Shankar creates 'Little China' for 'I'

"I" is anticipated to be another high budget movie in Indian cinema with highly technical crew. Santhanam and Suresh Gopi are playing the prominent roles. Cinematography is handled by P.C.Sriram and Venu Ravichandran is producing this movie under Aascar films.

 Shankar has never been one who has been perturbed by size, location or budgets. For 'I', Shankar had scouted for some spectacular locations in China and also completed shooting some portions there in his first schedule.

But all was not roses for Shankar as he couldn't gain access to some parts of China where he planned the shoot. Despite making numerous efforts his request was declined by the local authorities. So director Shankar planned to recreate those parts of China across 150 acres in Kodaikanal to shoot those portions.

We are happy that the sequence has come out very well after the Maestro showed his full commitment in starring in the sequence.”
