"Veerakkal Daivangal" - My debut Film !!

 A long time dream come true with my debut film "Veerakkal Daivangal". A saga of stoned heroes of Venad.

It was one of my greatest desire to act in a film. Now it has come true.

Thank God for giving me the opportunity. 

I am doing the role of  "Pareeth Avuliya", one among the four warriors of Venad.

My twin brother is also in the film doing the role of "Potti."



"Veerakaldeivangal" is a short film based
on an untold history that dates back to AD 1600 which revolves around
people of two lands who speak different languages, but own hearts with
utmost desire to gain power over each other and establish supremacy of
ego over each other. Its about the friendship and patriotic love of
four warriors, Kali Nair, Kannamma, Pareeth Avuliya and Bhairavan who
have only one mission i.e. to protect their mother land, even if it
meant sacrificing their earthly lives for the sake of their Master
Iravikutty Pillai, the Army Chief of Venad King Unni Kerala Varma, who
was repeatedly attacked by Thirumalanaikar, the ruler of Madhurai.
Each day of these five heroes’ lives move on aspiring to embrace the
great day they might leave their earthly life, but will be ever
remembered and respected for their martyrdom, and be glorified as
“Veerakaldeivangal”, (the brave stoned Gods of Venad/ brave stoned
heroes of Venad) who gave their lives bravely for the Mother Land.

The film will be released in mid December 2011. Waiting for its release now.

Waiting for its success..

Its all about a second....

It was the second day after i joined with the company. Company had  an induction program for the new employees to introduce everything about the office to the new comers. I knew only a very few faces on that day. My friend and me sat around a table. 4 other people also joined us at the table. We made an introduction with the people around the table.

  The program started. Everything was going serious and also fine. Senior Managers, project heads, HR managers, etc and such top officials were having a few sharing of words with us. Before lunch there was another speech by a top official whose speech was so inspiring and motivating.  I was tempted many times to stand up and applaud for his beautiful speech. But standing up alone will make others think that i woke up from sleep.So i didn't.
 
  After his speech, he was answering to the queries by the audiences about his personal life. Even though i was motivated by his talk, his answering session made me feel bored. So i started drawing speaker's head (side pose) in the notepad given to us. HR managers noticed me not listening to him and drawing something. HRM couldn't see what i was drawing.I put a small signature on it and wrote thank you by its side. I was simply drawing it and as the picture was good i just tore it from the notepad and folded it and kept with me. HRM was having a bad opinion on me when i was tearing the paper. They were murmuring each other.
 
 I thought of giving this picture to the speaker. But i was really tensed. I want to give it, but i was tensed about the reaction of others. My mind was telling me to stand up first. But my legs were not giving me the support. I was telling in my mind." I should give this. I should give this. Just stand up. Then give." I was telling this for many times to my mind. I started sweating even though the room was air conditioned. I shook my body to get out of the shivering. Heat was going up in my head. Hands sweating up. Mind telling " Stand up man, stand up".

 I was just lacking a single support to stand. If i didn't give, nothing will happen. But if i give, i can't predict the reaction. What to do? "Give or not". One second to stand, it could change everything. I was haunted by my positive attitude and confidence which made me say myself " Give it. "

 Finally with a high pressure, I closed my eyes and took a long breath. The speaker was near me. I was about to stand up. Suddenly another person from the audience stood up and said to the speaker that his speech was so encouraging and motivating. The speaker was happy to hear it. Speaker went away from me.  Everyone applauded him for the good speech. Damn... I lost it. The speaker asked " Can we leave for lunch ?" HR said " ok ". My mind again started heating up. Speaker asked again to audience " Anything else ?"  A change in a single second. Some power from my mind pushed me up to stand. I stood up. I don't know what to say. Legs were getting weaker. The speaker came to me and asked " Anything to say? " .

 I was searching for words and slowly started. I said " I am not an artist or a painter.  But this is for you. I tried to drew your picture. This is for giving us such a good speech. " And i gave that paper to him. He was surprised to see it. HR was saying " Wow". My ears filled with silence for a second, then suddenly got filled with full round of applause and excitement sounds from audience. My mind got super cooled.  The speaker said, " And that made me my day."  And the session was ended for lunch. The HR and other people were eager to see the picture and he was happy to show it. I escaped from the scene after telling my mind " You have done it man.." . During lunch, everyone was searching for me to ask about the picture.

 That day got over. Days passed. After 3 weeks, we had a meeting with that person who was the speaker on that day. He announced all official things to us. Before we start to leave the room he asked " Who was the guy who drew my picture on that day ? " I said " Sir, I am." He asked my name and i said it. He told that he was having that picture in his purse and he had shown it to some of the other officials who met him 2 days before.  I was so delighted and i was proud of myself for that one second. And that day also ended up with a happy mood.

"A single second has changed everything.. Like this every second is waiting for you.

 Just be positive, confident and do it."

This is my advice...

3 + 1 = 4 days, A new experience in life...

     I had a desire for acting in a movie and i was chasing it down for past few years. I tried a lot of times to get a chance, but wherever I go I was dropped down. And finally i got a chance to act in a short film now. And shooting was done in 3 days and an extra 1 day, totally 4 days. It was a new and good experience in my life which taught me the difficulty of making a film and about the team work. A little more work for the film is still pending.
 
