Priyadharshan's Kanchivaram goes to Toronto

Director Priyadharshan's off-beat classic 'Kanchivaram' has been selected for screening at the coveted Toronto film festival. The movie would be screened on 12 September.

The movie, written and directed by Priyadharshan features Prakash Raj and Shreya Reddy in the lead roles. Music is by M G Sreekumar.

Speaking about the project, Priyadharshan says, 'The film is set in thick Kanchi silk weaving industry and tells the story of a man caught among the forces that be, the society he lives in and the conflict between one's adopted ideals and individual dreams'.

It is a critical analysis of communism, which came to India in early 1920s, Priyadharshan says and adds, 'All these days I made films with my head, but 'Kanchivaram' is a film from my heart'.

'I have planned a commercial release in October', he says.

The movie is set in 1920 till 1948. The film is an analysis by the director why the communism took a backseat all over the world.

'Those preach it, don't practice it', says Priyadharshan.
