Development

[edit]

"I was one of the jury members at the National awards committee that chose Dhanush as the best actor forAadukalam.His performance inAadukalammoved me. I was looking for a real person to carry this character. I needed to believe the character, his emotions and his journey. Who else but Dhanush could give me what I wanted? "

—Director Bharat Bala on approachingDhanush,who had won the58th National Film Award for Best Actorfor his performance inAadukalam.[6]

In early 2011, director Bharat Bala read about a 2008 incident involving three immigrant oil workers from India being kidnapped in theDarfurregion ofSudanand how they had managed to escape from post being hostages. While improvising his script, the director met the former hostages who were held for 21 days under captivity. In late September 2011, the director narrated the first half of the film script to actor Dhanush and he agreed play the character Maryan. During this time, the filmmaker was done with half of the screenplay. Following his casting in the film, actor Dhanush became involved in character and screenplay-related discussions that were carried on for six months.[6]In March 2012, the film and collaborations were officially announced.[14]After a lot of research, the director came up with the film title and stated it is the name of the character. InTamilit translates to "A man who never dies". As per the film script, it implies that the spirit of the man never dies.[6]

The director opined that the fishing community in southern India goes through terrible hardship and countries likeNigeria,Sudan,Libyaborrow them as hard labor. The character played by actor Dhanush is a physically strong, economically poor but simple man from a very remote village who was in need of a job and hence, this forms the outline of the film.[6]Parvathy was signed on to play a key role as character Maryan's love interest in the film.[15]The director was inspired by the 2008 French-Liberian filmJohnny Mad Dog,which starred a real-life group ofLURDchild soldiersand subsequently chose them as well as the cinematographer of that film,Marc Koninckx,to be a part ofMaryan.[6]

A press release from March 2013 along with a poster revealed the film's outline as "A young man is faced with adversity. Life deals him immense challenges, and forces him to struggle to thrive. But he does, nevertheless, fighting to survive by thriving on the sheer undying spirit of the human will to survive. Along his thrilling journey is a tryst with adventure, a smattering of drama and a gritty tale that shows the power of love in extreme circumstances. And that is the story ofMaryan."[16]In an interview withZee News,Bharatbala quoted, "Even though it (Maryan) is about the fight for survival, it deals with several other emotions such as love, separation and struggle. The story recounts a beautiful journey about the separation of the protagonist from his loved ones and his struggle to reunite ".[5]

Filming

[edit]

As the film's story takes place inSudanand inKanyakumari,India,[17]Bharatbala noted that filming had to take place in two contrasting terrains. The sandy rugged locations inAfricawere shot inLiberia,made to look like Sudan, and several other portions were shot in a month. Subsequent close-up scenes featuring supporting cast members from Africa were filmed in India. The first schedule of the film began inNamibia,with scenes including a fight sequence supervised by Dilip Subarayan, being canned.[18]The song "Nenje Ezhu" was shot inNamibia's Coastal Desertsfeaturing the leading duo.[19]Dhanush also shared screen space with acheetah.[20]

The final schedule of the film started inNagercoil,Tamil Naduin November 2012 and filming took place over a couple of months throughout the coastal region of South India.[21]Filming was also held inMandaikadapudurvillage close toKanyakumari,India, named as Neerodi in the film.[22]The entire film was shot in reverse with the climax scenes being filmed first and hence the last scene shot was the beginning scene of the film.[23]Dhanush underwent a special ocean diving course, to swim up to 50 feet underwater.[24]Bharat Bala said that Dhanush would jump with the diving suit, go deep, settle down and get rid of the suit and then surge for the actual shot.[5]Dhanush had two underwater support divers to supply him air during the underwater scenes. The underwater scenes were filmed inAndamans.[8]Certain arid land scenes were also shot atRann of KutchinGujarat.

The film incorporates firmBarco NV'sAuro 11.1surround sound technology. The re-recording in theAuroformat was done at composerA R Rahman'sAM Studiosmaking it the first Tamil film to mix native sounds in the format.[9]Bharatbala claimed, one would find three different contrasting uses of the Auro 3D sound in the film. First, in the fishing village and the feel of the ocean surface, then deep into the desert and the sonic sounds and textures of the ocean, 50–55 feet under the water.[25]He revealed throughTwitterthat the film'sdigital intermediateworks were completed by 9 July 2013. Scenes during the making of the movie were placed with the end credits of the film.[26]
