Description: Oru Melliya Kodu(Tamil) or AMR's Game (Kannada) is a Mystery film rumoured as a remake of a spanish movie El Cuerpo aka The Body (2012) directed by A. M. R. Ramesh. The film features Arjun Sarja, Shaam and Manisha Koirala in the leading roles, while Ilaiyaraaja composes the soundtrack. Simultaneously made in Tamil under the title Oru Melliya Kodu, the film is likely to release in March 2016.
Ramesh had narrated the story to Arjun who agreed to work on the film and helped contact Manisha Koirala about playing the film's leading female role. Shaam was selected to play the film's main antagonist, a role initially planned to be played by the director himself. Arjun also helped the makers get in touch with composer Ilaiyaraaja to compose two songs for the film. The team shot in Chennai in February 2015, with Oru Melliya Kodu, a dialogue taken from Gautham Menon's Yennai Arindhaal (2015), adapted as the film's Tamil title.
In April 2015, actress Kushboo was approached to play Arjun's wife in the film but turned down the offer. The actress later sought a public clarification from the team if the story was based on the death of Indian businesswoman, Sunanda Pushkar, and urged the team to narrate the story with sensitivity. Ramesh however refused to confirm Kushboo's allegations and turned down her request of divulging the film's plot to the media. During December 2015, the director revealed that production was complete and that post-production and censoring works were ongoing.
Game movie is made as a bilingual, being simultaneously shot in Tamil as Oru Melliya Kodu and in kannada as Game, where the main story of the movie deals with a murder mystery.
