Priya Anand is a fabulous actor and she has a bubbly role. Every time we team up, there’s a lot of expectation. On working with the team: This is the sixth film that Simran and I are doing together. So, I’m careful to neither overdo it nor underperform. The character I play is a visually challenged pianist. This one was a massive hit and Ayushmann Khurrana even won the National Award for his performance.
On doing the remake of Andhadhun: It’s a special movie because a lot of people have wanted to portray this role. There’s creative collaboration on the set and that’s fun: Prashanth We get talking to him and the rest of the team about the film… To remake such a film is a challenge, but we are happy it’s coming out really well,” he tells us.
It played all over the country, was screened in 4,000 theatres in China, where they didn’t know the language, and even won three National Awards. A satisfied Thiagarajan called ‘Shot OK’ before sparing a few moments to talk to us about his Andhagan.
There were sobs, vehement disagreements and finally, an angry Prashanth stood up screaming. As we looked around, we saw Samuthirakani interrogating Simran and debutant Lakshmi in his office, and soon, Prashanth walked in and joined the trio, with a backpack on his shoulder and a walking stick in his hand. There were also pictures of the ‘Most Wanted’ in the Lawspet jurisdiction. The notice boards at the entrance had newspaper clippings of various patrolling activities of the cops. The old Woodlands Hotel in Royapettah had turned into an extremely busy Puducherry police station.
