Maanaadu (transl. Conference)[1] is an upcoming Indian Tamil-language science fiction political thriller action film written and directed by Venkat Prabhu and produced by Suresh Kamatchi of V House Productions. The film stars Silambarasan, Kalyani Priyadarshan and S. J. Suryah alongside Bharathiraja, S. A. Chandrasekhar, Karunakaran and Premgi Amaren in supporting roles. The film's music and score is composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, with cinematography handled by Richard M. Nathan and editing done by Praveen K. L. It revolves around the Chief Minister's bodyguard and a police officer, who is trapped in a time loop, at the day of a public conference and forced to live the same day over and over again.[1]

The project was announced on 9 July 2018, thereby becoming Venkat Prabhu's first collaboration with Silambarasan. Despite, the extensive pre-production work which went for over a year, the producer ousted Silambarasan from the project in August 2019, citing his unprofessional behaviour, and planned to choose another actor for his role instead.[2][3] The actor had planned to announce another project titled Maghaa Maanaadu in that month, which he had dropped.[4] With few controversies, the issue was resolved in November 2019, after Silambarasan agreed to allot his dates for the film.[5]

Filming began on 19 February 2020 at Chennai, following a preliminary announcement about the cast and crew.[6] Despite shooting being affected twice due to the restrictions followed during the first and second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the makers wrapped the shooting of the film within July 2021, taking only 68 working days for shooting.[7] It was filmed extensively in Chennai, with sporadic schedules taking place in Pondicherry, Yercaud and Hosur.[7]

The film was earlier scheduled to release on Diwali (4 November 2021), but was postponed to 25 November 2021, to get the benefits of a wide and extended release worldwide. It will also be dubbed and released in Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi languages, with the dubbed versions being titled The Loop.[8]

Premise

On the day of a public conference by the state's Chief Minister, his bodyguard and a police officer became stuck in a time loop.

Cast

Production

Pre-production

Venkat Prabhu initially planned to collaborate with Silambarasan for Billa 3,[11] the third instalment in the Billa film series, which came under the news in late 2016.[12] With Prabhu failing to helm the project, because of his ongoing commitments with his directorial Party, Silambarasan decided to direct the film by himself, after a hiatus of nearly ten years, since Vallavan (2006).[13] Silambarasan then decided to revive his shelved project Kettavan.[14] The project was expected to take place in July 2017,[15] with shooting being held at Mumbai and the United States,[16] but failed to materialise then.[17]

Development

In June 2018, producer Suresh Kamatchi of V House Productions,[18] officially confirmed their next venture with Silambarsan and Venkat Prabhu.[19][20] The project was not considered to be the third instalment of Billa but another fresh script written by Prabhu;[21] though it was rumoured to be a gangster film, it was later revealed to be an action-thriller instead.[22][23] On 9 July 2018, Venkat Prabhu announced the title of the film as Maanadu,[24][25] with a poster release, revealing that the film will be based on political backdrop.[26][27] Venkat Prabhu added that the film would be a political thriller, his first attempt at the genre.[28] The film, however, uses this as a subplot for the film whilst the story revolves around time loop, a first-of-a-kind in Tamil and Indian cinema.[29][30]

Despite few developments in the project, in August 2019, Suresh Kamatchi announced that he had ousted Silambarasan from the film citing the actor's failure to commit to dates properly, although the film had undergone pre-production work for close to a year before Silambarasan's exit.[31] The producer claimed that the film will go on production with another actor in the lead role, while Silambarasan later chose to launch another new project titled Maghaa Maanaadu immediately after his removal from Maanaadu.[32][33] Suresh Kamatchi, along with several other producers came forward with an official complaint to the Tamil Film Producers Council about Silambarasan's poor punctuality during the same month.[34][35] In November 2019, the producers announced that Silambarasan would come back to the project after sorting out the issues,[36] and the project was expected to be re-launched.[37][38]

Casting

With the film's cast and crew not being announced yet, it was rumoured that A. R. Rahman was being approached to compose the music and P. C. Sreeram being hired as the cinematographer.[39] In January 2019, Raashi Khanna, was in talks to play the female lead,[40] however Kalyani Priyadarshan, who paired up with Sivakarthikeyan in Hero (2019), was later cast.[41][42] In June 2019, Yuvan Shankar Raja, who is known for his successful collaborations with Silambarasan and Venkat Prabhu, signed in as the composer.[43]

