Local ‘Goa’ on Malaysian sands

  • IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,July 25 2009]

They created a magic with ‘Chennai-28’ and later ‘Saroja’. Now people are expecting more from their next movie, ‘Goa’. The movie is back with the adorable star team comprising of Jai, Vaibhav, Premji Amaran and Aravind Akash. As the title denotes the movie is mostly shot in that exotic place and it revolves around a real life story that took place in Goa.

The movie captures the scenic locales of this India’s smallest state. Who can forget its beautiful sun kissed beaches and attractive shacks? Well, all was not rosy and fine for this movie team in this paradise. First, they were troubled by the excited onlookers there. And later, the rain played a spoil sport on them. Dejected with such obstacles, director Venkat Prabhu decided to shift their base to Malaysia. The entire crew traveled to Malaysia to continue the remaining shooting. But that was not the end of the woes. The movie had to bring Goa to Malaysia. For that they had to recreate a whole lot of Goan shacks on the Malay shores! And it had cost around 25 lakhs! So much for getting the right feel!

They say - To get the ‘cool’ effect, pay a ‘hot’ price!
