From
International Business Times:
The most-anticipated Tamil action thriller movie "Thaandavam"
starring Vikram, Anushka Shetty and British beauty Amy Jackson revolves
around a blind-man who uses human echolocation technique to seek
revenge.
Directed by AL Vijay and produced by UTV production, the film is all scheduled to hit the screens on September 28.
Vikram and Vijay have reunited for "Thaandavam" after delivering
blockbuster "Deiva Thirumagal." In their previous movie outing, they
narrated a heart-warming relationship between a father and a daughter,
and now they have come up with a revenge story.
Buzz is that Vikram is playing the role of a police officer but
doesn't wear the uniform. His character in the movie is said to be
inspired by Daniel Kish, an American-based human echolocation expert.
Daniel Kish has been roped in to the "Thaandavam" project by the
filmmakers to assist the protagonist to understand the techniques of
echolocation and get into the skin of the character.
In his forthcoming film, Vikram set himself on a revenge quest and
fights his enemies despite the fact that he is visually impaired using
echolocation method.
Human echolocation is a state of the art, where humans are able to
recognize the objects/people in a surrounding and sense their movement
towards them to spontaneously respond by actively generating sounds.
Vikram had earlier essayed the role of visually-challenged person in
"Kasi" (2001). One of his movies "Kanthaswamy", (2009) too has a fight
sequence, where he took on his foes blindfolded by sensing their foot
movements.
Going by the trailer of "Thaandavam", Vikram figures out his enemies
and takes them down by making clicking sounds with his mouth.
"Thaandavam" trailer promises big and assures a sure-treat for the
action enthusiasts. The film will also be released in Telugu as "Shiva
Thandavam."
