| A
new genre flick ‘Payanam’ produced
by Prakash Raj along with Dil Raju from
the banner ‘Silent Movies’ is
said to be an ‘edge of the seat’
thriller, different from the usual action
packed movies. The successful duo Prakash
Raj and Radha Mohan who have a created a
niche for themselves in this industry, come
together in this fourth production of Duet
Movies after their super hits ‘Azhagiya
Theeye’, |

‘Mozhi’
and ‘Abhiyum Naanum’. Payanam will hit the
screens in the Telugu version as "Gaganam"
with the same star cast and the technical crews produced
by Dil Raju.
This movie under Radha Mohan’s direction moving
away from his regular family oriented stories has Telugu
superstar Nagarjuna and Prakash Raj along with Poonam
Kaur and Sana Khan. This is a direct Tamil film after
a gap of 13 years for Nagarjuna the Tollywood star,
fit as a fiddle even after more than 25 years in the
tinsel world. Nagarjuna with a good fan base in Chennai
too is said to have fitted into the character of the
NSG commando with the expert directions given by Radha
Mohan and Prakash Raj who had beforehand researched
well for this. Prakash Raj needless to say is adept
at squeezing into any character with ease and he is
said to have done the same thing in Payanam too as the
senior bureaucrat interacting with the terrorists.
Bharath Reddy & Brahmanandam play important roles
supporting the main cast. Rishi, M S Bhaskar, Thalaivasal
Vijay, Kumaravel, Manobala, Badava Gopi and Nitheesh
don various characters strengthening the screenplay.
The storyline of Payanam is all about a plane which
is being hijacked by terrorists and the mental agony
of the passengers when the terrorists force its landing
at Tirupati airport. The scenes advance with the commandoes
planning to storm the flight to rescue the passengers
and the bureaucrats interacting with the government
to release a dreaded terrorist from Vellore jail to
save the flyers peacefully.
A huge set at a whopping cost of Rs 3 crore has been
created at Ramoji Rao Studios in Hyderabad by art director
Kathir to recreate the Tirupati airport. Though the
main concept stands on the Kandahar hijack in 1999 the
story is a combination of incidents from various hijacks.
Payanam is said to lucidly project the emotional trauma
of the hundreds of passengers put at stake by a handful
of terrorists. It is also said to have lighter moments
amidst the tension packed hours in the flight.
Background music has been scored by Praveen Mani to
keep up with the pacing tempo. Sometimes sudden brake
is applied to the story’s speed by songs barging
into serious sequences. Luckily this movie does not
have any song. After Mozhi, Radha Mohan has teamed up
with cinematographer Guhan. Payanam is shot in digital
format in Red camera giving the team an unusual experience.
So, fasten your seat belts to check if Payanam will
be another success story really hijacking the viewers’
hearts when the movie will be released on 11th February. |
