With
an
international
crew
comprising
of
Emmy
Award-winning
musician
John
Altman
and
other
technicians
from
Hollywood,
the
upcoming
Mohanlal
starrer
Aakashagopuram
seems
poised
for
a
much-needed
change
in
the
Malayalam
film
industry,
in
terms
of
treatment
of
subject,
language
and
a
whole
new
way
of
marketing
films!
will
be
something
unheard-of
in
Kerala's
film
industry.
National
award-winning
director
K.P.
Kumaran
said
that
this
classic
film
needed
realistic
background
to
support
the
script.
"This
project,
I
feel,
is
an
effort
to
break
away
from
conventional
storylines
that
are
usually
set
in
Kerala's
villages
or
fast-paced
action
flicks.
It
is
for
the
first
time
that
an
Indian
film
has
been
shot
entirely
in
London.
Conceiving
and
executing
such
a
project
is
rare.
It
may
be
taken
as
an
effort
to
attempt
to
expose
the
film
to
a
wider
audience," he
said.
Subtitled
in
English,
the
film
is
slated
for
simultaneous
releases
in
Delhi,
Mumbai,
Bangalore,
Hyderabad
and
Coimbatore
on
August
22.
Aimed
at
the
large
NRI
community,
the
film
will
also
be
released
in
Dubai
and
North
America.
It
will
be
another
milestone
in
Mohanlal's
career
as
he
plays
Albert
Samson,
an
English
architect
in
the
film.
Aakashagopuram
is
based
on
the
classic
"Master
Builder"
by
the
famous
Norwegian
playwright
Henrik
Johan
Ibsen.
