Thiagarajan Kumararaja’s Aaranya Kaandam has added another feather to its cap. The film, a gangster flick, has won the audience award at the London Indian Film Festival.
Commenting on the honour, the film’s producer S. P. Charan said, “I feel humbled and delighted at the honour though I wish the film had done well in theatres here and that audiences here had liked it as much as those in the U.S. and the U.K.”
The film, which was cleared for release by the Censor Board only after almost 62 cuts were effected, is likely to participate in two other international festivals.
Says Charan: “Aaranya Kaandam will feature in the Copenhagen Film Festival and the East End Film Festival in London.” He also says they are open to the idea of remaking it in another language. “If we choose to remake it, it will be in Hindi.”
