Arya as a Cannibal in "Naan Kadavul"

The secrets of Naan kadavul has been kept in secret till now. This movie is almost nearing completion and in an scoop interview to a Tamil rag, the director has confessed some of the closely guarded secrets of the movie. Naan Kadavul is mostly shot in the banks of the Hindu sanctum river Ganges and opens with Arya’s rudradadavam in the shorings of the Ganges. When retrieving an incident during the shooting, Bala adverted that a Sadhu visited the spot after hearing the song "Orumurayaa Irumurayaa" composed by Maestro Ilayaraja and did not leave place till the song gets over. “He heralds from northern India and did not infer a word of Tamil, But still, I could see tears running down his cheeks towards the end of the song,” Bala added. The Sadhu touched Bala’s feet before leaving mentioning that he could trace the meaning of the song without understanding the language. 'Such was the baron of music and that was when I agnised Ilayaraja’s music has no boundaries,' Bala further said.

Bala has brought to light the lives of Agory Sadhus, who are said to be cannibals surviving on the dead in the banks of river Ganga, for the first time in Indian cinema. The movie also concenters on the lives of physically and mentally challenged people and beggars. “I wanted to engage real people in the movie and hence we had to interact with such people a lot to make them extradite the dialogues perfectly,” Bala added.

Arya plays an Agory in this movie. There are certain scenes of Arya devouring Pooja’s dead body which might pay for trouble from the censor board. However, Bala has an equally powerful climax scene in hand just suppose if the censor officials raise concern. Besides, Bala disclosed that the climax fight scene took about one month to shoot. He said that the fight scenes would be real and they had to work for a month to that effect. Thus this movie seems to convey a typical work of Bala. Let's wait for the movie to be released.
