In the climax scene of Shikaar, you have done some risky shots. It was reported that Mohanlal was very impressed with your performance in that shot...
We shot the climax at the Guna cave in Kodiakanal where I was required to hang between the rocks. Our stunt master Thyagarajan sir wanted the shot to be done using a dupe (stunt person). But I said I would do it myself. It was a risky shot and everyone including Mohanlal sir advised me not to attempt it. But I was very stubborn. I told them that I was ready to take the risk. After the shot, Mohanlal sir congratulated me and said that I was really brave. I was on cloud nine. It was like an energizer for me.
How was the experience of shooting for Nadodigal?
Nallamma was a gift to me by God. When Samuthirakani sir and his team came down to Ernakulam and chose me, I was really thrilled as it was the Subramaniapuram team. But when I reached Chennai for the shoot, I got a shock. Only then I came to know that the director of the Subramaniapuram was going to act with me in the film. This was more than any newcomer could dream for.
On the first day of the shoot, I was really tense. But the crew was fantastic. At that time my Tamil was horrible but the team patiently taught the language that I never felt as if I was working in an alien language. The character got noticed and Nadodikal was a huge hit.
