Rajini sir had full faith in me when many people looked at me with doubt says Director Nelson
Superstar Rajinikanth’s movie Jailer, produced by Sun Pictures and directed by Nelson, was released on August 10th and ever since, it has been running successfully in theaters. This film continues its success at the box office, not only in Tamilnadu but also in other states and worldwide.On account of this, Team Jailer met the press to thank the public and the media for making the film a huge success.
Stunt director Stun Siva said, “I saw Rajini sir for the first time as a child in the film Garjanai. After that I got the opportunity to work with him in films like Yejaman, Mannan, Pandian, Muthu. I have worked in more than 300 films so far. Jailer is the first time I am working as a stunt director for a Rajini sir film. Nelson and I have worked this together so that every fight scene is mass so that all the fans of superstar can enjoy it. If the action sequences in this film have a good reputation, it is because of director Nelson. The cinematographer of this film is Vijay Karthik Kannan who is more of a Rajini fan than me, watched and sculpted the scenes of the superstar,” he said.
Actress Mirna said, “Thanks to director Nelson for trusting me with this role. Ever since the release of this film, I have received immense love from people. Even while talking to the editor Nirmal before the release of the film, he said that this film will change your life after its release. That is what is happening now. Acting with superstar Rajini sir as an artiste would be everyone’s dream. For me it was fulfilled a little too soon. I acted with him for 35 days. I Learned Every Thing From Him Every Day This is the second film with Lalettan. I have just come back after watching this movie in Kerala yesterday. Sunil sir is so welcomed there. If he goes there, they will celebrate. This movie is being celebrated in Kerala. “Jailer is the most important film in my life,” she said.
Actor Harshath said, “I have been working with director Nelson for 12 years. Many people think that he has reached this great place in such a short time, but I have witnessed the hardships he went through to reach this place. During the last five days of Jailer shooting, Nelson was suffering from a high fever but kept it all aside and concentrated on work. When I came to cinema, I came with the idea of wanting to be Rajini. I thought we would see him in person and got the privilege of acting with him in this film. It took me a month to get out of the frozen feeling when he gave me his hand in praise of my performance,” he said.
Lyricist Super Subu said, “Director Nelson didn’t know who I was when I wrote this song. This opportunity came through music composer Anirudh. Superstar Rajinikanth is like Vigraham who is kidnapped in this film. I wanted to write this song in a way that would suit the fans to celebrate him in any place. The response to this song is gratifying,” he said.
Actor Redin Kingsley said, “The last time I was speaking here at a press meet about a year ago, they asked me what Nelson was doing. I told him that he is frantically writing the story. I scolded him for that. But now he has given a film so madly. Jailer film celebration is like if ten Diwalis come in one day. Anyway this film will touch thousand crores.
I have worked with Jani Master for the fourth time in this film. The Kaavaalaa song choreographed by him became a huge promotion for the film. There was doubt whether actor Sunil would agree to act in this film. But even after agreeing and acting well, he would eagerly ask if he could be tagged again. We took a take for me and a take for him sometimes and used whichever was best. We first spoke to five or six people for the character Mirnaa plays in this film. But after seeing Mirnaa’s performance, I didn’t think of choosing anyone else for the role. Mirnaa is one of the actors who took less takes in this film. When the Hukum song was written for this film and came to me, I asked Anirudh if it was the Rajini fan club president who had written it. He made it as an action song to that extent.
The reason why fans are celebrating this film so much is because Rajini sir had a lot of faith in the script of this film. After watching the film, he praised it as ten times better than I thought. Rajini sir had full faith in me when many people looked at me with doubt. He is currently on a spiritual journey in the Himalayas while the film is running successfully here. When he comes, I should meet him in person and thank him,” he said. Also, “In this film, we have used Rajini sir’s eyes in close-ups. That’s because whenever he looks at us, his eyes are determined. It was not only me but cinematographer Vijay Kartik Kannan also told me this that he wanted to put more emphasis on Rajini sir’s eyes. Watching those scenes in the film with the background music was a mass,” he said.
