Vanakkam Chennai, being a home production, I was able to think from a producer’s shoes, and the speed with which we shot the first schedule of Kaali was breakneck. Michael Buble ended wedding night with hamburgers instead of getting intimate. Kiruthiga also shares her appreciation for her producer and actor Vijay Antony for completing the shoot of the film in 58 days, when it was initially planned at 73.Ĭommenting on this, she says “An extensive and detailed pre-production process is the only thing that can help you finish a film in a short span of time. Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi: Music Director: Vijay Antony: Language: Tamil. Except for the first ten minutes, nothing will look the same," she asserts. I saw Lion out of curiosity, but that film is completely different. “I had pitched the script of Kaali to Dhanush long back. However, Kiruthiga denies the fact that it is a remake, stating that she had written the script of Kaali 4 years ago. On the face of it, the film does share some similarities with Garth Davis’ 2016 biographical drama Lion which starred Dev Patel, Rooney Mara and Nicole Kidman. The trailer and sneak peek of Kaali showcase Vijay Antony as a rich NRI doctor returning to India, in an attempt to trace his roots and dig out details about his blood relations.
I didn’t see even the slightest of inhibitions in him.” There are some scenes which require high levels of positive temperament to pull off, but as a director and a scriptwriter, I’m very happy. In that way, I get rid of any creative limitations and widen my canvas.”Īsked whether Vijay Antony has done justice to her vision, Kiruthiga is quick to give an affirmation: “I don’t know if it’s just me or whether I’m being biased, but he has really put up a terrific performance in Kaali, though he won’t admit to it. When I write a story, I don’t particularly stick to a single genre or hero. It has its lighter moments, emotions, action blocks and so on. Talking about the design of the film and the genre it belongs to, she says, “ Kaali is a commercial entertainer. It was only when I asked him for another chance, trying to break the shackles of the dark thrillers that he usually does, and met him with the script of Kaali that good things finally started to happen,” narrates Kiruthiga. We have to play the waiting game for long. In the film industry, it is very tough as a relatively new director to find a producer, actor, and set the wheels in motion. 'I approached him with two stories, and Vijay chose this one. And that's when she met Vijay Antony to narrate Kaali. Believe me, I was on the verge of changing my career, because of getting so disappointed and tired of trying. After her first film, Vanakkam Chennai (2013), Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi wrote multiple scripts, but nothing, she says, materialised. “I narrated the crime thriller to him first, but he strayed away from it.
