Atharvaa Murali has tonsured his head for his upcoming release Boomerang directed by Kannan.
“The entire industry knows about Atharvaa being a director’s actor. But that didn’t let me open up my request on tonsuring his head. How fair it would be to ask an actor whose calendar is laden with back to back projects? Eventually, as I explained to him the depth and intensity of three different looks, Atharvaa became more adhered to it. In fact, even when I was filled up with some reluctance, he just gave a staunch surprise of instantly going for it,” opens up filmmaker Kannan.
Furthermore, the ‘Boomerang’ filmmaker adds that one among these looks has been designed by Preetisheel Singh and Mark Troy D’Souza. “As, I have already spoken about it, Atharvaa had to spend hours and hours for this prosthetic makeup process. Having gone through such a wringing process, any actor would love to just sprawl out and relax, but he instantly leaped up to tonsure his head for a specific episode in the film. We decided to shoot this portion by the final schedule, which happened for 5 days at a private hospital in Chennai. But the greatest part is Atharvaa sacrificing two months of busy phase waiting for his hair to grow so that he could resume other projects. But I am sure the audience will offer him the best credits for unleashing such high potentials as an actor after his recent attempt with Imaikkaa Nodigal,” tots up Kannan.
Boomerang is directed and produced by Kannan for Masala Pix featuring Megha Akash, Induja, Upen Patel, Suhasini Maniratnam, RJ Balaji, Satish and many more familiar actors in the star-cast. Radan of Arjun Reddy fame has composed music for this film with Prasanna Kumar as the cinematographer and Selva RK on editing.
