While
the
first
schedule
of
Japanese
film
Nair
San
(starring
Malayalam
superstar
Mohanlal
and
Hong
Kong
super
hero
Jackie
Chan)
is
all
set
to
start
in
the
first
week
of
September,
Mohanlal
is
in
fact
a
little
worried
about
this
project.
What
is
the
reason
for
his
worry?
The
reason
is
that
he
needs
to
quickly
learn
two
foreign
languages:
Japanese
and
Chinese.
"I
have
to
dub
the
film
and
speak
in
Japanese
and
Chinese.
I
have
to
learn
the
languages," said
this
two-time
National
Award
winning
actor,
who
is
now
busy
learning
these
two
foreign
languages!
It
is
not
that
easy
for
a
South
Indian
to
learn
them
and
dub.
Many
people
comment
that
Chinese
and
Japanese
are
among
the
hardest
languages
in
the
world.
However,
some
people
can
learn
languages
naturally
and
easily
without
much
effort,
while
others
find
it
very
difficult,
since
a
person's
natural
aptitude
is
an
important
factor
in
learning
a
language.
Meanwhile,
talking
about
Nair
San,
the
true
story
of
Indian
freedom
fighter
Ayyapan
Pillai
Madhavan
Nair
popularly
known
as
Nair
San
in
Japan,
Mohanlal
said
he
personally
knew
Nair
San,
who
had
later
opened
a
restaurant
chain
by
the
same
name
in
Japan.
"I
know
that
person.
I
have
met
him
and
I
have
been
to
his
restaurants
in
Japan
also,
long
back
-
I
am
talking
about
23
years
back,"
he
said.
He
also
confirmed
that
martial
arts
hero
Jackie
Chan
has
a
cameo
role,
which
will
be
directed
by
noted
Malayali
director
Albert.
"It
is
160
days
of
shooting
for
me.
The
film
will
cover
the
life
of
Nair
San
from
age
35
till
his
death.
Maybe
he
was
the
first
person
in
the
world
to
conduct
a
student
agitation
against
the
British.
He
fought
against
the
British
from
Japan.
Later,
the
Japanese
government
presented
him
with
the
title
'San',"
Mohanlal
said.
Mohanlal
is
very
excited
about
his
upcoming
project
Kurukshetra
to
be
released
on
October
2.
"It
is
about
the
Kargil
war,
how
it
happened
and
how
it
ended.
We
shot
in
real
locations
like
Kargil
and
Drass."
However,
he
clarified
that
the
film
was
not
a
sequel
to
the
earlier
fast-paced
action
thriller
Keertichakra.
