Mundasupatti
Mundasupatti (transl. Turban village) is a 2014 Indian Tamil-language historical comedy film written and directed by Ram Kumar, and produced by C. V. Kumar under his banner Thirukumaran Entertainment and Fox Star Studios. It stars Vishnu Vishal and Nandita Swetha, with Anandaraj, Kaali Venkat and Ramdoss (later known as Munishkanth) in supporting roles. The film is set in 1982 in a village where people believe bad luck will befall them if they are photographed. The story illustrates what happens when two photographers visit the village.
Mundasupatti is based on the eponymous short film Ram Kumar directed in 2011 for the reality series Naalaya Iyakkunar. Principal photography commenced in August 2013 and ended by October 2013, taking place primarily in Sakkimangalam. The technical crew includes composer Sean Roldan, cinematographer P. V. Shankar and editor Leo John Paul.
Mundasupatti released on 13 June 2014. The film received a positive critical response and became a box office success. It received two nominations at the 62nd Filmfare Awards South: Best Film – Tamil and Best Director – Tamil.
In 1982, Gopi, a Sathyamangalam-based photographer, and his assistant Azhagumani arrive at a remote village called Mundasupatti on an assignment. The natives of this village are superstitious; they fear getting photographed, believing it will lead to death.
Ram Kumar had shot about 10 short films for the reality series Naalaya Iyakkunar, including Mundasupatti (2011). When Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi (2012), based on a short film released, he said he was inspired to make his own film. He took a year off to work on the script and to select his actors. He called it a challenge to convert the script for a short film into a full-length one and stated that he had added new characters for the feature film version. The film was jointly produced by C. V. Kumar of Thirukumaran Entertainment and Fox Star Studios as part of a two-film deal announced in early August 2013. Cinematography was handled by P. V. Shankar, and editing by Leo John Paul.
Vishnu Vishal was cast in the lead role, as the director wanted "someone who is funny, but very subtly so". Vishal, who had till then mainly played characters that were emotional, felt it was "very refreshing" to attempt a full-length comedy role, and added that "for the first time, I could relate to my character". Nandita Swetha was signed as the lead actress, as Ram wanted "someone who is dusky" for the role, adding that he was impressed by her performance in Attakathi (2012). Kaali Venkat, who had been part of the original short film, played the assistant to Vishal's character.
Ramdoss, previously seen in small roles, was given the role of Munishkanth, an aspiring actor; according to him, the role gave him "a lot of scope for acting". Ramdoss previously voiced the character in the short film because the actor who played Munishkanth was unable to commit to dubbing; after the feature film's release, "Munishkanth" became Ramdoss's stage name. Principal photography began on 28 August 2013, and wrapped by October 2013. The film was shot in a single schedule lasting 57 working days. Filming took place primarily in Sakkimangalam, which has houses that are over 100 years old.
The film's soundtrack was composed by Sean Roldan. The lyrics for all the songs were written by Muthamil, except one which was written by GKB. It was the first film project he had signed on, although two of his soundtrack albums were released before Mundasupatti. Since, the film is set in the 1980s, the music had to replicate the feel of that particular era. The score was recorded and mastered at the Studios 301 in Sydney, with Steve Smart as the mastering engineer. The soundtrack rights were purchased by Think Music. The album was launched on 9 May 2014 at Suryan FM, Chennai.
