28 Aug
Summary
- Film 'DC' was reimagined over a decade during development.
- Actor Siddharth was the initial choice for the lead role.
- The movie eventually grossed over 100 crore rupees worldwide.
The film 'DC' experienced a remarkable evolution over ten years from its initial concept to its final release. Initially envisioned with actor Siddharth in the lead role and a distinct urban gangster setting, the project faced substantial developmental changes. Cinematographer Mukesh G shared that Siddharth was almost confirmed for the film a decade ago.
Due to the prolonged period required for the film's materialization, the original vision shifted. Several actors were aware of the script's early stages, but the project's delays led them to pursue other opportunities. By the time 'DC' was ready for production, the narrative had been reshaped significantly.
The final version of 'DC' starred Lokesh Kanagaraj and Wamiqa Gabbi, directed by Arun Matheswaran, with Mukesh G as cinematographer. This reimagined version featured a different world and characters, including a new female lead, Chandra, replacing the earlier character Parvati. The film ultimately achieved widespread success, grossing over 100 crore rupees worldwide.
