Amala Paul does risky stunts without substitute for Adho Andha Paravi Pole

Amala Paul who chooses challenging scripts of late is at it again. She plays a young woman entrepreneur who visits a jungle in one of her trekking adventure trips and gets lost on the dense woods in her upcoming female centric adventure thriller Adho Andha Paravai Pole.Directed by Vinoth KR, the Mynaa actress had to perform several physically demanding stunts in rough terrains. Samir Kochar of IPL fame debuts in K’town an important role.

Speaking to DC, Vinoth, a former assistant of director Kicha says, “The action adventure survival thriller set in the wilderness of the Western Ghats in Tamil Nadu close to the borders of Karnataka and Kerala. The entire movie is shot in the forest areas and it was tough to shoot in the rough terrain with changing climatic conditions. Cinematographer Santhakumar has composed his shots with the available natural lights.”

Heaping praise on Amala Paul, he said. “Even as we narrated the script she knew she had to perform several physically challenging stunts. We were okay with some of them like riding a bike and few chasings scenes. For the other risky stunts, I suggested a body-double. But a gritty actress that she is, she insisted that she would do the action blocks like climbing down 80 feet high trees (in a single shot), drowning through a dirty swamp and several long chase sequences. Her involvement was top notch, took every challenge in the spirit, performing them with no hassle. Thanks to action choreographer Supreme Sundar who has given great action sequences.”

On Adho Andha Paravai Pole title, which is the first line of famous MGR song, he says, “It is directly related to the story.

If you had noticed the entire song has been placed in legendary MGR’s film in the context of ‘freedom’ or ‘liberty’. Here also it denotes the same thing.” Ashish Vidyarthi plays a key character, a native of the ghats and working at a lower cadre with the forest department.
