Going South
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,July 09 2005]
There was a great fascination for shooting movies abroad in Kollywood.
But with burgeoning production costs producers and directors are taking the easy route --- to the southern Districts of Tamil Nadu
Currently three films of big actors are being churned out in the southern districts of Tamil Nadu.
While Vijay starrer Sivakasi is on at full flow in Karaikudi, Vikram's Maja is being shot in Pollachi and Prashanth's Thagappansamy at Thiruvannamalai.
Asked on choosing southern Tamil Nadu to shoot films, a producer says, "It is not just economical but also work is done at a rapid pace. There are still many places in these areas which have not been captured by our lens.
Not a bad idea, on the whole.
