‘Thaandavam was a huge challenge’ - Dir Vijay

‘Thaandavam was a huge challenge’ - says director Vijay, who is looking forward to the release of his Vikram-starrer V Lakshmi Director Vijay has been working frenetically for the past few days to get the final print of UTV Motion Pictures’ Thaandavam ready. With the release date nearing, quiz him if he is anxious about the movie’s result, and he says, 

“This film has been a huge challenge. We’ve focussed on a new concept; have a huge star cast and the best of technicians onboard. But, we had to face a lot of hurdles. The London weather wasn’t too kind with us. And then, we had to discredit a lot of rumours like how the script of the film wasn’t mine and how certain footages that we shot abroad were lost. I must say, we’ve survived and strived hard, and I hope the audience like what they see on screen.” Produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Siddharth Roy Kapoor, the film boasts of a talented cast. He says, “

Everyone has done a fabulous job, and have added to the film in their own way. Vikram has given a powerpacked performance as an ambitious intelligence officer.” Ask him what the highlight of this film will be, and he says, “There’s a cute love story between Vikram and Anushka, which is vital to the film. Anthony’s editing in the second half of the film will also be much talked about.” In many ways, Vijay admits Thaandavam will be close to his heart. “I believe that a movie should have an impact on the audience. 

After Thaandavam, I’m sure many people will come to know about human echolocation and Daniel Kish’s efforts to help the visually-challenged ‘see through their ears’,” he signs off.
