNAI: Actor Bharaths upcoming film, Once Upon a Time in Madras, recently wrapped up production. In a conversation with CE, Prasad Murugan, who will be making his directorial debut with the film, explains that Once Upon a Time in Madras is structured as a hyperlink narrative. He further elaborates that the plot revolves around the accidental discovery of a gun and the impact it has on the lives of four different characters. Bharath plays a man who is born and brought up at an orphanage, and his life takes a dramatic turn after he stumbles upon a gun. According to the director, the gun is the common factor that connects four different characters, all of whom hail from humble backgrounds. Each of the different plot threads takes place in a specific part of Chennai, and Prasad insists that it shows the part of the city, not commonly shown in Tamil cinema. However, the director cautions us by saying, Our film does not have any specific location that is instantly identifiable with Chennai. It does not romanticise the city. On why he chose the title, Prasad says that Once Up on a Time in Madras is a veiled reference to a real-life event that happened in 2013. He then adds, The title is also catchy and has a nostalgic flavour to it. Packaged as a commercial entertainer with action and songs, Once Upon a Time in Madras also stars Abhirami, Pavithra Lakshmi, Anjali Nair, and Thalaivasal Vijay. On the technical front, the film has editing by San Lokesh, cinematography by Kalidas and Kannan, music by Jose Franklin, and stunts by Sugan. Produced by MP Anand of Friday Film Factory, Once Upon a Time in Madras is now in post-production and is expected to release in late May or early June.
