Having taken off to the US for a small course in film making at the New York Film Academy in Los Angeles, the actor is back with a lot more than just experience. Apparently the stint has resulted in a joint collaboration with Australia’s Channel 9, which will now produce films starring the actor.
New collaboration
“I met students from across the world during my course there. Some friends from Channel 9 showed keen interest in South Indian cinema once I explained about our industry to them. So when they approached me for a joint collaboration I explained it all to my father Vijaykumar”.
During the making of Thavam, he had already announced that our home company, Movie Slides Pvt Ltd, would be making 2 films with me in January and June of 2009.
But we did not want to lose this international opportunity either. So when my father- in-law showed interest in filmmaking, we founded a new company called Feather Touch Entertainment to enter into this international collaboration”, explains Arun.
Commitment to cinema
Arun’s father-in-law, Dr NS Mohan, a General Physician cum Granite exporter who has now turned film producer, was always interested in films and has now found an opportunity to pay homage to his friend, the late actor Raghuvaran, via this film project.
His son, Hemanth will be the co-producer. Disclosing the plans of the company, Mohan said that, “We are here to make good movies in the long term and are not looking at immediate profit or loss.
I have immense faith in my son-in-law who has been training hard for the next film, regardless of whether he had new projects or not. This sort of dedication will surely yield results.”
Arun, for his part, has already been taking kickboxing lessons and freestyle running classes to get into shape. The film’s heroine is yet to be cast, but Prakash Raj will be playing an important role.
The screenplay is by writer, Pattukottai Prabhakar. “I will be playing a call taxi driver and the story has 16 main characters”, revealed Arun.
With so much going for it, lets see if lady luck favours this persevering youngster this time.
