ஆயுத எழுத்து (2004)

Curiosità

Aayutha Ezhuthu is a 2004 Indian Tamil-language political action film directed by Mani Ratnam. The film, loosely based on the life of George Reddy, a scholar from Osmania University of Hyderabad, stars Suriya, R. Madhavan, Siddharth, Trisha, Meera Jasmine, and Esha Deol, with Sriman, Janagaraj and Bharathiraja appear in pivotal roles. Notably, this film is the only Tamil film Deol has ever acted in. The film's title was taken from the name of the Tamil letter ஃ – three dots corresponding to the film's three different personalities from completely different strata of society.

Production

The film began pre-production in April 2003 in a typical manner adapted by the director, Mani Ratnam, who keeps his projects under wraps until completion. The director chose to make two different versions of the film as he did not want the film to be dubbed, explaining that the essence of the script would be lost if they had done so.

Suriya, who made his debut in the 1997 Mani Ratnam production Nerrukku Ner, revealed that he agreed "blindly" to star in the film without even listening to the story or his character. Suriya would also be seen in a clean shaven look for the first time in his career to portray a student, and it became a famous look for him.

Malayalam actress Meera Jasmine was signed on to play a slum dweller in the film portraying Madhavan's wife and it was reported that she spent hours perfecting her Tamil for the film, trying to get rid of her native Malayalam accent to adapt to the sound sync technique used. Relatively newcomer Trisha was also signed on to play a youngster in the film and dubbed for her own voice for the first time.

The director initially opted against using songs in the film but wanted to create an album with A. R. Rahman for the project. However, after the songs were recorded, Mani Ratnam had a change of heart and chose to include them. For the art direction in the film, Sabu Cyril studied each character in-depth, giving them a distinct colour, mood, and background to suit their temperament.

The scene filmed at Napier Bridge in Chennai was canned in early December 2003, the same time during which Suriya changed his getup and started filming for his another 2004 release, Perazhagan, but the schedule caused severe traffic and congestion in that area. Mani Ratnam began the Tamil version after Vivek Oberoi suffered an injury during the making of Yuva, giving him time to extract more out his actors in the Tamil version.
