Bala’s next - whats cooking? probably someone you know

Sensationalism of topics apart - Thamizh film director Bala is one who is never tired of chronicling people whom we dont want to notice in our daily life. He takes his audiences into the fringes of our society showing us people who are literally on their fringes. His latest journey is taking him to Kasi and to people whom we never ever care to notice that they exist. He has creatively collaborated for the first time in his career with an author, an eminent thamizh writer Jeyamohan who has written extensively about characters who live in the same street as you and me, but are totally hidden from our ‘normal’ gaze. Sensational aspects of his next project ‘Naan Kadavul’ are detailed in this behindwoods article. Forgive me for the god awful title for this post!!!

    Read that this film is about the Aghora Sadhus on the banks of the ganges and it apparently has 2 different endings. The first one is of the cannibalism and he has another ending planned if our dear censor board cannot stomach the reality that Bala strives to show on celluloid.

    I for one will go in on the first day to check this one out. I loved Pithamagan and liked Nandha a lot.

    He is one director who talks about the fringes of society and how we seem to have completely forgotten about that part of society what with films only being about the rich shaadi’s and what not

    Cheers, D
