''That's why he is Ajith and that's why you all love him'', Vishnuvardhan

Oct 22, 2013

We are just 9 days away from the release of Arrambam and the buzz surrounding the movie is increasing by the hour. The director of the movie, Vishnuvardhan is much-in-demand and everyone wants to pick his brain and get to know more about Arrambam. In a recent interview, he spoke at length and satiated the appetite for Arrambam among Ajith fans and other cinema lovers. We present to you what he said about a variety of topics related to Arrambam and Ajith.

About Ajith's dashing V neck T shirts ... "We were clear that Ajith wouldn't be wearing suits in this film and we gave him everyday costumes that all of us wear. V neck T shirts symbolize a man who is macho and has a certain beastly nature. Ajith loved it and he carried this costume beautifully. It suited him perfectly and anyway the man is stunning."

Vishnu was happy to share the same vibrations and wavelength with Ajith since their Billa days and thanked Ajith for his co-operation. He made it clear that this would be a new kind of film for both him and Ajith and reiterated that it was not a gangster film.

He also praised Ajith's magnanimity for agreeing to work with such an elaborate star cast and for making newcomers and upcoming actors such as Akshara Gowda and Taapsee, feel comfortable on the sets.

On the much talked about leg injury, Vishnu spoke in a very animated manner "The morning after his injury, he was back on the sets, with his knee tightly bound, and he completed the shot. Ajith said that he can't keep the entire unit waiting for him. Even, the ortho specialist that we consulted asked Ajith to return home at once. Stunt master Lee Whittaker was stunned by this level of commitment and said that even Hollywood stars would have thrown some tantrums. That's why he is Ajith and that's why you all love him"

Though Venkat Prabhu overtook Vishnu in using Ajith's salt and pepper look in Mankatha, Vishnu isn't hampered and says "No one in India has the guts to carry off this salt and pepper look like Ajith"
