'O Kadhal Kanmani' shot in sync sound
After Aayutha Ezhuthu, Mani Ratnam has used the sync sound technology for his upcoming film O Kadhal Kanmani. Sync sound is a technique in which all the real sounds including the actor’s dialogue delivery are recorded while filming itself and hence there is no need for dubbing
Films like Virumandi, Ghajini (Hindi) have also used the sync-sound technique in the past. The problem with sync sound is that the actors should know the language well; interestingly Dulquer Salmaan has impressed Mani Ratnam with his Tamil fluency.
In a recent FM interview, Mani Ratnam said "Dulquer is a fantastic actor, he is energetic and bonus is that he is a Madras Paiyan hence we shot the film with sync sound".
Mani Ratnam also said that Dulquer is way different from his father Mammootty and he got his unique style. "Throughout the entire shooting, the only time Dulquer reminded me of his dad is when he said 'Tara' ".
The maverick director also says he feels lucky for casting Nithya Menen in the film. Mani says "Only few times, on screen heroines look exactly similar to the character you wrote. Personally, I have experienced it only twice or thrice like Shalini did in Alaipayuthey".
Mani Ratnam says Nithya Menon's role in the film is bold and independent, good thing about her is she grasps things easily and brings so much life to the character".
On Alaipayuthey's resemblance with OK Kanmani, Mani Ratnam says "If you call it as Alaipayuthey -2, I won't deny it but the relationship set-up, characterizations and everything will be different".
