S’porean horror film screens in India1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteA Tamil film helmed by a Singaporean executive producer is getting a 150-screen commercial release in India. It is probably the first Tamil film with major Singaporean involvement to get such a wide release in India.
Titled Unakkenna Venum Sollu, which translates to Tell Me What You Want, the horror film about a father-daughter relationship opens in Chennai, Mysore and Kerala today and in Singapore at Rex Cinema tomorrow.
At the helm of the film is 34-year-old Singaporean executive producer N. Shanmuga Sundaram. Although he did not direct it, he marshalled the film into existence, obtaining funding and distribution rights for the film, serving as the B-camera director and even co-writing the script.
He adds that the film – directed by his Sri Lankan film-making partner Srinath Ramalingam, whom he met in film school in California – will also be dubbed in Telugu for release in the Andhra Pradesh market.
Shot in Chennai over 45 days from July to September last year on a budget of about $400,000, it stars Deepak Paramesh and Jaqlene Prakash, both of whom found fame on the short film circuit in India, as well as Singaporean actor Gunalan Morgan, who was in the popular Vasantham drama Vettai.