It was reported that Kannada actor Sudeep will play the antagonist role in Maanadu,[44] however the actor refuted his claims.[45] In January 2020, the makers announced the complete cast and crew, which includes S. A. Chandrasekhar, Bharathiraja, Premgi Amaren and Karunakaran,[46] along with cinematographer Richard M. Nathan, editor Praveen K. L., action director Stunt Silva and costume designer Vasuki Bhaskar, being a part of the project.[47] Furthermore, the team also included S. J. Suryah,[48] Manoj Bharathiraja, Daniel Annie Pope and Y. G. Mahendran, to the film's cast.[49][50] Silambarasan was reported to play a Muslim in the film,[51] whose character name was revealed as "Abdul Khaaliq" with a poster release on Silambarasan's birthday, 3 February 2020. It is a reference to Abdul Haliq, the legal name of Yuvan Shankar Raja following his conversion to Islam in 2014.[52][53] Badava Gopi joined the film's sets during the filming schedule in Pondicherry on November 2020.[54]

Filming

Principal photography commenced on 19 February 2020 with a customary pooja ceremony being held on Chennai,[55] where the team planned to few scenes in the venue and move to Hyderabad for a 40-day schedule.[56][57] Following the accident held on the sets of Indian 2, the producer Suresh Kamatchi had assured an insurance of ₹30 crores to the film's cast and crew,[58][59] also ensuring the safety of the workers on the film sets.[60] On 27 February 2020, the team moved to VGP Golden Beach at Chennai,[61] for a song shoot featuring Silambarasan which was choreographed by Raju Sundaram, was being filmed at a huge set with around 200 dancers from Mumbai and Bangalore.[62]

The team later moved to Ramoji Film City at Hyderabad on 11 March for the film's second schedule.[63][64] However, the film council in Hyderabad declined permission to shoot the film until 19 March for safety reasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic, thus the film's shooting being put on hold.[65] Later the shooting of the film resumed at Pondicherry on 9 November 2020,[66] with Silambarasan joining the sets post the completion of his film Eeswaran (2021).[67][68] The schedule took place for a month and was completed within 9 December 2020.[69] The team headed to Yercaud on 25 December 2020, to shoot major sequences without featuring Silambarasan.[70][71]

A huge set was erected at the EVP Film City in Chennai, resembling a political gathering, and several lead stars were part of this schedule.[72] The set works began in mid-February 2021 and took place for more than a month.[72] Venkat Prabhu revealed that it was a challenging one to shoot a sequence with lot of artistes involved during this pandemic situation.[73] He further added that the team planned to shoot this sequence in a quick time, citing the rise of COVID-19 infections in Chennai following the hot weather in the city.[74] The shooting of the schedule was wrapped up on 5 April 2021,[75] and then planned for another sequence to be filmed in Maldives airport, but was delayed further since the government had imposed ban on passengers from India arriving in the country due to surge in COVID-19 cases.[76] The team later shifted to Hosur Aerodrome on 6 July 2021 for the final schedule filming, and was completed on 9 July 2021.[77] The production team eventually planned to shoot the entire film in 85 days, but filming was completed within 68 days.[78]

Post-production

The post-production began in July 2021, soon after the completion of the film.[79] In September 2021, according to the producer Suresh Kamatchi's statement "more than 900 computer graphic shots had been used for a political gathering sequence, because of the difficulties faced while shooting the film with huge crowd due to pandemic restrictions".[80] Silambarasan started dubbing for the film in May 2021, earlier before the post-production works, with the dubbing took place in his home studio.[81][82] In mid-October 2021, Premgi Amaren completed dubbing for his portions for the film.[83] The following day, S. J. Suryah started dubbing for his portions in the film and completed within five days.[84] However, it was reported that Silambarasan refused to dub for the portions in the film, citing pending renumeration.[85] Suresh Kamatchi, assured Silambarasan to pay him ₹2 crore (US$230,000) as the remainder, which convinced the actor, and had completed dubbing for the remaining portions of his film, within a day.[85] Yuvan started re-recording for the film's music and score in August 2021, which was completed within early-October 2021.[86] The final copy of the film was submitted to the Central Board of Film Certification and was received U/A certificate (in concern of few action sequences) with a runtime of 147 minutes.[87][88]

Themes and influences

Following the official teaser, which released on Silambarasan's birthday (3 February 2021),[89] netizens and fans of the actor claimed uncanny comparisons have been made to that of the American film Tenet (2020), directed by Christopher Nolan, as the frames from the teaser had made the use of reverse editing, as it deals with reverse-time formula.[90][91] However, Venkat Prabhu refuted such claims saying that it has no connection to that film.[92] In the trailer, it was revealed that the film is based on a time loop concept (a common trope used in science-fiction films), where two characters were forced to repeat the same day after an unfortunate incident.[93] It is the first Indian film to deal with the concept of time loop,[94] The storyline had resemblance to the Korean-language film A Day (2017). It's producer sued the makers citing alleged plagiarism of the film's plot and not obtaining copyrights from them.[95]

