To what extent can one stretch when it comes to work?
Well Genelia is going guns shooting for cinematographer Santosh SivanÂs ÂUrumiÂ. Reports indicate that the actress is doing her best to get into her character of a princess which she will be in ÂUrumiÂ. The film is being shot in Malayalam and sees Prithiviraj, Genelia, Prabhudeva, Vidhya Balan, and Tabu in the lead roles.
Sources close to the ÂUrumi team indicate that there are a number of fight sequences involving Genelia in the film. The director, when he confirmed Genelia in ÂUrumiÂ, wanted her to learn ÂKalaripayattuÂ, and proving that she is a directorÂs actor, Genelia has not only learnt the self-defense techniques but also mastered kalari to a certain extent.
Whoever saw PadmapriyaÂs Kalaripayattu in ÂPazhassi Raja would have not forgotten how well she wielded the sword. The film won the actress critical acclaim. Genelia has gone a step further for ÂUrumi and learnt horse riding as well! And to add one more to her ever increasing list of things learned during ÂUrumi is that the ÂBoys gal has learnt to row a small boat specially made from Nowe, Poland.
ÂUrumi is being made at a whooping budget of 20 crores. The cinematography and direction is by Santosh Sivan. The film is expected to be released by the end of March or in April. We will be back with more updates on ÂUrumi as and when they happen!
