A Village’S Sacrifice For Love

Nothing surpasses love when it comes to films, but here’s a storm of surprises that has happened in reality. The film ‘Aaravadhu Vanam’ is based on a real life incident about entire village community vacating their lands for the sake young couple in love. Even today, the village is occupied merely by this two and no one else.Director Bhuvanesh making his debut directorial wanted to film ‘Aaravadhu Vanam’ in the same village, but the couple didn’t allow them to do so. Without any options left, the crew journeyed across various crossroads and finally nailed down ‘Singaram Paalayam’ located near Kovai district (20Kms from Pollachi). But again, the villagers were infuriated on the plea of filmmaker to vacate their lands for 5 whole days. As they were explained about the contextual scenario and complete script, the villagers changed their minds and heeded to their petitions.For the next 5 days, not even a single child did enter the village and the filming was done without any interruption. ‘I cannot forget this moment till my last breath exists for no one would have done this in the history of Tamil cinema…’ says director Bhuvanesh.Bhuvanesh had earlier worked with ace filmmakers like Bhagyaraj and Parthiban and this film features Kannada actor Bhooshan and Vidya from God’s own country taking on lead roles.
