EntertainmentThe series, which begins on July 20, will showcase the different faces of a male lover in 10-minute episodes.Tnm StaffIn one episode, he will be egoistic. In another he is going to behave like a slave. In a third, he will be cheesy. It’s called Anatomy of a Kaamukan, a web series that will begin this Friday on director Gautham Vasudev Menon’s YouTube channel Ondraga Entertainment. This will be Ondraga’s first foray into Malayalam, after several productions of songs and series in Tamil. “It is being made by an online content house we started called KaCHaTaThaPa Originals. And we are getting technical support from Ondraga. They will also do the release and promotion,” says Amal Thamby, director of the series. Anatomy of a Kaamukan will show the different faces and emotions of a male lover in 10-minute episodes. “It will be non-linear,” Amal says. The ‘kaamukan’ will be played by Vishnu Agasthya, a video jockey, who recently gave a commendable performance in the award-winning film Aalorukkam. An alumnus of the Adyar Film Institute, Amal has earlier made a short film called I am 22, which was shown at the International Film Festival of India (Goa) in 2014. He has also worked as a faculty at Sibi Malayil’s Neo Film School in Kochi. A new episode of Anatomy of a Kaamukan will be released every Friday, Amal adds. Ondraga Entertainment is keenly watched by netizens and every production the banner has showcased has been well received. This includes the Tovino-Dhivyadharshini starrer music video ‘Ulaviravu’, composed by Karthik. Apart from promoting independent music, there’s also the Tamil web series Weekend Machan, revolving around the lives of four young techies, and several short films that have been released on the channel.

CinemaKamala, who is a well-known gynaecologist, has pointed out that some facts in the film are either false or distorted and have hurt her family.Digital NativeDigital NativeThe biopic on the legendary actor Savitri, Mahanati in Telugu and Nadigaiyar Thilagam in Tamil, was released a few days ago and has received positive reviews. However, Kamala Selvaraj, daughter of actor Gemini Ganesan through his first wife and noted gynaecologist, is angry over the biopic as she says it shows her father in poor light. In an interview with Tnie, Kamala Selvaraj pointed out that some facts in the film are either false or distorted and so have hurt her family. She says that it is totally untrue that Gemini Ganesan introduced Savitri to alcohol. She also said that the makers have portrayed Gemini Ganesan “to be jobless and hanging around the sets of Savitri’s films all the time”, whereas he was a star with his own fan following. Kamala Selvaraj is reported to have said that her father tried to save Savitri on several occasions and at one point of time had gone to her house but was thrown out by the guards over there. Ever since then, he refused to meet Savitri and the relationship ended on a bad note, she said revealing that she was there with her dad during the incident. Mahanati/Nadigaiyar Thilagam, directed by Nag Ashwin, stars Keerthy Suresh as Savitri and Dulquer Salmaan as Gemini Ganesan. The film is doing extraordinarily well in the Us. So far it has collected over Rs 12 crore in the Us market and is all set to cross the $2 million mark. The biopic has an ensemble cast, including Samantha Akkineni, Vijay Deverakonda, Rajendra Prasad, Tanikella Bharani, Bhanupriya, Malavika Nair, Shalini Pandey, Tulasi and Divyavani. The film also has a long list of celebs making cameo appearances and they include Akkineni Naga Chaitanya, Mohan Babu, Prakash Raj, Naresh, Krish, Srinivas Avasarala, Sandeep Vanga, Tharun Bhascker Dhaassyam and Sai Madhav Burra.

