Wissenswertes

Appu is a 2000 Indian Tamil-language romantic action thriller film written and directed by Vasanth. The film stars Prashanth, Devayani and Prakash Raj. It is a remake of the Hindi film Sadak (1991). The film was released on 16 June 2000.

Production

K. Balachander wanted to produce a "quickie", and when he offered Vasanth to direct a remake of the Hindi film Sadak (1991), Vasanth agreed as he could not refuse an offer from his mentor. When casting the lead actor, Vasanth intentionally chose Prashanth, who he felt was stereotyped as a "lover boy", as he wanted to experiment with his acting prowess. The film entered development in mid-1999.

Prakash Raj played the character of a eunuch, reuniting with Vasanth after Aasai (1995). Vasanth said he considered various actors before finalising Raj because he "has got a lot of fire in him and we vibe very well too". During production, some eunuchs hailing from Thiruvannamalai threatened to initiate large scale protests and do their best to hinder shooting schedules if portions of the film were not reshot.
