Missing screenplay credits in the 'Karikalan' posters has brought about confusion as one wondered of who penned it for this Vikram's forthcoming period film and tinsel town birdies expressed that credits weren't given to the person who penned the screenplay!
It is now revealed by a leading daily that the entire script of the film was penned by Gandhi Krishna of 'Chellame' fame. Gandhi Krishna and Kannan met almost a year back and when Gandhi Krishna showed a one-liner script to Kannan, the latter was impressed and Gandhi Krishna went ahead with penning the synopsis. He also wrote the shooting script, meaning one with camera angles, locale information and other details.
Sources in the know further added that after working on the script for more than eight months, he gave the script to Kannan who is now filming it with Chiyaan Vikram.
Speaking on this Kannan expressed, "I'm a debutant director and just like any fresher, I consulted a senior director, Gandhi Krishna. Yes, he gave me some suggestions. But the story has been developed by me!"
'Karikalan' features Vikram, Zarine Khan, Mitra Kurien and Radhika Apte and is about a man who strived and built a dam, a unique venture back those days.
