It isn’t only the themes of director Baala that are offbeat but the unconventional places he sets his stories in. One unforgettable setting in Naan Kadavul is going to be the sequences shot in Kaasi where thousands from all over India come to bury their dead. Each day there is a huge conflagration here as the smoke and fire from hundreds of funeral pyres rise up in the air, burning into the night. What a bizarre but fascinating setting for a movie. The film will also be shot in Periyakulam, TN.
