The city will soon have its evenings lit up in bright colours, as Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA) is in the final stage of completing its ambitious laser show centre at Rajendra Maidan.
The civic agency is planning to have the centre open by Onam next month. GCDA chairman N. Venugopal said that the laser show will get underway with the imprint of the city celebrities for which graphic works are being finalised in Bangalore and other places.
Yesudas, Mammootty, John Paul, film director Ashique Abu, music composer Bijibal, cinematographer Shaiju Khalid, actor Reema Kallingal, lyricist Santhosh Varma and makeup man Sameera Saneesh are behind the show, which was shot in and around Kochi over the last couple of days.
Though fountain dance is popular in various parts of the country, Kochi will boast of the first water laser show in the country, Mr. Venugopal said. The three-phased show combining smoke, water and video will convey the history and tradition of the city. The show will virtually stage art forms in the sky.
