Prithviraj-starrer ‘I, Nobody’ makers get John Doe order to prevent piracy
Chennai, July 9 (IANS) The makers of director Nissam Basheer’s eagerly awaited Malayalam film ‘I, Nobody’, featuring actor Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead, have now obtained a John Doe (Ashok Kumar ) order from the Hon’ble Madras High Court to prevent piracy and unauthorised distribution of the film.
Sources close to the unit of the film pointed out that the order restrained illegal recording, uploading, sharing, streaming, and circulation of the film, its trailers, songs, and promotional content through any platform.
Sources further added that the makers had warned that strict civil and criminal action would be initiated against anyone involved in piracy and that the makers had urged the public to support and report any unauthorised content related to the film being shared.
A teaser which the makers released recently has added to the excitement of fans and film buffs.
The teaser that was released begins with a voice over that explains the food chain to a person called Rajeevan. “Have you learnt about the food chain in school? You might have forgotten it. Let me explain it in a simple fashion for you. The grasshopper, which eats grass, gets eaten by the frog, which in turn gets eaten by the snake, which in turn is eaten by the eagle. They say when the eagle dies, it returns to the grass. Our society too is almost like this food chain. However, there is a small difference. To survive in this society, that grasshopper must not only eat grass, it must also eat the frog. Only you will have to decide whose heads you must consume.”
Even as this voice over is played, we are shown a series of action sequences from the film. The teaser finally ends with cops knocking on the door of Prithviraj Sukumaran and asking him why he was not picking up his calls.
The film has already been cleared for release by the Censor Board with a U/A certificate.
The film, which is among the most eagerly awaited films of the year, is to hit screens on Thursday.
For the unaware, work on the film began with a formal pooja at Wellington Island in Ernakulam in Kerala in April last year.
The much-anticipated film, will apart from Prithviraj Sukumaran, also feature actors Parvathy Thiruvothu, and Hakim Shajahan in pivotal roles.
Directed by the acclaimed Nissam Basheer and penned by Sameer Abdul, the film has been jointly produced by Supriya Menon, Mukesh Mehta, and C V Sarathi under the prestigious banners of Prithviraj Productions and E4 Experiments.
Sources close to the unit of the film say that ‘Nobody’ will seek to be a compelling cinematic experience, blending intensity, emotion, and power-packed performances.
Sources also inform that apart from the lead actors, the film will also feature a number of gifted actors in important roles such as Ashokan, Madhupal, Lukman Avaran, Ganapathi and Vinay Fort.
On the technical front, the film has cinematography by Dinesh Purushothaman. Costumes for the film have been designed by Dhanya Balakrishnan and makeup is by Ronnex Xavier.
Harris Desom has served as the Executive Producer of this film, which has production designs by Gokul Das. Rinny Divakar has taken charge as the production controller of this film.
