What's Happening?
Vimal Krishna, known for his work on the Telugu-language film 'DJ Tillu,' has completed a significant shooting schedule in Kashmir for his upcoming film 'Anumana Pakshi.' This project is an India-Indonesia co-production, featuring Rag Mayur and Merin Philip in lead roles. The film is produced by Chilaka Productions and Spectrum Films, with Rajiv Chilaka, Rajesh Jagtiani, and Hirachand Dand as producers, and Bharath Laxmipati as co-producer. The Kashmir shoot, which took place in Pahalgam and Srinagar, marks a notable milestone as it is the first film to shoot in the region following a recent tragedy. The production adhered to security protocols under the guidance of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). The Kashmir schedule accounts for approximately
80% of the film's completion, with further shooting planned for late November.
Why It's Important?
The completion of the Kashmir shoot for 'Anumana Pakshi' is significant as it represents a collaborative effort between Indian and Indonesian film industries, potentially strengthening cultural ties and expanding market reach. The film's production in Kashmir, a region with a complex socio-political landscape, highlights the area's potential as a viable location for international film projects. This could encourage more filmmakers to consider Kashmir for future projects, boosting local economies and tourism. Additionally, the involvement of Rajiv Chilaka, known for creating the popular animation character 'Chhota Bheem,' adds a layer of interest and credibility to the project, potentially attracting a wider audience.
What's Next?
The next phase of shooting for 'Anumana Pakshi' is scheduled for late November, which will further advance the film towards completion. As the production progresses, stakeholders in the film industry may closely monitor its development, considering the implications of shooting in Kashmir. The film's release could pave the way for more international collaborations and influence future projects in the region. Additionally, the ongoing participation of Chilaka in the WAVES Film Bazaar at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa may provide further opportunities for networking and promotion.
