Guinness records holder to make Tamil film in 12 days
History is going to be made in Kollywood.
For the first time in the history of Indian as well as world cinema, a movie is going to be made in just 12 days.
Now several movies must have been previously completed in less than 12 days in different parts of the world. But what makes this attempt special is that from the concept, the script building, the music composing, fixing locations, production, editing, getting the censor certificate to the fully finished film hitting the big screens, everything will happen within these 12 days.
The date on which the work of the film will be flagged off is April 13 at 6 p.m. and the race against the time will end at April 25 at precisely 6.p.m. There is a purpose to be fulfilled by taking up such a challenge and completing the flick.
It is to gain entry into the Guinness book of World records for a new record.
Suresh Joachim, the multiple Guinness record holder from Canada who has more than 50 Guinness Records to his credit is the lead actor of the film.
The film is going to be produced Suresh Joachim and Andrew Raymond. V Krishnamoorthy has been fixed as the director of the film. Deva will be doing the music and editing will be carried out by V.T.Vijayan. Vairamuthu is the lyrics writer and V.Prabhakar will pen down the dialogues.
S.Indrajith, Zamal Deen, and Srinivaas are the cinematographers working in this novel attempt.
Vivek, Meera Jasmine, Suman, Bose Venkat, Rajiv, Alex, Thayagu and Shravan are the lead actors of the movie.
For reasons connected to record-entry-stipulations, the title of the movie and the project is not supposed to be revealed till it is screened. So for the time being the film has been given the title ‘Guinness Vision’.
Nine members from Guinness will be present at the shooting locations to keep tab on the proceedings.
The film with the duration of 140 minutes and three songs will be flagged off by the Chief Minister of Pudhucherry- V.Vaithiyalingam.
