Interesting facts

Kirumi (transl. Germ) is a 2015 Indian Tamil-language thriller film written, directed and edited by Anucharan in his debut feature. The film is co-written by M. Manikandan and produced by JPR Films, and stars Kathir and Reshmi Menon. K composed the music and Arul Vincent, was the cinematographer. It released on 24 September 2015.

Production

Anucharan, a director of several short films, music videos and television shows in Australia, had come to Chennai for his sister's wedding, when M. Manikandan, the director of Kaaka Muttai and a close friend of him, and composer G. V. Prakash Kumar, encouraged him to make a Tamil film, after hearing the script of Kirumi.

Reshmi Menon signed on to portray the female lead in the film, although she was initially apprehensive as she felt that the role—a typical North Madras woman, sporting a "no-makeup" look and talking "proper Tamil"—was "very much outside my comfort zone". David Solomon Raja, who had appeared in several television serials and as a police officer in Kaththi, was reported to have played a major role in the film.

90 per cent of the film was filmed in Chennai while some shooting had taken place in Puducherry and Kovalam. In September 2014, Anucharan spoke with The New Indian Express and shared that "now it has been six months and Kirumi is almost complete." It was announced in January 2015 that filming was complete and the project had moved into post production.
