趣闻
Madrasapattinam is a 2010 Indian Tamil-language historical romance film written and directed by Vijay. The film stars Arya with Amy Jackson, while Carole Trangmar-Palmer plays an older version of Amy. Nassar, Cochin Hanifa, Lisa Lazarus, and Alexx O'Nell play supporting roles. Set primarily in the 1940s during the British Raj, it revolves around a British woman falling in love with an Indian man, but they face threats from a sadistic British officer who is her suitor.
Production
Director A. L. Vijay revealed that Madrasapattinam was supposed to happen later in his career, but the intervention of producer Kalpathi S. Aghoram helped realise the viability of the film earlier. Vijay had first explored the script in his college days and drew inspiration from an English professor who "used to talk to us about the freedom movement a lot", furthering Vijay's interest in history.
After the release of Poi Solla Porom in September 2008, Vijay began researching on the script. Since the team had only few references of how the city of Madras between 1945 and 1947 had looked like, with only black and white images and no film footages during that time, Vijay had met independence veterans journalist S. Muthiah, painter-writer Manohar Devadoss and Ramasamy, a personal assistant of C.
Vijay chose to make the protagonist as a dhobi and wrestler as "when the British came to India, they depended heavily on cooks and dhobis wherever they were" and in Madras the dhobis lived in the same area the Britishers were residing, which was now called Vannarapettai. As Vijay "wanted someone who looked good and would be attractive for a rich British girl", he initially asked Mahesh Babu to play the lead role but could not accept it.
English Miss Teen World winner Amy Jackson was selected after Vijay found a picture of her on the Internet and tracked her down. It is her acting debut. Arya told Sankaran Malini of The New Indian Express that he was amazed by Jackson's professionalism and her commitment to weather, adding "This being her first film ever and coming down from a city like London, adjusting to the climate here was a big challenge for her.
The film also featured numerous Indian and foreign artists. American actor Alexx O'Nell made his South Indian debut playing the antagonist Robert Ellis. Madrasapattinam was Cochin Haneefa's posthumous film role, as he died in February 2010, before the film's release. Sathish made his film debut in a minor role.