     For 3 days, the location for shooting was at Shenkottai, a place in Tamil Nadu. A beautiful place with paddy fields on one side, hills on another side, forest and a huge pond also which makes the place more beautiful. But the atmosphere was so hot and dry. Some people of the crew used sunscreens, but it didn't save them. I didn't use any of the chemicals. Everyone was affected by sun burn. It was hard to lie on bed as the shoulders were completely burned.

    First day i was fully in front of camera. But second day, i tried to be in the shade whenever i was out of camera. But that too didn't worked. It was harder to sleep than the first day. I thought if i were a Film star, i could have a person holding umbrella whenever i am out of camera or i could have an air conditioned caravan to rest in. I slept on that day, just because i was tired. Some of the artists were there just for hours. They too were affected. Just think  the difficulty of others who were there for three days. Third day i had a wet towel around my shoulders every time.  That was a great relief. And i was so happy to get out of that place. when the director finally said "pack up". I was driving the car back to Trivandrum and it was really difficult to move my hands and shoulders.

   Somehow on recovering from the burn, another call for 1 day shoot came. Again had a shoot for a day at Aruvikkara, Trivandrum. And shoulders started burning. Now again recovering. I understood how the commercial film actors and the film crew try hard to make a film success. That is a real team work. I was happy to have a good experience in my life. I love such different experiences.

Thank GOD

My dream, my aim...

     When I was a school boy, me with my dad and cousin sister went to some beautiful place long way from home. My cousin sister was having an interview on that day. There was a huge tower at the center of the road which was an amazing view for me, the first time. But it was familiar to me through a Malayalam film. On another side, construction of road and a building was progressing. After interview, we came back. Dad told me on  that day to  get a job there. It was the first time dad was talking to me about job. The place was Technopark, Trivandrum.

      

     When I was in college doing my engineering degree in Computer Science, I was aiming for a job. But as my dream was to get a job in technopark, i tried for it many times. But failed in all attempts. I got into a job within the city near my home. But technopark job was miles away from me. I was thinking of jumping to any of the companies in technopark with experience. Nothing worked. I  resigned my job. I was wandering here and there for a few months. My friends and college mates got into technopark. I saw computer engineers of famous IT companies who were my college mates. The lighter part was that they were doing engineering in Electrical & Electronics. I was wondering that the companies rejected me even when i had experience and a Computer Science degree.

     

 I promised myself to get a job in technopark and to work there in any company atleast for a day. As referred by my friend i went for an interview and i got selected. It was an exciting moment for me. Finally the date of joining came as 12th September 2011. I was really surprised to see the joining date because it was my birthday. I still believe that its a gift from God for me on my birthday.

   It was my fate and God played a good game. 2 years i tried hard for the job. I didn't get. August 12 2011 a bad thing happened in my life. I thought fate was going opposite to my dream. But ten days after, on August 22 2011, I got a job. And exactly after 1 month, on 12 September 2011, I joined RR DONNELLEY, Technopark, Trivandrum as process associate.

God closed one door of my life and opened another one for me.....

And now I got my first salary... 

Thank God...

Acting - A tough job

Acting is what i felt tough when compared to singing. I am a good singer. I used to perform on stage. So no stage fear like facts had affected me. But acting had made me stand upside down to bring it on the right way. Expressions, Dialogues & body languages, all should come at the same time.

 I got a chance to act in a tele serial when i was on 8th std. At that time i thought acing was really easy. But my role had a easy job, because i had less dialogues. Just stand with the elders of the serial, since i was acting as their children.

That was my role. But whenever i started telling a dialogue, the director start shouting "CUT". 

Everytime when i hear these words i was getting more tensed. Lights On, Camera Rolling, Action.... 

I thought directing was a easy job. And  camera too..

But now, at present, i could realize that acting, directing, camera, etc has its own difficulty. You should capture it with your hard work.It is really hard and needs a great practice and hard work to implement it well.

I went for many auditions of films. I used to act well there, but i could understand very lately that i was not selected because i had no expressions on my face.

Everytime when i feel that i don't know acting two films come to my mind motivating me to try acting again. Those two films are "Udayananu Tharam" & "Best Actor".

Some dialogues in the movie are really made for people like me. And i am still continuing my pursuit behind acting.

Hope 1 day i will become a good one in the film field.

Thank God

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY

 Today INDIA is celebrating its 65th Independence day.

We Indians see many injustice like corruption and terrorrism. And we see our police force not doing their job properly.

But today it was a day of rewriting the concepts of Police force. The bad conditions of road was a curse for Poojappura residents. (Poojappura is in Trivandrum,Kerala). No government officials had utilised their position for public. Neither the trivandrum corporation.


Today on Independence Day the Police force of Poojappura Station had motivated and inspired the public by doing a great work. The police had made the road temporarily in good condition. Police were complemented by public. The work was a real reply to lazy & irresponsible government and corporation.
Even though Police are not doing their duty well enough this duty has captured the hearts of public.

This must be motivation for everyone in our republic INDIA.
Those who have the power, they have to do their responsibility.

Jai Hind....

Thank GOD
