‘Yugapurushan’ its making….
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010History is re created at the sets of ‘Yugapurushan’ by Director R. Sukumaran and crew. Director R. Sukumaran’s ‘Yugapurushan’ is based on the life and teachings of social reformer and saint Sree Narayana Guru, the shooting of which is on at various locations in Ottappalam.
“The movie is not a biography on Gurudevan as such. It is more on his thoughts and teachings,” says the director, who has helmed films such as ‘Padamudra’ and ‘Rajashilpi.’ “Sree Narayana Guru initiated social reforms in Kerala without shedding a drop of blood. His life, right from his early thirties in Maruthuamala to the famous ‘Kannadi prathishta’ at Kalavancode is depicted in the movie,” says Sukumaran. For director Sukumaran it’s his long term wish that is being filmed here at the sets of ‘YUGAPURUSHAN’. He had worked on this script for a decade and has all the screens portrayed in his mind. He had drawn 2000 screen shots by himself for this film. (more…)
