Guinness Book of World Records
Makers of Sugreeva were on a mission to make it into the Guinness Book Of World Records with the goal of having shot the entire film in a mere 18 hours but failed to do so because the total period includes the time from the beginning of shooting to release of the movie in theatres.[3] The current record for the quickest movie made lies with the 1999 Tamil film Suyamvaram.
