Dubai, December 17: The shooting for the maiden international Tulu movie ‘Nirel’, being produced under the banner ‘Sandhya Creations’, has begun as scheduled in various locations in United Arab Emirates.

 

The movie was launched during the ‘Tuluvere Parba-2012’ and the Muhurat was held later in JLT-Dubai.

 

Speaking to the media persons Producer Shodhan Prasad said that the team effort and dedication is making the shooting progress as per the schedule and he is happy that all the technical team and the star cast are equally supportive each other in shooting with the planned time frame.

 

So far the indoor shooting took place in various locations and have captured the best moments as required.  Latest technology is being used in this state of art venture and as technically designed the creative works are going on in a professional manner, he said.

During one of the shooting in Jumeirah, Leah M. Koshimaki, a Research fellow from National Institute of Advance Studies, Bangalore who under Provincial Globalisation Programme doing a research of Tulu Nadu joined the shooting crew in introducing herself and have captured an interview with Shodhan Prasad in connection with Tulu Culture, Folk and development required to recognize this better.

 

The interview was taken in the presence of Sarvotham Shetty, President of Abu Dhabi Karnataka Sangha who accompanied her to the venue.  It was nice to see a European lady taking much interest in Tulu and doing a wonderful research for betterment.  Currently residing in India she has just come on a visit to UAE to meet some prominent people of Tulunadu residing here and get more information for her research.  She wished the project all the best.

 

Movie Crew


Director Ranjit Bajpe is the happiest man as he is being given a free hand to put his creativeness working in this maiden venture without any interference from the Producer.  He is fully confident of giving technical richness and youth oriented movie to the Tulu film industry.  Equally supportive is the award winning Cinematographer Mani Kookal Nair who does not compromise with quality, capturing repeatedly until satisfied with the final shots.  Editor Ashwath Samuel puts every effort to take as much foot long as he could in different angles to make up for his scissors needs in editing.  It is the tireless work one should appreciate the Executive Producer, San Poojary who keeps running day and night to arrange locations and all the needs for the shooting in a short span of time in spite of his regular job routine.  Equally important is the role of Art Director, Rajnish Amin whose creativity makes the movie colourful in every shot.  The entire star cast and the technical team works together like a family sacrificing their Fridays from 7 AM till late night with pure dedication and oneness.  Hero Anoop, heroines Varuna Shetty and Deepthi Salian and other cast including Anand Salian, Sandhya Prasad, Deepak D’Silva, Subash are all putting their every effort in delivering their best shots as required by the role.  Deepak’s comedy scenes were fantabulous while others acting skills are matching those of experienced actors.  Many other actors are awaiting their part to be filmed soon in the coming days.

 

Excellent support from Team members, Ramya Rajnish Amin, Ashwini Santosh Poojary & Nindiya Prasad on the locations is praise worthy.

Dubai, Aug 7: One may call it good luck, but for two Indian expats it was God who prevented them at the last minute from boarding the Air India Express plane that crashed in Kerala, killing at least 18 people on board.

According to India's Civil Aviation Ministry, the Boeing 737 aircraft on a flight from Dubai to Kozhikode overshot the runway at Kozhikode airport on Friday evening. There were 184 passengers including 10 infants, 2 pilots and four cabin crew onboard the aircraft.

Noufal Moin Vetten, an Ajman resident working as an office boy in a Sharjah school, was booked to travel on the flight and had checked in as per schedule.

Recounting his miraculous escape, Vetten, a resident of Malappuram, Thirunavaya, whose visa was cancelled a week ago, told Gulf News: “I was handed my boarding pass, but when I reached immigration, they told me I had to pay a fine of Dh 1,000 (Rs 20,430) for overstay. I had only Dh 500 (Rs10,215) with me.

"I called my school PRO and he told me to come back. He said they would follow protocols and pay the fines before sending me,“ he said.

Vetten was disappointed and called his family to let them know.

“When I heard about the crash, I was saddened for all the passengers. But I'm so relieved I missed it. God has been really merciful,” said Vetten.

Afsal Parrakodan, a resident of Abu Dhabi, had a similar stroke of luck.

“My work visa was cancelled about a week ago. After getting my boarding pass, I was told I had to pay a fine of Dh1,000 at the immigration counter, but I had only Dh500 on me.”

“I was very keen to board the flight and be with my family. So I called a friend who brought me the additional Dh500, but by then, my baggage had been offloaded and the flight's doors were closed,” said Parrakodan.

“I was feeling very sad and called my mother to tell her I had missed the flight. But a few hours later, when I learnt of the crash, I couldn’t help but feel relieved and thankful to God for saving my life,“ said an overwhelmed Parrakodan who plans to fly back next week.
