'Kanthaswamy' and Magical Realism
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,February 25 2008]
The shooting of ÂKanthaswamy turned out to be a sensational event with milk leaking from a Neem tree in the shooting spot today (Feb 25).
The shooting was held in Film City from early morning six o clock. When the unit was about to shoot a scene, they saw a wonderful sight in the nearby tree. Milk started to pour from the tree as if there was a spring of milk within the tree.
Hero Vikram, heroine Shriya, director Susi Ganesan, and others were stunned to see the unbelievable scene. The local people, who heard the news, gathered in large numbers and some of them started worshiping the tree treating it as goddess Amman.
The incident and the resultant sensation caused a delay in the shooting, which went on smoothly after a while.
The unit would soon leave to Mexico after taking a few scenes in Chennai. The mega budget film (around 40 crores), produced by Kalaipuli Thanu, is expected to be a summer release.
