Who was behind Jayam Ravi's zombie makeup?

Jayam Ravi is awaiting his much anticipated first ever zombie film in K'town Miruthan.

Jayam Ravi who is riding high after back-to-back hits, is awaiting his much anticipated first ever zombie film in K’town Miruthan. Speaking about the movie he says, “Even as I signed the movie, I knew it was experimental and new to Tamil cinema, but it was fascinating. The title Miruthan is derived from mirugam (animal) and manithan (human being). Zombies can be animated by many ways like magic, virus and radiation. Here it is in virus form and instead of resorting to Hollywood prosthetic makeup specialists, the director has used our own local makeup artists, who have worked on period pieces, to create the zombies.”

He adds, “The makeup itself took several hours everyday. Imagine 500 junior artistes being part of the climax scene. About 1500 VFX shots are being used.” The romantic segments have been kept to a minimum, Ravi reveals.
