The much-awaited and anticipated Ajith-Nayanthara starrer, Viswasam, is all set to relase this Pongal on 10th January. Lots of expectations are there from the well reputed team of director Siva.
Ace Stunt Choreographer, Dhilip Subbarayan has worked on this film. Speaking about the stunts he says, “More than challenges, I would say, we had lots of responsibilities, as every action sequence has a concept. In fact, every action block happens to be a point, where the plot progresses into next stage. So we had to aware about how we carry it. Thanks to Siva, as he was clear about his ideas when writing the script itself this made the work easier."
He adds a savoury nugget for fans, “There will lots of new and fresh elements in the film’s action sequences.”
While speaking about Ajith Kumar, he opines, “He is polite, humble and a perfect gentleman. He is always admired by every stuntman for the way he treats them with respect. When it comes to his profession, he never interferes or involves himself into our ideas and is always ready to go by our decisions.”
So, how about the mass rain fight we saw in the trailer that everyone is raving about. “When Siva opened up about this action sequence, I was so surprised. Although, there are lots of racy elements and enthralling moments for audiences with Ajith sir’s bike stunts and action blocks, it all holds an emotional aspect too. I cannot reveal more on this, but it will be a great experience to watch it in theatres.”
Getting on to speak about the other action sequences, especially the one we saw in the backdrops of the toilet, Dhilip Subbarayan brings up interesting information. “It had some challenges as the space was very much limited and we had to set up the entire drama within it. More than that it was really a risky block as the toilet had tile flooring, which was slippery. We weren't supposed to dry it as the continuity would be missed out for the next shot. So we had to proceed with it though it was very challenging. But the entire team was committed and it helped us accomplish it.”
