A M R Ramesh, who earlier directed
Cyanide, a movie that focused on
the lives of the suicide wing of
LTTE and the Rajiv Gandhi assassination
has announced his plans for a new
film that would be a biopic of sorts
about Prabhakaran, the late LTTE
leader’s life. In a recent
press interaction, he mentioned
that the screenplay of the movie
is ready and that he’s hunting
for suitable actors to play the
lead role.
Ramesh said he did not want to cast
actors who are already popular and
have an image of their own in the
role as it will ruin the characterization.
The movie is likely to go on floors
on November 27, the day celebrated
as Warrior day among LTTE cadets
when Prabhakaran addressed his followers
for more than 20 years. Though Prabhakaran
is believed to be dead, Ramesh is
keen to wait till the 27th of November
2009 as it is customary for the
LTTE leader to address his followers
wherever he is there on that date.
He also claims that there were earlier
instances when Prabhakaran was said
to be dead but he came out on the
27th of November. If he does not
make his appearance this year on
November 27th, Ramesh would make
suitable changes in his script accordingly
and start work.
