Shankar’s Arai En 305-il Kadavul

Director Shankar is in cloud nine after the mega success of Sivaji and the fact that the ball is set rolling for his dream project Robo. Though he directs big-budget movies, his home production, S Pictures, always makes films that do not boast of any lavishness. Even his Imsai Arasan 23-aam Pulikesi, an historical, was made on a shoestring budget.

S Pictures next venture, Arai En 305-il Kadavul is directed by Simbudevan, the same director who made Imsai Arasan. This movie has a scene where the top angle of a building must be shot. The director came up with an idea of using a helicopter to get the complete effect. But Simbudevan was very skeptical in putting forth this request to his producer. However, when Shankar was briefed about this he immediately approved the idea. The scene is now being shot at a building in Bangalore as it is easier to obtain permission from the authorities there than in Chennai
