Bangalore, Aug 21 - Kannada director A.M.R. Ramesh, who has already directed an award-winning movie about LTTE suicide bombers, plans to direct a bilingual film on former Tiger supremo Velupillai Prabhakaran who was killed by the Sri Lankan army this May.

The script is ready, but Ramesh hasn't finalised any actor to play Prabhakaran, the leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), in the yet-to-be-titled movie that will be made in English and Tamil. 'I want to cast a very talented actor to do the role... but I don't want to select any actor with a particular image tag,' Ramesh told IANS in an interview.

But the director says that he will start shooting the film after Nov 27.

'Nov 27 is Martyrs Day for the Tamil Tigers and Prabhakaran has been addressing his cadres on that day for the past two decades. LTTE sympathisers all around the world feel that if Prabhakaran doesn't make an appearance at Martyrs Day celebrations, then it will add a lot of credibility to the Sri Lankan Army's claims,' said Ramesh.

'If Prabhakaran does not make an appearance on Nov 27 this year, then I will change the script and alter the climax sequence,' said Ramesh who will be the executive producer of the film.
