‘Route No. 17’ shot in a cave for 22 days at 55 degrees Celsius
Dr. Amar Ramachandran of Neni Productions is producing the film ‘Route No. 17’. Abhilash G Devan, a former associate of critically acclaimed Malayalam filmmaker Kannan Thampithanam is directing the film. A noteworthy fact is that he is the director of ‘Thai Nilam’, bankrolled by the same production house that has won 14 International Awards.
Jithan Ramesh is playing the protagonist and Anju Pandiya appears as the female lead in this movie. Hareesh Peradi is performing as the antagonist’s character in this movie. Aruvi Madhan appears as a pivotal character in this movie. Amar Ramachandran, Nihas, Akil Prabhakaran, Jennifer, Bindhu, Kasi Viswanathan, Titus, and many others are essaying pivotal characters in this movie.
Actor Jithan Ramesh’s fame after the Bigg Boss show has become phenomenal and audiences for started celebrating his nature. To make sure that he doesn’t disappoint his fans, and this film being the first-ever movie to release after Bigg Boss, he has taken lots of risks performing the stunt sequences without using any dupes.
Respectively, he has shot a major sequence of this film in a 5500 sq. ft set work of cave erected below the ground level, near a thick forest located near Thenkasi. Many other actors alongside Jithan Ramesh have also acted in these sequences.
Sometimes unable to bear the heat, he would sprinkle water on himself, and without any break or rest, would immediately get back to shooting the sequences.
The film’s first look that was revealed recently has garnered a good response.
