IT'S touted as the first Tamil film to be shot entirely in the US and the excitement doesn’t end there. 'Meiporul' is special to the Tamil film fraternity for sentimental reasons too.It’s the debut film of NRI civil engineer turned film producer and director Natty Kumar, son of producer TN Janakiraman of MR Arts Fame. The audio launch of the film was marked by the presence of several producers who lauded the efforts of the youngster.
As dad Janakiraman put it, “Since Natty became an engineer and settled in the US, I never imagined that one day I would be introducing him as a producer and director, carrying on my film lineage. It’s a very satisfying moment for me”
Dreams on Frames’ 'Meiporul' is a family suspense thriller, produced by Natty Kumar and Krishna Bala and has several American technicians. The background score is by John Masey while the camera has been handled by Chris Elridge. Lenin edits while Rahul debuts as the music director with this film.
Speaking on the occasion, S Ve Sekar remarked, “It's very courageous of Natty to make a film like this, spending in dollars, without even knowing the outcome of it. The film looks slick and America seems to be the real hero in it.” So what made Natty take up this film? “My dad gave me an Indian education while my wife made me go back to school in the US!” quipped Natty.
“Thanks to her encouragement, I did a film technology course in the US and the movie is the outcome of my interest in filmmaking.” The film’s co-producer, Krishna Bala was an IT geek in Napster before the film bug bit him too.
With more and more people from various backgrounds making Tamil films, looks like there are good times ahead for the film industry.

So what’s the f**king point of heroes, no really? Don’t they just act all morally highbrow saving virtues and looking like dicks albeit better dressed dicks than us? But still dicks though, bequeathed with amour or a good seamstress. Showing us up to be A typical inept-lings while they swan in (most times un-asked) and mute whatever quite entertaining cataclysm that was descending down your road while stealing whichever apparently distressed maiden is hanging about the place.
Based on that alone, they should not be encouraged, moreover culled. Alas 21st century heroism isn’t so slice and die. Everyone can be a sort of hero, so sit down Fatwoman and Widerman and lets get cracking.
