Addressing a press conference at the 49^th International Film Festival of India here in Panaji ,Chezhiyan Ra, Director, of vMy Tamil film ‘To Let’ said his personal experience while searching for a house in Chennai led to the making of this film. “Shifting of house seems to look like a small matter. But in real life there are so many emotional strings attached with the house we live. The film tries to portray all those emotions, quarrels and trauma associated with the searching of house within a deadline of 30 days”, the director said. Replying to a question, Chezhiyan said that the experience of working as a cinematographer along with great Tamil directors helped him a lot while creating a feature film. He further added that as a cinematographer, he experienced and experimented with the process of converting text into images. To Let is a story of a couple with a child living in a rented house in Chennai. It takes place in 2007 when the metro city was experiencing a real-estate boom as a result of an exponential development of the IT sector. A little too greedy for a higher rent, the land owner asks the couple to vacate their house. They have only thirty days to find new accommodation with their modest middle-class income. On their moped, the couple starts a race against time and all kinds of prejudice to get a house.
