Now he is in the midst of producing a feature film adaptation of Christie’s first ever novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, first published in October 1916.
Kallidai and co-producer Mukhtiar Singh have reimagined it as ‘Summerville Murder’, starring Christie’s beloved Hercule Poirot – but with a twist.
The entire film is in Hindi and Poirot is reimagined as Harkishan Purohit, a genteel detective with that distinctive moustache (although Kallidai hopes Singh, playing Purohit, can grow it out a bit more).
It’s a local production in the truest sense of the word. Kallidai lives and works in Waiuku and the cast and crew are from across Auckland.

Popping out for coffee. Baking chocolate muffins. Dancing to the Moana soundtrack. The small ways we make memories with our friends stay with us forever.
That’s how Ella Hinton, 24, and Tegan Gilbert, 25, spend their time together. Between their selfies, sing-alongs and sweet treats, time flies by until the next week when they hang out again.
Hinton and Gilbert, both of Papakura, have been friends for nearly two years.
They met in an unconventional sort of way, matched to hang out by IHC, New Zealand’s main service provider for people with intellectual disabilities.
Volunteer Co-ordinator Brigit Bowron said there are around five or six other people IHC works with in Counties Manukau with whom she would love to match a volunteer.
“By becoming a volunteer you would be making a positive change in someone’s life and making a new friend in the process,” she said.
If you’re interested in becoming a volunteer, contact Volunteer Coordinator Brigit Bowron on brigit.bowron@ihc.org.nz.

On July 17, a police helicopter was flying over Popes Rd in Takanini, South Auckland, searching for a stolen car when they spotted the man and his car.
“When Eagle located the suspicious activity, they directed officers to the area,” a police spokesperson said.
In the video, a man could be seen standing next to a car which was parked directly behind the digger. He got out two petrol cans, pulled a hose out of the car and hopped underneath the heavy machinery.
