This one is a period drama

Pondicherry-based

Carl A Harte

who has previously done movies like Aandavan Kattalai , Zero and

Vedalam

, will now be seen playing a negative character in a period film titled, Veeramundampatti. Directed by debutant

Mariyappan

, the movie is inspired from a real-life story.

Talking to us about the movie, Carl says, ���I am the villain in the movie, a horrible British officer who takes great delight in ruining and demoralising a quaint village. The story is set in 1930s, where the British want to change the name of the village because it is too long. The locals don���t agree and the two parties get into a fight. How the locals succeed, forms the major plot.���

Newcomers, Veera and

Shital K Upare

play the leads in the movie. Carl and the crew have been shooting at a small village called

Nadupatti

in Tamil Nadu. ���The villagers at Nadupatti would come watch us shoot and eventually become a part of the shoot. We have also had so many children come and shoot with us. It has been a lot of fun shooting for the movie. In fact, it took me a while too, to pronounce the title of the movie right,��� shares the actor who is from Australia.
