How would one feel when you go overseas, get authorization with difficulty to shoot in certain locations, spend several lakhs on shooting and then discover that the film rolls with these scenes are missing?That would give anyone a foreboding! This is exactly what happened to the 'Vaaranam Ayiram' unit.
Oscar Films is producing 'Vaaranam Ayiram' at a enormous budget. The shooting is taking place at the US now. Director Gautham Vasudeva Manon acquired permission with difficulty for certain locations and shot scenes of Surya and Sameera Reddy and a song. Grand sets were also put up for these scenes. Two production managers traveled to Chennai with these rolls, but had to stay a day in Singapore on the way back. On arriving in Chennai they found the box with the film rolls missing.
When enquiring with the airlines, the staff shrugged that no such box was loaded on the flight. The box was not to be found at the hotel they stayed in Singapore either. This devastated the managers. opportunely they just received sweet news that the box was safe at the Singapore airport. That's like heaven regained. It's also the dream regained of so many million viewers!.
