A completely different concept, ‘Boat’ is set in the backdrop of 1940s. When Japan bombed Chennai, 10 people escape into the sea on a small boat, fearing for their lives. Unexpectedly, the boat stops in the middle of the sea.
The boat develops a hole and sinks slowly. Adding more to the tension, a big shark surrounds the boat. How the people on the boat escape forms the crux of the story. The movie, which is shot entirely in the sea, will be a mix of thrill, action and political comedy.
Madhesh Manickam has handled the cinematography of ‘Boat’, which has music composed by Ghibran. Editing is by Dinesh and production design by T Santhanam. According to the production company, ‘Boat’ will be released in five languages in February.
