What Shankar Said To Rajeev Masand In CNN/IBN Interview!

Busy director Shankar made time for a special interview with Rajeev Masand on CNN/IBN. The Tamil filmmaker spoke about his forthcoming Tamil movie I, his lead actor Vikram, his penchant for huge-budget movies etc. Here, we bring you the edited excerpts from the interview that we found on Vikram's fan page on Facebook. On Being Asked About Vikram's Commitment, Shankar Said: Vikram's commitment amazed me. I'm bit doubtful if any other actor would have agreed for the script. Interestingly though, he was the only actor I approached for I. Citing An Example Of His Dedication, Shankar Revealed: There are so many actors who think a lot before tonsuring their head, but Vikram said that he will do anything for I. He is really great. Extraordinary VFX: VFX work in a film succeeds when the audience do not realize it is VFX. Except for a few shots such as the bike transforming into Amy Jackson, you cannot realize that it is special effects. We worked with Rising Sun Pictures, who worked in the Harry Potter series. The audience are watching a lot of films on television, so their intelligence levels are obviously high. We have to satisfy the audience who come to the film looking for bigger things every time. Srinivas Mohan is a wonderful VFX artist, it feels great to work with him.
