CHENNAI. Shooting started in Chennai on the first ever feature film on marriage in India. With a 
professional crew and talented actors, the feeling was optimistic. As always, the reality of the situation hit the first day as the film unions again told producer, Jim Sanjay, that a dual language film could not be produced without a huge payment to the producers union. A desision was made literally on the set to produce in Tamil and dub to Hindi.
So, the actors, all of whom spoke Hindi and English, had to literally be fed lines in Tamil so the Tamil re-recording would be accurate. 
This slowed things down and it was difficult for even the most experienced – Film star Johnny Lever said, “you have dropped a pile of bricks on my head telling me this!”
So, the creative people met together with script consultant JDH and a day and one-half was cut from the shoot schedule. As the team struck the set at the end of the 4th day at 2am after shooting from 9am to relocate to a conference center 90 KM away it was with optimism.
Moving all the equipment took longer as besides a generator truck the grip and lighting van took longer to make the distance. Because the conference center has all the remaining sets, it was felt it would be easy. “But we never considered how difficult it would be to move from building to building. The lights and dolly tracks muse be loaded onto the van and the unloaded a a hundred yards away. This is quite time consuming,” Sanjay commented.
