Kerala - Thiruvananthapuram   

Jayaraj's achievement

Film director Jayaraj created news when he wrapped up the shooting of his new film Atbhutham in a matter of two hours and 45 minutes last month. His record feat was the talk of the town in Tollywood, for the entire shooting was done in Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad.

The movie is the fourth in the Jayaraj series on Navarasa, after Karunam, Shantam and Bheebatsa. The film, of one hour and 11 minutes duration, focusses on the controversial topic of euthanasia and has Suresh Gopi in the lead role.

The story takes place in Oregon, the one State in the U.S. where euthanasia is legalised. Suresh Gopi plays the character Warrier, who is fighting a losing battle with cancer and wants to die. His wife and lawyer are trying to help him die. The film is all about the last hours in the life of Warrier and the conflicting emotions of his loved ones.
