Maryan ([The Man Who Never Dies] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)[2][3]) is an upcoming Tamil drama thriller film directed by Bharat Bala. The film stars actor Dhanush in the lead role with Parvathi Menon as the lead actress.[4] Produced by Venu Ravichandran, the film has music and background score composed by A. R. Rahman[5] and cinematography by Marc Koninckx.[6] The film revolves around a story of human survival adapted from a newspaper article of a real-life crisis event, when three oil workers from India were kidnapped and taken hostage in Sudan by mercenaries.[1] The film is an emotional journey of a common man to an unknown place with the hope to come home and lead a better life.[3]

Production

Development

"I was one of the jury members at the National awards committee that chose Dhanush as the best actor for Aadukalam. His performance in Aadukalam moved 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 approaching Dhanush, who had won 58th National Film Award for Best Actor for his performance in Aadukalam.[2]

In early 2011, director Bharat Bala read about a 2008 incident involving three immigrant oil workers from India being kidnapped in the Darfur region of Sudan and 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 film maker was done with half of the screenplay. Post his casting in the film, actor Dhanush got involved in character and screenplay related discussions that were carried on for six months.[2] In March 2012, the film and collaborations were officially announced.[7] After a lot of research, the director came up with the film title and stated it is the name of the character. In Tamil it translates to "A man who never dies". As per the film script, it implies that the spirit of the man never dies.[2]

The director opined that the fishing community in southern India goes through terrible hardship and countries like Nigeria, Sudan, Libya borrow them as hard labor. The character played by actor Dhanush is of a simple, economically poor but physically strong guy from a very remote village who was in need of a job and hence, this forms the outline of the film.[2] Parvathi Menon was signed on to play a key role as well as character Maryan's love interest in the film.[8] In an interview to Times of India, Parvathi described her role as unusual and multi-layered, "Female characters usually figure in a movie just as a way of furthering a love story. But my character, Panimalar, is different and that's what attracted me to the role. She plays a love interest but also has so many other layers to her."[9] The director was inspired by the 2008 French-Liberian film Johnny Mad Dog, which starred a real life group of LURD child soldiers and subsequently chose to retain them as well as the cinematographer of that film, Marc Koninckx, both to be a part of Maryan.[2]

A press release of 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 of Maryan."[10] In an interview with Zee 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."[3]

Filming

The film's story takes place in Sudan and in Kanyakumari,[11] India and thus, Bharat Bala noted that filming had to take place in two contrasting terrains. The sandy rugged locations in Africa were shot in Liberia, doubling up to be 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 in Namibia, with scenes including a fight sequence supervised by Dilip Subarayan, being canned.[12] The final schedule of the film started in Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu in November 2012 and was shot for a couple of months throughout the coastal region of South India.[11] Uniquely, the entire film was shot in reverse with the climax scenes being canned first and hence the last scene shot was the beginning scene of the film.[13] This was done to maintain continuity in Dhanush's appearance in the African schedule portions of the film. Dhanush underwent a special ocean diving course to swim up to 50 feet underwater.[14]

Marketing

The first official poster of the film was launched on 28 March 2013.[15] A thirty second teaser featuring the lead actor only was released on 29 March 2013.[16] On 31 March 2013, another forty second teaser with a musical score was released that showed the actor with a spear in his hand, diving into deep sea in a breath and hunting on the seabed. The shot was filmed in Andamans, 50 feet below the ocean.[17][18] Later, the director revealed that for several such underwater scenes, the actor took classes for ocean diving. He had jumped 40 to 50 feet deep underwater with the diving suit, settled down, got rid of the suit and then surged for the actual shot.[3] The third teaser of thirty seconds was released on 4 April 2013. It depicted the actor combating and smoking.[19] The teaser of the song Nenje Yaezhu was released on 26 April 2013.[20] On being the first song teaser of the film soundtrack album it crossed over three lac views on YouTube in less than two days.[21] A. R. Rahman extended an invitation through YouTube for the Nenju Yaezhu song premier on 3 May 2013.[22]

Trailer

On 30 April 2013, actor Dhanush announced through YouTube that the trailer will release very next day. The trailer of three minutes was released on 1 May 2013 at 1800 hrs IST. Apparently, the release date marks Labour Day, partially analogous to the theme on which the film is based.[23] After the trailer received a response of nearly seven lac views during one day at Sony India's music channel, it was re-released as an upgraded Vevo version.[24]

Music

Untitled

By early May 2012, composer A. R. Rahman had finished composing two songs which were filmed in Africa.[25] As per reports of 18 August 2012, a visually scintillating yet emotional song named "Nenjae Ezhu" crooned by the music composer himself, was finalized after being shot in one of the oldest off coastal deserts of the world featuring the leading duo.[26][27] The lyricist Kutti Revathi was brought on board two and a half years ago for the song by the film’s director. On penning the lyrics for "Nenjae Ezhu" she quoted, "Both of them (Bharat Bala & A.R. Rahman) were very clear that it should be a meaningful song. If the song needed two verses, I wrote eight, and Rahman was able to pick the lines that would work. Neither of them wanted words that we have all already heard." She added that the song being about a survivor, conveys young people a positive message and reflects love, separation, struggle, survival and finally, arising. Additionally, the words also appeared in the promos of song "Nenjae Ezhu".[28] In the end of January 2013, singer Velmurugan had recorded a song for the background score of the film.[29] The first teaser of the film made it evident that the audio rights were bagged by Sony Music.[16] In an interview with Times of India, the film director claimed that the track "Kadal Raasa Naan" was already recorded but Rahman insisted on re-recording it with a singer who could impart more emotions with an earthy voice to the song and opted for Yuvan Shankar Raja. The song is claimed as a rustic yet character driven song.[30][31] The song was re-recorded on 25 April 2013 in Chennai during the wee hours.[30] Rahman, in an interview with The Hindu claimed the song was mixed at four in the morning, and the mastering engineer left at six.[32] The online pre-booking of the soundtrack album opened up on Flipkart on May 2, 2013 and it revealed only names of all the seven tracks.[33] Reportedly, the complete soundtrack album was supposed to release on 23 April 2013[19][34][30] but was re-scheduled to May 13, 2013.[35] It will also have a mastered for iTunes version release.[36]

The track "Nenjae Ezhu" was released as a single on 3 May 2013.[20] It was aired first on Radio Mirchi stations of Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai and Kerala at 0900 hrs IST.

Controversies

After the release of the third teaser that showed the actor smoking.[19] There was a promotional film poster release that rendered the the same activity.[38] The former Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare of India, Anbumani Ramadoss criticized the smoking scenes in the film. He claimed that the scenes prioritize smoking in the movie and hence it is a punishable offense to appear smoking in cinemas. Following this, reports claimed that the actor was in discussions with the director for the removal of such contents from the film.[39]