TollywoodKeerthy also revealed that 80 percent of the film will be about Savitri's off screen life.Siddarth SrinivasKeerthy Suresh has been more of a mainstream heroine who has featured in films that revolve around the hero so far. Her films have been mostly confined to the entertainment space or have slightly veered towards the experimental – which hasn’t worked out always. However, Keerthy’s upcoming release Mahanati (Nadigaiyar Thilagam in Tamil), will be a stride out of the usual films that she has been doing. Directed by Nag Ashwin of Yevade Subrahmanyam fame, it is a biopic of the late legendary actor Savitri. When reports first surfaced that Keerthy Suresh would be donning the role of Savitri, jokes were cracked at will. Madhan Karky, who has written both the dialogues and the lyrics for the Tamil version addressed the issue at a press meet, saying “Keerthy was a troll bunny at first for all netizens who couldn’t come to terms with the fact that she would be reprising the role of Savitri. But trust me, she has put in a Herculean effort and has got into the skin of the character.” Speaking next, Keerthy Suresh had a lot of things to say about her modus operandi for the film and how it all came together. “This is the first time I am speaking about Nadigaiyar Thilagam on a stage. Director Nag Ashwin had come forward saying that he had approached me after watching Thodari. Despite the film receiving tons of criticism after release, I had an instinct telling me that it would do something good to me, someday. And it happened,” she said. “At first, I was extremely skeptical about whether I could portray the life of such a legendary actress on screen successfully. The film also wanted to throw some light on the negative sides of her life, so I was afraid whether it would hurt a section of the people. It was only Nagi (Nag Ashwin, director) who had convinced me saying that this film would be an account of Savitri’s life, and there would not be any fictional airs to it,” she added. Keerthy then spoke about how the whole unit of the film was a ‘fresh bunch’, with producer Swapna and the director Nagi being extremely involved in the proceedings and making it so easy for the artists. “People did question me on the maturity and the experience of the one-film old director to handle a biopic of such a legendary actress. But right from the narration, I was impressed with Nagi’s passion and conviction. I heard him narrate the story for 3 hours, I had a spark then and there, that this would be a fruitful outing,” she said. The technical prowess of Mahanati is a staunch example of how uncompromising the makers should be when churning out a film of this scale. Hailing from Spain, Dop Dani Sanchez-Lopez’s expertise will be apparent in how difficult it is to spot the differences between the original Savitri who is etched in the minds of the viewers, and Keerthy’s reprisal. “Even though Dani does not know much about Savitri, he has watched her films and has tried to bring about the same authenticity, including the little twinkle in her eye. There are lots of different stages of Savitri’s life that we have captured, right from the school going phase to the golden era to the dull and dizzying aftermath. Lighting and surrounding setup are important factors in such a depiction, apart from the makeup and the costumes. With his impressive improvisation in all areas, we shared a great rapport on the sets,” said Keerthy. With regards to the look and feel, Keerthy said that huge efforts have been put in by costume designer Gaurav to bring about Savitri’s image from top to toe. Speaking on the same, Keerthy said, “I myself have about 120 sarees in the film. All of them have been stitched, nothing has been bought from outside. Nagi’s and Swapna’s mothers, too, were kind enough to give us some of their original sarees which would fit into our film. Stylist Indrakshi and jewelry designer Naveen, too, have been very careful to reciprocate the same scenes from many earlier films, with actual references. We finalised the basics at the first look test itself, it is only the detailing which took a lot of time and effort.” “We have even used prosthetic makeup and padding for an important sequence in the film, where the character bloats up a little. We shot for 15 days, where I had to put in four hours on makeup every day before going to shoot. I could not have any solid food, and survived on a liquid diet, shooting for 7-8 hours at a stretch. It was stressful, still worthy,” Keerthy shared. Keerthy further assured everyone that Mahanati/Nadigaiyar Thilagam would be different from the usual biopics that hit the marquee. “We have seen Savitri on screen, but the film focusses on her off screen life. 80 percent of the film would be about what turns her personal life had taken, and how it had affected her career. We are very thankful to Vijaya Chamundeswari, Savitri’s daughter, who was a pillar in our scripting process. Speaking and spending time with her, I grasped a lot of mannerisms and character traits which helped me build my performance,” Keerthy added. Mahanati/Nadigaiyar Thilagam will release on May 9, worldwide. Ravi of Trident Arts will be distributing the film across Tamil Nadu.
