Priyadarshan's flick in Toronto Fest



If Bollywood film watchers are having a surge of feel-good hormones due to hearty laughter, it is mostly because of ace director Priyadarshan, the man behind several hilarious Bollywood flicks that appeal to audiences throughout the nation. Priyadarshan is not only a commercial cinema director, he also makes profound films like Kanchipuram, which has been selected for the Toronto Film Festival, where it will be screened in the special presentation section on September 12th. The film follows the life of a silk weaver in Kanchipuram in at a time when silk weavers were treated like bonded labourers. The film is based on real-life incidents, where a few weavers spur a revolution unable to bear the atrocities heaped upon them and this revolution results in the formation of a cooperative society that is functional to this day. Prakashraj plays the protagonist and Shriya Reddy plays his wife. Music is by M.G. Sree Kumar.

Priyadarshan said, �It is an analysis of Communism, which emerged in India in the early 1920s.� The director added that he has done extensive research for this film to give a graphic representation of what exactly transpired with a little imagination thrown in. After its special premiere at Toronto Film Festival, the film will be released in October.

Meanwhile, Priyadarshan is busy filming Shahrukh Khan's Billoo Barbe, the Hindi version of Kuselan�s source � Katha Parayumbol.

Priyadarshan is also producing his first Tamil film, Poi Solla Porom, which is a hilarious take on a timid man�s battle when a nefarious real estate mogul swindles his property. The film�s audio was released in July and has been doing good business. M.G. Sreekumar has composed the music of this film too.
