Young director Sripathy is touching a milestone with his first Tamil film 'Kanimozhi'. With all support from producer T Siva of Amma Creations, the debutant is making live recording, which is not just exhaustive, but expensive too.
According to a source in the unit, only natural light has been used to shoot for the film. "We have recorded it using sync sound. Dubbing is only for heroine Shazahn’s character. Everyone else has done live recording."
On the difficulties involved in live recording, the source says: "The rent for camera will be high in normal shootings. But for films using live recording, the rent for the high quality recorder is higher than that of camera."
"Also, a silent power generator has to be used for live recording whose rent too is expensive," the source says and adds: "However, producer Siva is not bothered about it and is ready to spend to get a quality end product".
"Swathi of ‘Subramaniapuram’ was earlier set to be the female lead of 'Kanimozhi', which is a heroine-oriented story. However, she opted out of the project due to difficulties in allocating dates, following which Shazahn Padamsee has been signed," sources say.
Director Sripathi, a former associate of Venkat Prabhu, the movie will have Shazahn Padamsee as heroine. She has acted opposite Ranbir Kapoor in the recent Hindi release ‘Rocket Singh’.
