 Now KR is back with his new film, titled Dancer, its hero
being Kutty who has only one leg. KR who was the chief guest
at a function met Kutty who was dancing on stage with just
one leg. I immediately decided to cast him as the hero of my
next film. says KR. KR has produced 15 feature films in
various languages, directed 12 films, including one in
Malayalam, financed 42 feature films and distributed more
than 200 films including My dear Kuttichathan, a 3-D film
which created a record at the box-office.
The loss of one leg is attributed to an accident, which was
not treated properly while some say that it happened over a
fight in school. Kutty started practicing dance at home. Due
to his brother Solomon who has worked as assistant dance
master with Prabhu Deva and others, Kutty got the chance to
perform on stage at various functions, at school and college
functions and even at an election meeting. He is already
popular in his own way. We trained him for one year in horse
riding, different styles of fights, riding a motorbike, and
different styles of dancing too. He has no artificial
attachment to his leg but he dances as fast as Prabhu Deva
and with perfect balance, revealed KR who is directing this
film while his son Yogesh turns producer. Praveen Mani is the
music director. Cinematographer is Robert of the Robert-Rajasekhar
duo. The editors are Satish-Harsha, while Shanmugham
Angamuthu will design the sets.
In the film Kanika (Five Star fame) is a student at a dance
school run by Robert. Robert insults Kanika. She sees Kutty
with just one leg dancing on the streets. She takes him under
her wings, trains him, and makes him take part in a dance
competition in which Robert too takes part. "Dancer might
bring Mayuri to mind since Sudha Chandran, who lost her legs,
played the lead role in the semi-autobiographical film. But
she had artificial limbs attached. But here, Kutty has no
artificial attachments, and dances and fights like any other
hero. The only similarity, like Mayuri, my film also conveys
the message that physical handicap should not be considered a
hurdle to success. Says KR about the film.
