Actor
Vishnu
Manchu
is
gearing
up
to
release
his
much-awaited
movie
Anukshanam,
which
is
slated
to
hit
the
screens
on
September
13.
The
actor-cum-producer
says
that
it
is
the
first
authentic
serial
killer
movie
in
India
and
director
Ram
Gopal
Varma
(RGV)
has
done
lot
of
research
on
many
psycho
killers
before
he
started
writing
the
script.
The
film
is
going
to
be
a
treat
for
hardcore
action
lovers.
In
an
interview
to
Rediff,
Vishnu
Manchu
revealed
that
the
idea
for
Anukshanam
emerged,
while
he
was
shooting
for
Rowdy
with
Ram
Gopal
Varma.
He
said,
"Mr
Ramu
did
a
lot
of
research
on
serial
killers.
Based
on
that,
he
wrote
the
story.
He
has
taken
the
history
of
serial
killers
all
across
the
world.
He
looks
at
how
and
why
they
do
it,
without
a
motive.
He
has
made
the
film
with
all
these
angles."
Vishnu
Manchu
says
his
belief
in
the
story
and
RGV's
capabilities
made
him
produce
Anukshanam.
Talking
about
preparation
for
his
role,
he
said,
"I
play
the
cop
who
tracks
down
the
serial
killer.
I
didn't
prepare.
The
intensity
was
there
in
the
script.
It
was
really
taxing.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
I
was
tired.
I
had
to
have
this
scowl
and
frustrated
look
throughout
the
day.
RGV
doesn't
give
any
gap
between
takes,
so
it
was
pretty
intense."
When
quizzed
about
the
new
technology
used
in
Anukshanam,
Vishnu
Manchu
said,
"More
than
technology,
I
want
the
content
of
the
movie
to
speak.
When
the
film
releases,
we
will
talk
about
the
technology
-
what
kind
of
cameras
we
used
and
how
we
used
them." He
added,
"Hard
core
action
lovers
will
love
this
film.
This
is
the
first
authentic
serial
killer
movie
in
the
country.
There
have
been
on
and
off
serial
killer
films
where
you
have
songs,
comedy."
