Film shooting on Ranganathan Street

Angadi Theru.

Roughly translated it means Market Street.

A new Tamil movie depicting the travails and lives of young boys and girls working in a department store on Ranganathan Street.

Ranganathan Street shown in the film was no set. And the shop shown in the film immediately reminds you of the famous Saravana Stores.

It is said that most of the film was shot with hidden cameras.

Also interesting to note is that the actors did their jobs in front of real customers and public without anyone noticing that a film was being shot.

In a certain sequence the lead actors were required to sell wares on Ranganathan Street in broad daylight. The actors, both new (the hero was a debutant the heroine was also only a film old) were asked to go to the middle of the street and enact it. They just had instructions to keep 'selling' until they were asked to wind up over mobile phones. No other sellers were aware that they were part of a film unit. In fact the actors themselves did not know where the cameras were placed. They ended up selling and made a few hundred rupees of real money!
