The film is about Aiyappan Pillai Madhavan Nair who opposed British
imperialism.
It will be made at a whopping cost of Rs.2 billion ($40 million), publicists
said.
The Indian thespian will work for over 125 days to play the title role and
will be paid Rs.50 million only, while Jackie Chan will collect six times
that fee for doing a cameo in 12 days, said a source.
Produced by Morpheus Ventures, the film will go on floors in September and
will be extensively shot in Mongolia, Japan and India. A.R. Rahman scores
the music for 'Nair San'.
Madhavan Nair opposed British imperialism in Mongolia and later in Japan.
After the war, he stayed back in Japan and played a major role in shaping
the Japanese economic miracle. For his labours, he came to be respectfully
addressed as 'Nair San'.
In 1984, Nair was conferred a high ranking civilian honour in Japan. He
passed away in 1990.
