NAIR SAN: THE LEGENDARY INDIAN PATRIOT IN WORLD CINEMA
1964 Japan Olympics. It was a thrilling moment for India when Indian Hockey Team won the Gold. But when the National anthem was being played at the medal distribution ceremony one among the crowd began shouting at the Japanese Government only because of the fact that instead of India’s National Anthem the authorities played Pakistani National Anthem. Even though there were many officials and great personalities from India who were witnessing the incident
none raised their voice other than this great Indian. That was the Indian legendary hero Ayyapan Pllai Madhavan Nair famous as Nair San in Japan.

NAIR SAN: THE LEGENDARY INDIAN PATRIOT IN WORLD CINEMA
1964 Japan Olympics. It was a thrilling moment for India when Indian Hockey
Team won the Gold. But when the National anthem was being played at the medal
distribution ceremony one among the crowd began shouting at the Japanese Government only because of the fact that instead of India’s National Anthem the authorities played Pakistani National Anthem. Even though there were many officials and great personalities from India who were witnessing the incident
none raised their voice other than this great Indian. That was the Indian legendary hero Ayyapan Pllai Madhavan Nair famous as Nair San in Japan. This is only one of the incidents which show the patriotism of this great man who became the reason for ending the Asian exploitation by the British during the
freedom struggle.
Continual.... For those who know Nair san personally he is special in different ways. Nair San had to leave his native land Kerala at the age of 18 as he campaigned among the students and led protests and marches against the social injustices of the British. He rebelled against the Education tax polled by English rulers. Being settled in Japan he struggled hard to root out the imperialism in Asian Countries. At the same time freedom fighters in India assembled men against English rulers. His efficiency in Japanese, Chinese and Spanish
languages lifted him above all other Indian freedom fighters in Japan such as Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Rash Behari Bose, Pratap Singh, Barkathullah etc. Thus Nair San became an ever lively presence in the strong and well arming agitation organized by Indian National Army and Indian Independence League.
Continual.... Many thrilling moments in the life of Nair San are unknown. His strange experiences and dangerous encounters taking the roles of a trader, a Holy lama and a Soofi during his one man expedition and exploration through the deserts and Plateau of Manchukia, Ala Shaan, Mongolia, Tibet, and China in 1933 paved
the way for ending the illicit wool trade of the British which contributed the major source of their income.
When a renowned film Director from Kerala like Albert honored with awards for his debut film decided to take up the story of Nair San for his next film it is a prestigious moment for the whole of India as the film is being designed
in such a way so as to attract the aesthetics of the International audience. Albert’s passion and vision on Nair San is complemented by his tremendous urge to discover new eras on the subject and to create a truly international class Asian film spanning different cultures, languages and religions.
Continual.... The adventurous life of Nair San lighted the flame in Albert’s mind to create such a film where the Director’s creative concept is used more than the mere
historical approach. The story is based on ‘Memories of Nair San’ the biography of A.M.Nair and the creative concept is developed by Albert himself. Padmasree Mohanlal acts the lead role in the first Japanese film directed by
an Indian. The other two famous actors in the film are selected from
Bollywood. The leading Japanese actress is preferred to be the heroine of
Mohanlal. As Nair San married a Japanese lady it is the perfect recreation by
the director himself to select a Japanese actress as the heroine.
Discussions and attempts are moving fast to accommodate the world action hero
Jackie Chan also in this film to play the role of a Cameoâ€Â,
Music maestro A.R.Rahman will be doing music for the film. The traditional
Mongolian & Japanese songs included in the film will be a different experience
for the music lovers.

The $7.5 million budget film is said to be a different experience for the film
lovers worldwide as it is the result of the hard work and enthusiasm of a
handful of talented artists. As Japan is the second largest film market in the
world the revenue calculated from the movie will be much more than the budget
of the film.
The major location of the film is Japan, Mongolia and India. The schedule of
the film is planned within 145 days and it is expected to release by the end
of 2008. Albert had been in hazardous attempt to secure all the detailed
knowledge for the perfection of the film.

LOGLINE
A born rebel-hero, A.M.Nair from Kerala, India, is sent to his brother in
Japan to mend his ways. He, however, discovers that there are battles to be
fought with the British from there, and contribute to the Indian Independence
struggle. In the process, he also contributes immensely to the revitalization
of the Japanese & Mongolian economy. Through the dramatic, action-packed
episodes, he discovers new identities, marries a Japanese woman and settles in
Japan, fondly called Nair-san, by his Oriental friends.
Continual.... PRODUCTION NOTES
Director
“The idea of taking up the story of Nair San came to my mind when I enquired
about the Nair San Hall near my residence at Mudavanmugal at Trivandrum in
Kerala, India.Even though I didn’t know any details about this great man the
Tamil translation of the biography of A.M.Nair, Memories of A.M.Nair was
gifted by S.Ramakrishnan a renowned writer from Chennai, India.When I went
through the book it was surprising to know that he was a rebellious hero from
Kerala who took part in the Indian Independence struggle by curbing the Asian
exploitation by the British.Simultaneously he also contributed immensely to
the revitalization of the Japanese and Mongolian economy. I visited Japan many
times confronted with many experts and research scholars to obtain more
information about Nair San.Every time Gopalan Nair, son of Nair San, a
business entrepreneur in Tokyo helped in many ways.
Continual.... Surely it is a challenge
to take up such a topic but it will be my sincere effort to create a film for
an international audience and the topic is so thrilling that it will surely
capture the mind of the cinema lovers all over the world.As it is in the
development stage, the script and story board is completed, I haven’t yet
approached major companies in the matter of production.Now I am looking
forward for a tie up with corporate companies like Adlabs, Sony pictures,
Warner Brothers etc… looking forward to the great challenge in the history of
Asian cinema.
