About The Movie
Till this point of time, I have done either English or Silent short films...'Thaniyoru Manidhanukku', was my first attempt in Tamil (Indian Language,My Mother tongue) Short film. Actually, my original plan was to shoot a different script which is 25 mins length but due to lack of time, I went for this three minutes little short film.

Nanda, who I came to know through his Singing talents and also with enormous experience in Entertainment business worked as a Cinematographer and editor in this film. His daughter Divya, who is a classical dancer and singer did the lead role. Veera assisted us in Cinematography and we shot the whole movie in Nanda's home.

I had the whole story board done and Nanda bought a little Dolly for this movie especially. While the shooting was about to start, the professional halogen lights whatever we were about to use for lighting burst off. That didn't stop us though...Veera went to a nearby store, bought some powerful white lights and it worked fine. Divya did the takes easily and her dancing skill came to her rescue,We finished the whole shooting in just three hours.

During post production, Nanda unfortunately fell ill and got admitted in the hospital. Thank God, he had a rought cut which I picked it up and edited by myself so that we would submit film to the festivals on time. Srikanth, did a awesome job in background score and came back with a mockery kinda music in just one day. Final package was ready and I did submit to two festivals. For our hardwork and efforts, it got selected in both the festivals.
