Wissenswertes

Paradesi (transl. Vagabond) is a 2013 Indian Tamil-language historical drama film written, produced and directed by Bala. The film starrs Atharvaa, Vedhika, and Dhansika, with Jerry and Riythvika in supporting roles. It is based on Eriyum Panikadu, a Tamil translation of the 1969 English novel Red Tea by Paul Harris Daniel. Set during the British Raj, the film revolves around an unemployed villager who is misled into bonded labour at a tea plantation after being promised generous accommodation and high wages by a Kangani, who tyrannically rules it.

Production

The film was adapted from Eriyum Panikadu, a Tamil translation of the 1969 novel Red Tea by Paul Harris Daniel which explores Harris's encounters with enslaved tea plantation workers in the Madras Presidency in colonial India. It was tentatively titled Eriyum Thanal, before being officially titled Paradesi. Poornima Ramaswamy, in her film debut, was the costume designer.

Riythvika, then a college student who was appearing in short films, made her feature film debut. Jerry, one half of the filmmaking duo J. D.–Jerry, made his acting debut as the main antagonist. Bala cast about 200 junior artistes and had them all go bald, ensuring they stayed that way throughout the 200-day schedule.
