The
next
Thaandavam
press
meet
will
be
graced
by
someone
special
to
the
film
unit
from
the
US.
Well,
if
you
have
followed
the
news
related
to
the
movie,
you
may
have
guessed
it
right.
Yes,
it
is
none
other
than
Daniel
Kish,
who
inspired
one
of
the
characters
of
Vikram
in
Thaandavam.
Daniel
Kish
will
be
arriving
to
Chennai
to
attend
the
press
meet
tomorrow
(September
12).
Announcing
the
news,
Dhananjayan
Govind,
UTV
South
Chief,
tweeted,
"Daniel
Kish,
an
inspiration
for
one
of
Chiyaan's
character
in
#Thaandavam
will
be
in
Chennai
tomorrow
for
a
press
meet.
Chiyaan
will
attend."
Kish
is
known
as
a
real-life
Batman.
He
became
blind
when
he
was
13-months-old
but
that
did
not
distract
him
from
leading
a
normal
life.
He
used
reflected
sound
waves
to
build
a
mental
picture
of
his
surroundings
which
is
called
as
a
form
of
human
echolocation.
Now,
he
is
running
a
non-profit
organisation
named
World
Access
for
the
Blind
to
train
other
blind
people.
However,
in
the
forthcoming
movie,
Vikram
plays
a
blind
person
but
he
is
gifted
with
human
echolocation
to
detect
objects
in
his
environment.
This
character
of
the
Chiyaan
is
inspired
by
Kish.
Hence,
the
makers
of
the
film
have
invited
him.
Thaandavam
is
directed
by
AL
Vijay
and
produced
by
UTV
Motion
Pictures.
It
also
features
Anushka
Shetty,
Amy
Jackson
and
Jagapathi
Babu
in
the
key
roles.
