By directing and shooting the film Gloora, Alan Vikranth has achieved a unique record of becoming the first person in the world to direct and cinematograph a film while moving on a wheelchair. Alan completed the script and story of the film GLOORA after a long four-month effort and hard work in 2022. Later, the filming of GLOORA was completed in three schedules of 100 days of tireless shooting in the years 2022-23. Alan was very often taken, carried in the hands by friends to the various forest and mountain locations where even a vehicle finds hard to reach.
Despite many times, the weather and physical condition being so bad and challenging, Alan completed the direction and cinematography of his dream project GLOORA while sitting in a wheelchair in 2023. The reason for the prolonged post-production was the introduction of graphics scenes and a making style that have never been seen in Indian cinema until now.
Although Alan had to encounter many challenges and adverse situations during post-production, Alan is overcoming them all with extra commitment and dedication and nearing the completion of GLOORA. Alan says that even when he feels down in any bad situation, the support of his parents, producer, co-producer, legal advisor, and close friends keeps him going.
Alan was in a wheelchair after suffering a spinal cord injury in a car accident in 2018. Alan completed his cinematography studies from the Ernakulam Film Institute between 2015-2016. He then worked in films and short films. Then, while he was planning to make his own films, the unexpected accident happened. He lost all his hopes and spent most of the next 3 years in the hospital. Even when the doctors had predicted that he would have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, Alan held on to his dreams and wrote the script for his first film, Gloora, while lying down. Along with the completion of the film Gloora, Alan continues to fight his fate and get up from his wheelchair and walk. The life of Gloora film director Alan Vikrant is a role model and inspiration for today’s society, which is overwhelmed by even the smallest difficulties.
