Guinness records holder to make Tamil film in 12 days



Toronto: With 53 Guinness world records already under his belt, Toronto-based Suresh Joachim has now set his sights on Bollywood. Next month, he will land in India to create yet another record - making a full-length film in just 12 days.

"Yes, a two-hour film in 12 days because the current Guinness record is held by 'The Fastest Forward', which was made by Russ Malkin and John Gore in just 13 days in 1990,'' Joachim, the second highest Guinness record holder, told IANS.


"Mine is a Tamil film which will be shot in Chennai. Everything - from scriptwriting to shooting to editing to the censors' approval to the launch - will be completed in 12 days,'' said the 39-year-old Sri Lankan-born Tamil.

The man, whose records include the longest karaoke marathon (25 hours, 49 minutes), the longest radio broadcast (120 hours), the longest time standing on one foot (76 hours, 40 minutes), the longest watching of TV (69 hours) and the longest ironing (55 hours, five minutes), said: "I will be the hero of this yet-to-be-named film which will have six top Tamil stars.''

He said the film will be shot and released in December.

"But I am going to India next month to meet Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi and leading Tamil stars for their cooperation. I have sponsors and backers to help complete this project,'' said Joachim who set his first Guinness record of 1,000 hours of running in Colombo in 1996.
