That Four Letter Word Version 1
This is the promo of the movie which we shot three years ago, shelved and reshot.
As a build-up to the launch of the trailer of the new version and the preview coming up in a few weeks, I will be going down the memory lane and maybe use the chance to thank all the people who have been responsible for giving shape to a very old dream.
The promos will feature one new video on the movie and the making of it every week and will end with the release of the trailer of the new movie and the dates of preview. We've been stuck at the post production level for quite a long while now because of technical difficulties. But we believe this too shall pass and we will have a movie on our hands soon.
Spread the word. This August, we hope we will give you a chance to celebrate life and friendship. Sign up for the preview to be held in a few weeks by leaving a comment with your email address.

Done
Yesterday was really special. Super special.
It marked the end of a journey that's taken over six years. I would like to believe I'm done shooting for That Four Letter Word.
Yes, yesterday was the last day of shoot. Now I think I have every bit of footage I need (of course given the constraints of budget) to finish the movie.
I wanted to post a long, elaborate thanksgiving note but I guess I'll save that for later. Too tired and maybe a little too early considering that we still need to finish the final cut of the edit and wrap up dubbing by the end of the month. Looks like I'll have a movie on my hands by mid-February. And once its done, I might have to write a bible if I were to mention every single person who has contributed to get us here. I hope to do that too post premiere.
For now, I got to get back to work on the movie.
Just wanted to share my relief and happiness at having completed the entire shoot, including patch work this time.
Finally! :)

Inching towards the final cut!
People!
We faced a lot more hurdles, both personal and financial in the last few months. But, have finally been able to complete a first rough cut last month.
We also had reason to cheer after Asif Bhai, our old music director agreed to do the background score and original soundtrack for the movie, unconditionally.
Over the last coupla weeks, he has prepared some really kick-ass scores.
And we're maha-inspired as we gear up for the final cut starting tomorrow.
From here on, things would hopefully move at a reasonable pace and we hope to have a movie in our hands by the end of the year and ready for release early next year, hopefully the Valentine's season. In any case, we'll arrange a special show for bloggers before that. :)
Also, we have booked an official site. It should be up by the end of next month.
Thanks for not giving up on us and for all those endless enquiries.
This is also to welcome my co-writer and best buddy Murugan back home. He has come back for good from the US. We wrote the script over email, if you remember.
Now, that he's around, we are gonna have a full-time executive producer to run around and get us some deals. Meanwhile, if you are aware of potential buyers and distributors, do drop us an email at madeinmadras[at]gmail[dot]com.

Thanks everyone!
Thanks for the wonderful words of encouragement and appreciation. The team is grateful for your support and wishes.
We hope to release it in August during Friendship Week in theatres equipped with digital projection systems. That would mean Sree in the Sathyam complex and Prasads in Hyderabad. We also have plans of an October or December release in the US.
But at the moment, we are having a little hiccups editing, because as that four letter word JINX would have it, our computer has crashed again and the editor is fighting hard to retrieve the data. If we lose it, we got to start editing all over again...
We are currently delayed by a fortnight, but we hope to catch up with the lost time soon.
Will keep you all posted. Thanks again.
