The Renaissance - Akil

It is not something that can be considered coincidental. It is far from coincidence as much as it is far from related. But could it really have a reason. A purpose to keep it in a place where it is least expected and that too for an audience who will never have a clue what they are looking at. May be this is like easter eggs in software like a pin ball game in office 2000 or Star wars movie in Windows XP. But I couldnt rule this out as an easter egg too for there is a justifiable explanation that can be applied here.

I was watching this movie "Renaissance", a Computer animated gripping scifi movie. It uses motion capture for the whole movie and was created in 6 years. The movie was set in the year 2054 and the place is Paris, France. In the era when animators are trying to add more colors and effects to the animations to make them more realistic, this movie plays completely in black and white. Please note, it has only two colors and not any grayscale. So its almost in 2D. An inner look into the production makes us realise that they have worked hard to produce the movie in two colors as much as they would have worked to produce in colors. All said about the production, it was not any of these that intrigued me the most. It was just few seconds in the early part of the movie that raised my eyes. Just see for yourself and you will surely open your mouth in awe.

How in the name of Akathiyar, did those tamil letters came to this animated movie. Was it just a careless choice of bitmaps for the background or is it because they want to stress the importance of Tamil language to the world. We all know Tamil is one of the oldest(or the oldest) literary language in the world and has survived so many centuries. But does this picture tells us that will last in the world to spread out to far reaches? Or does it have any significant meaning? This is what I can make out of the frame.

Sa Re Ga Ma Akil Dream's Akil

"Sa Re Ga Ma" is a music company brand name.
But I cant find any movie or album by name "Akil"
Neither can I find any producer called "Dream's".

Yet all of them look familiar.

Could this be some clue to the greatest secret in the history of mankind? Please help me out in this unsolved mystery. We might really bring out a new renaissance to this world.
