Interesting facts

Agadam is a 2014 Indian Tamil-language horror film directed by Mohamad Issack, featuring Baskar, Srini Iyer, and Sri Priyanka. Agadam was certified by the Guinness World Records as the longest uncut film which has a running time for 2 hours, 3 minutes and 30 seconds. The entire film was shot on 7 December 2012.

Production

The entire film was shot on 7 December 2012 at a three-storey bungalow near Porur in Chennai. The film running for 2 hours, 3 minutes and 30 seconds was shot on a single camera without any cuts and therefore awarded the Guinness World Record for being the longest uncut film, beating the record held by Russian Ark directed by Alexander Sokurov, which used a single 96-minute Steadicam sequence shot.

A director registered with the union (L. Suresh of Eththan fame), a notary public and a government teacher were present during the shoot, while a team followed Isaak and the cinematographer E.J. Nauzad Khan and filmed the entire making of the film in order to send the video to the Guinness Record jury. The camera used was a Sony NEX-FS100.

Director Issack gave up his software job to "make a film that is different, yet entertaining" and said that he wanted his first film to make an impact. He spent over a year on the script and stated that he was inspired by Russian Ark. Ten people were involved in the making of the film, the director, the cameraman, and 8 actors, who were all newcomers.
