Pegged as a futuristic film, the first look of his upcoming The Fallen that is being made in Hindi, throws light on many intriguing aspects of its story, says director Pradeep Varma. “To give a brief glimpse, the story goes 5,000 years into the future. All previous civilisations have been wiped out, everything has regressed back in time and all traces of technology and gadgetry has been wiped out,” explains the director.
It’s at this juncture, wherein the last few amongst the survivors are looking to expand their clan, the film delves into the happenings in their life. “The poster shows Anupama who plays Dwaya, her love interest Ekva played by Satya BG, and Trinini, essayed by
Mayuri Nataraja, standing atop a cliff and pensively looking forward to a better future. There’s a halo behind them and a symbolic snake that is eating itself which a reference I’ve drawn from the Bhasmasura tale. Set in a fictitious land, there’s a mountain, Rikta that has borne silent witness to their lives and it stands tall in the background,” explains Pradeep, adding that Bhavani Prakash and Raghava also play prominent roles. The Fallen has cinematography by Anand Suresha, music by Luka Lauri from Georgia and editing by
Srikanth.
