Close to nature

S. R. ASHOK KUMAR

The charm of `Lemon' is the way in which the songs are shot.



DREAMY: Sai Kiran and Chaya Singh

The session clearly belonged to dance master `Cool' Jayanth. He was giving instructions to his assistant about what the heroine Chaya Singh must do and explaining to hero Sai Kiran what was required of him.

In between, director Sai Mohan was roped in for quick consultation.

The venue was a mansion and the lead pair was seated on a beautiful bench, for Sri Maargabhandu Movies' ``Lemon."

The director was completing the shots taken on the seashore. "This is a song sequence where we have picturised it with all the five elements of nature — `Panchaboothangal.' Bharani has set the song to music.

The pair in love romance with water, fire, earth, sky and air in the background," he explained.

``This and other songs are also shot in a novel way. It's going to be different in many ways," he says.

Chaya Singh (of `Manmadha Rasa' song fame) is happy. "It is a good film and the director and all the unit members are working as one big family. We have nearly finished the film but for some songs and climax. I feel the film has come out very well and all of us are happy."

Sri Maargabhandu Movies "Lemon" is a film shot in two languages, Tamil and Telugu.

Hero Sai Kiran is the son of singer Ramakrishna, a close relative of singer P. Susheela. They have shot the film in Chennai, Hyderabad, Vizag, Gangtok. Sai Mohan said two songs were shot in the capital of Sikkim.

"We don't have to go to foreign countries in search of locations. Charming places are aplenty here," he said.

The cast includes Hari Priya, Ishaq, Rami Reddy and Kalai Rani. Bharathi Raja's son Manoj is doing a negative role.

The story is how terrorism could be nipped in the bud. "Director Perarasu who gave `Thiruppachi' and `Sivakasi' has written the dialogue and we are sure of the film's success," said a confident Sai Mohan.
