New Delhi: A two-hour Tamil film made in less than 12 days has entered the Guinness Book of World Records. The film, Shivappu Mazhai, based on Tamils in Sri Lanka, had over 600 technicians working round the clock to complete the film by June 3, 2009.

Suresh Joachim and Meera Jasmine star in the lead roles of the film.

"Prior to this, a British production company held the record, which was when they shot a film in 13 days in 1990. This took 12 days only. This is a big achievement," said Shivappu Mazhai director V Krishnamoorthy.

The film is due to release on January 14, 2010. However, there has been some problem on receiving the necessary certificates after its completion. (Ibnlive)
