It’s almost confirmed. And only an official announcement has to be made. That ‘Nanban’, the Vijay-Srikanth-Jeeva starrer directed by Shankar, will see the light of the day on the day of lights- Deepavali.
A Tamil remake of Hindi blockbuster ‘Three Idiots’, ‘Nanban’ is busy taking shape in Coimbatore, Ooty, Andaman and Amsterdam. “Most parts of the shoot are over and Shankar will commence post-production soon,” say sources.
It is to be noted here that Shankar would take enough time for post-production since the director would never be ready for any compromise on the end product. “Since this is his first remake, he is putting extra efforts.”
With Ileana playing the role played by Kareena Kapoor in the Hindi original, Sathyaraj is doing the character of a college principal, who is the heroine’s father. Anuya has an important role, that of Ileana’s elder sister.
Shankar is on schedule. He is making brisk progress on his 3 Idiots remakeNanban. The second schedule of the film is over in Dehradun.
Nanban has Vijay, Ileana, Jiiva , Srikanth, Sathyaraj, Sathyan and SJ Surayah , nearly 35 per cent of the film is complete with this schedule. Harris Jayaraj has already completed three out of the six songs in the album. Manoj Paramahams is the cinematographer.
Shankar wrote on his online site: "We have finished all the college exterior scenes in our 2nd schedule in Dehradun.
It's a visually wonderful campus. It is very interesting & new experience for me to work with Vijay, Sathyaraj, Ileana and almost every actor for the first time. Vijay-Sathyaraj combo is fresh and fantastic. As friends, Vijay, Jeeva and Srikanth's 'Physics' & 'Chemistry' is working very well, behind the camera too. all of them have started living in their roles. I'm enjoying working in Nanban which is completely contrast from Endhiran in all aspects
In the next three months Shankar will be completing the shoot and all songs for Nanban. The film produced by Gemini Film Circuit will be a Diwali 2011 release.
