The Necklace is almost done!

In fact the last couple of weeks have been the busiest days of my career! 25 days after release of Spanish Masala I was shooting for Diamond Necklace in Dubai! In Dubai the film completed 40 days of shoot, and it has been conducted with maximum professional zeal! Second schedule of the shooting started on April first at Thrissur, Pollachi, Palakkad and wound up successfully. Dubbing is being done at Vismaya studio owned by Mohanlal.

After coming from Dubai, this time along with the film work, I was supposed to part take in two important weddings in the family, shooting of Cinema Karyangal and kept feeling for sure that I needed more than 24 hours for any day!

The film, Diamond Necklace, to be released on May 4, is a love story; no, three stories! Three levels of life situations that connect protagonist Arun Kumar with three women. This movie will have one of the most beautiful messages among all my films-`those who fail to practice financial discipline are bound to lose virtues and values’. The film has a strong emotional content. While keeping the dialogue on about man-woman relationships, it touches sublimely on greed, extravagance, squandering and consideration for the need of discipline, particularly of financial nature.

The promotion is in full swing. Teaser, trailer, songs and posters are released. Dear ones, please uphold `Diamond Necklace’ in your networks and watch it on the very first day of the release.

With love,

Diamond Necklace in Shamaal!

Dear friends,

I told that I shall come to you with more updates on Diamond Necklace. Well, here I am, as promised!

First, some details about the Pooja and shoot. Pooja was held at Dubai on February 13, 2012 in presence of Dr Iqbal Kuttippuram, (who has done the scripting) and team . There were many guests including UAE nationals at the occasion, and I thank them. Samir Tahir did the  first shot featuring Samvritha Sunil, who is one of the heroines of the  ‘Diamond Necklace.’ After three days of busy shoot, the crew went outdoor. About 90% of the film will be shot in Dubai, and the rest in Kerala. As I have already mentioned,  Gauthami, Anushree, Rohini, Sreenivasan and Jagathi Sreekumar also do important roles in Diamond Necklace .

Now, let me share some unforgettable moments during shoot.

when we went outdoor, we were at the eye of a storm!! The unexpected ‘Shamaal’ (desert wind), made our task difficult and we doubted whether we could complete the shoot in time. Anyway, despite the sandstorm that fanned desert dust and sand across the city, we continued shooting, and did some important outdoor shots that are crucial to the movie. The production crew struggled a lot to safeguard the equipment.Fahad Fazil and Samvritha Sunil, who were also at the receiving end of the Shamaal, took `the Nature’s freak session’ in good stride!

Shooting for the movie is progressing in Dubai. ‘Diamond Necklace’ is slated for release in May 2012.

Diamond Necklace

Dear friends,

The shooting of my film ‘Diamond Necklace’ began on February 13. Usually, after a film release, it takes some more time to start the next film. But shooting of Diamond Necklace started immediately after the release of ‘Spanish Masala’. This film has a specialty. My production house `LJ films’ is venturing out to the Malayalam film industry through this film. LJ films is the distributor of ‘Diamond Necklace’ produced by Anitha productions. Apologies for informing the shooting date this late, as I got busy. But please don’t hold back your prayers and blessings. Dr.Iqbal Kuttippuram has written the script. Fahad Fazil is the protagonist of this film. The film has three young actresses- Samvrutha Sunil, Gauthami(second show fame) , Anushree( from ‘’Vivel Active fair Big Break’’, Surya TV) in main roles. Sreenivasan, Jagathy Sreekumar, and Rohini adorn other roles.

More from the location soon….
Take care and Love,
LJ
