Chennai, April 3 Dennis Manjunath, the director of 'Manithan Deivamagalam', has now disclosed how ace director Selvaraghavan, who plays the lead in his film, chose to continue shooting for a sequence in the film, despite running a high temperature.
Participating in the trailer launch event of the film, director Dennis Manjunath chose to narrate an incident that had happened on the sets of the film to highlight the level of dedication Selvaraghavan had shown towards the film.
He said, "I would like to share a small incident that happened on the sets of the film. We were shooting an important scene at night with a big setup. The shot would have Selvaraghavan sir searching, holding a torch. Shooting was supposed to happen from 6 to 2 AM. Selvaraghavan sir was already running a temperature. The weather was very cold, and the duration of the shoot kept increasing. It became 3 in the morning and then went onto 4 AM.
The director continued,"Selvaraghavan sir said, 'We'll complete this later' and walked a few steps. However, I don't know what he thought, but he returned within a minute and said, 'Let us finish this scene and then leave.' He probably didn't want the flow of the scene to be disturbed or cause any inconvenience to the producer. He completed the scene then and there. That moment taught me a lot about dedication and what it means to be a true artiste."
The director went on to thank his entire cast and crew for their support to him during the making of the film. He said, "My sincere thanks go to every single person who worked on this film. While writing this story, I kept thinking, usually a film has a hero and a villain. But in life, everything has an opposite: day and night, shadow and reality, joy and pain. I wanted to bring all these dimensions into one story. So, for the role of the protagonist, I chose Selvaraghavan sir, and for the strong antagonist role, I chose Mime Gopi sir. When I narrated the story, Mime Gopi sir said, ‘I will do anything for you.’ I am truly grateful for that trust and affection. I believe this role will be a new experience for him."
