Ameer and his film on Eelam Tamils
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,June 19 2009]
Looks like director AmeerÂs voice for the Eelam Tamils will go beyond stage speeches. The director, who was one of the vociferous speakers about the plight of Tamils in Sri Lanka, has already planned a script on their lives.
Despite Tamils and Tamil cinemaÂs support for the Tamils in Sri Lanka, which is a big market for our movies, only two movies have dealt with their plight: Mani RatnamÂs ÂKannathil Muthamittaal and BalaÂs ÂNandhaÂ. But director Ameer, who is completing his ÂYogi currently, has decided on making a movie about these Tamils.
Having kept the script ready, it is now learnt that the director plans to call the film ÂKilinochiÂ. Another director who plans to make a movie on the Lankan ethnic crisis is director Bharathiraja.
