"Vaanam Vasappadum" goes places



"Vaanam Vasappadum" ... now more colourful.

SPORTING A newer, fresher and more colourful look, "Vaanam Vasappadum," the first digital Hi-definition film in Indian cinema, directed by P. C. Sreeram, is all set to make it to the Mumbai International Film Festival (MIFF) for special screening in digital projection, and also to the Ninth International Film Festival in Kerala.

The recent digital colour correction (done in Avid-DS) has further enhanced the quality of "Vaanam ... " and now it is to be released in digital projection (the innovation that helps do away with the use of raw film).

The film in its digitised format will also be released shortly in Japan, Singapore, Mumbai, Bangalore, Trivandrum (with subtitles) and again in Chennai. ("Vaanam ... " was earlier released in Tamil Nadu in April).

Based on a real life incident of gang rape, the trauma and its aftermath that had been made into novel by Sujatha was scripted by P. C. Sreeram and Lara for "Vaanam ... " Lara took care of the dialogue too, while Raghavan handled the artwork. Mahesh was the composer of "Vaanam ... " and Mu. Kasi Viswanathan, its editor.
