Generally, bi-linguals have certain common scenes and shots. This 20-minute episode is the film's major highlight.ĭid you find it risky to do a bilingual with Mahesh? In the second half, the hero, along with certain women, catches the villain. It has got a lot of importance in the film. There are risky shots too in this episode. About 2000 artistes participated in this episode. There is an episode which took us 25 days to shoot. What would you say are the major highlights? You won't find any scene that is unrealistic. I would say, let the film be watched first. I don't know what the audiences are thinking about the hero from what they have watched in the Trailer.

How did you go about conceiving these characters? In 'SPYder', he seems to be larger-than-life. In 'Thuppakki', the hero was quite realistic. The enmity between him and the villain is quite powerful. What it is like to be an intelligence officer is showcased through his character.

He is a junior officer at the Intelligence Bureau. And if it's a big hero, it will become that much easier. If the aim is to give only a message, then it becomes vapid. If it is not preachy, the audiences are definitely going to love it. I felt that only Suryah can do such a role.ĭo you think people like to be given a message through a commercial movie? He is more powerful than even ten villains. He is like Mahabharatha's Shakuni, who destroys his enemies psychologically. But my villain is someone who operates secretly. Mahesh is the kind of hero who can beat to the pulp even fifty villains. Why did you go in for SJ Suryah for the villain's roles? On the upside, it's easy to solve murder mysteries these days with the help of technology. But now, we are afraid of someone watching us via a secret camera. There was a time when we were God-fearing. Even within a family, people are not properly connected to each other. These days, we are nuclearized as families. We should help out others in all circumstances. Twenty years ago, when an accident would occur, everybody would go out of their way to reach out to the victim. But when a disaster strikes, we act on our humanity. We take selfies and upload it on social media. In case of the former, we don't respond as a humankind.


This time I didn't want to do a dubbed movie. I was into making Tamil and Hindi movies. Moreover, this is my first proper bi-lingual.Īfter 'Stalin', why have we seen so much of gap before you made a straight Telugu movie? I have worked with a superstar like Mahesh Babu in a bi-lingual. What is your state of mind a day before the release of 'SPYder'? In this interview, the celebrated filmmaker answers a range of questions with ease. He is as confident about 'SPYder' as is Mahesh Babu.
