The ethnic struggles in Sri lanka have been going on for three decades. Those years have been littered with bloodshed and heartbreak, leaving thousands homeless, and even more without mothers or fathers. The history of the brutal civil war that has plagued the island nation for thirty years. The problem existed many decades before the riots of the 70's or the 80's. The sinhalese and the Tamil people should realize that before either of their ancestors descended to the island, there were indigenous people already on the island when they got there in 700 BC. Where did these indigenous people come from?
There has been much speculation about the indigenous people and the complete absence of both historical reference and in representation in government today. Most of the natives either married the Tamils or Sinhalese, or more likely, The males got killed off and only the women were left to procreate. This is the premise of the new movie coming out of the Kollywood cinema industry, entitled Thaamirabharani. It is scheduled to start shooting early next year in 2011, and will hit theaters around this time next fall.
The movie is going to be directed by Tarun Gopi. And M. S. Viswanathan contributed to the soundtrack. The movie has a interesting cast with many up and coming stars who are eager to prove themselves as legitamate actors. Priyanka Chopra; is plaing the heorine role while Vijayakanth is going to play the protagonist in the love story adaptation of the civil war in Sri lanka. Among the movies Gopi has directed, this one is no doubt the one with the biggest budget, but it is also the only film that he will have the ability to add a political tone to the film. He is a vocal proponent for Tamil people and equal rights for all, but he hasn't had the platform to do it in a appropriate manner that still fits in with the story line. There not that many avenues to be political when you are making a comedic film.
