HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | DOWN SOUTH : MALAYALAM Mohanlal starrer 'Akashagopuram' set for pre-Onam release15th Aug 2008 11.00 IST By Agencies Mohanlal starrer Malayalam film Akashagopuram , the first in the south Indian language to be shot entirely in the UK with an international crew, is all set for global release on August 22. Adapted from Henrik Ibsen's classic play ‘The Master Builder’, the film by K P Kumaran with Mohanlal in the lead has been shot by cinematographer Santosh C Thundiyil and has music by John Altman, the man who scored for ‘Titanic’ and ‘Golden Eye’. 
"Almost all the Malayalees in the 1960s are familiar with Isben's work and can identify with the film. Very few of the new generation might have heard about the Norwegian playwright. As an actor I feel it is a blessing for me I feel honoured and lucky to be a part of this film," Mohanlal told reporters in New Delhi before a special screening of the film earlier this week. The movie, according to the producers, is also billed as the costliest ever in Malayalam. Set among the Indian immigrant community, ‘Akashagopuram’ tells the story of a middle-aged architect whose all-consuming desire for success makes him forget his real passion for architecture. "This project, I feel, is an attempt to break through existing conventions. It is for the first time that an Indian film has been shot entirely in London. Conceiving and executing such a project is rare. It may be taken as an effort to attempt to expose the film to a wider audience," national award-winning director Kumaran said.