The film's soundtrack is composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, after regularly collaborating with Venkat Prabhu and Silambarasan. Madhan Karky was brought in to pen lyrics for all the songs in the soundtrack album. Producer Suresh Kamatchi initially announced that the first single of the film would be released on 14 May 2021, during the occasion of Eid.[96] But due to the COVID-19 lockdown as well as the death of Venkat Prabhu's mother, the release had been postponed indefinitely,[97] and Suresh Kamatchi assured fans to co-operate and planned to release the single post-lockdown.[98] On 9 June 2021, Yuvan Shankar Raja tweeted that he bought the film's audio rights under his own label U1 Records and also announced that the single would be released on the occasion of World Music Day (21 June 2021).[99]

Two days before the single release the makers revealed the title of the song as "Meherezylaa" and featured vocals by Yuvan, Bhavatharini and Rizwan.[100] Yuvan revealed that the song would be "a perfect celebration song" since it place at a wedding ceremony.[101] The song was launched at the Twitter Spaces with the film's cast and crew being present.[102] M. Suganth of The Times of India called the song "peppy" and "catchy", praising Yuvan for the arrangements of the song influenced with Western and Arabic music styles, adding that "The tune is typical Yuvan, with catchy beats ensuring that you instantly get hooked to the number [...] It is hard to capture the impact and nuances of a song based on just a single listen, but on the whole, Meherezylaa is something that is new for Yuvan".[103]

On the film's promotional event, held on 3 November 2021 (prior to Diwali),[104][105] the makers released the full audio album along with the lyrical song "Voice of Unity", crooned by Silambarasan and Arivu, the latter also wrote lyrics for the track.[106] Suganth, in his another review for the publisher, stated that the song "is powerful in its crux as it delves into the topic of religious unity, secularism and the play of political powers".[107]

Release

Theatrical

Maanadu was earlier scheduled for a theatrical release on 14 May 2021 (Eid-al-Fitr)[108] but due to the extensive post-production activities the film's released was postponed to August 2021,[109] which was further delayed due to the COVID-19 restrictions.[110] On 11 September 2021, it was announced that the film would be released in five Indian languages on 4 November 2021, during Diwali.[111] Suresh Kamatchi said that "the extensive visual effects work delayed the post-production process, thereby resulting the film being scheduled for release on that date".[80]

However, in 18 October 2021, Kamatchi announced that the film will be postponed to 25 November 2021,[112] in order to ensure a wider release and large number of screens being provided for the film, thereby avoiding clash with Rajinikanth-starrer Annaatthe (2021), which also scheduled for release on the same day.[113][114] The decision was made to avoid losses for the stake holders involved, according to the producer Suresh Kamatchi.[113] Furthermore, the issues revolving over the film's copyrights and Silambarasan's refusal to dub for the film, citing his pending renumeration, were the reasons for the delay.[85][95] The film will be dubbed and released in Telugu, Kannada and Hindi versions as The Loop, while the Malayalam-dubbed version retained the same title as the original.[8]

Distribution

The Tamil Nadu theatrical rights were acquired by Subbiah Shanmugham of SSI Productions. Seyons International acquired the rights for distributing the film in countries such as United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, Australia and Africa. DMY Productions and BMN acquired the theatrical marketing rights in Malaysia and Sri Lanka regions. United India Exports purchased the distribution rights in Singapore and Gulf regions respectively.[115] For the Telugu-dubbed version of the film (initially titled Rewind, but was later changed to The Loop),[116] Allu Aravind's Geetha Arts had acquired the rights of the film to be presented in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana regions.[117][118] In mid-November, it was reported Great India Films will distribute the film in the United States.[119][120] The theatrical rights in Kerala, were purchased by Mukesh R. Mehta of E4 Entertainment.[121] AV Media Consultancy purchased the Karnataka theatrical rights,[122] while UFO Moviez acquired the distribution rights in North India.[123]

T. Rajendar and Usha Rajendar, Silambarasan's parents, filed a police complaint against the Tamil Film Producers Council for the film's postponement, over the issues revolving Anbanavan Asaradhavan Adangadhavan (2017).[124] It has been reported that one of the members from the council demanded Silambarasan to compensate the losses incurred by the film's producer Michael Rayappan after its failure, and they even tried to send death threats to the actor, if he releases the film without refunding the dues.[125] They also warned that they might stage protests outside the office of Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, M. K. Stalin, if the perpetuators stop the film's release.[126][127]

At the pre-release event held on 18 November 2021,[105] Silambarasan gave an emotional speech referring to his controversies concerning both his personal and professional life, as many producers in the past few months, have filed complaints against the actor at the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce over multiple issues.[128] In the event, he said that "I've faced a lot of problems in the past few months. But, I will take care of them. You guys [fans] should take care of me."[129][130]

Home media

The post-theatrical streaming rights of the film's Tamil version was bought by Amazon Prime Video.[131] Geetha Arts, which purchased the distribution rights of the Telugu version, also acquired the digital rights through Aha.[118][132]
