Jango billed as India’s first time-loop sci-fi movie, will hit screens 19 November. Written and directed by Mano Karthikeyan, a former associate of director Arivazhagan and Ram Kumar, the film is being bankrolled by CV Kumar s Thirukumaran Entertainment and Zen Studios.
Mrinalini Ravi and Satheesh Kumar essay the lead roles in the action-thriller, and Ghibran has scored the music for the movie.
The shoot was completed before the second lockdown and the post-production work was done after life returned to normal post Covid 2.0, says producer CV Kumar.
The events of the particular day will keep repeating and they will be shown with a different screenplay, he adds.
‘In my film, a doctor wakes up one Monday and gets caught in a time loop. How he comes out is what the film is all about’, says the director.
The film, which is even difficult to conceptualise, was a challenge to shoot, he says.
Jango also has an ensemble of actors including Anitha Sampath, Hareesh Peradi, Velu Prabhakaran, Karunakaran, Ramesh Tilak and Daniel Anne Pope. Karthik K Thillai handles the cinematography for the film, San Lokesh takes care of the cuts.
