On the titke Kallan, Chandra says, ‘
The title is the most suitable for the script. It’s a commercial crime action and does not represent any particular social group or caste. A man who is born in a family of hunting culture is been commanded to stop hunting and the poverty drives him to a series of chaos that involves crime. He does this as a survivor instict along with his group of friends and at a point the ethics has the best judgment for their trivial life.’
Hunting is been a part of every society through out the world. It’s a very close lifestyle that I had witnessed. It’s not just a story about people living standards but also a one that questions and believes in morals of life. It’s a commercial film and at the same time the characters will definitely make an impact to the audience. Especially the two women characters will be acknowledged well. The movie has hunting scenes. It’s been projected very close to the reality with the help of graphics and that’s the reason for the delay, she adds.
There isn’t any scenes or symbols that point out any particular caste. We are not planning to change the title because of any social threats. This is been explained to the threatening people and can be understood when they watch the movie. If there is any move from Court or Censor board; we are open to change the title but other than that no threats can push us down, she said.
Whenever there is a news update about Kallan, we received threats to change the title. This title is been set with the meaning of Thief. It does not refer to any caste. If they watch the movie can understand, she adds.
