ACTOR ARUN VIJAY INTERVIEW

I play Victor. As an actor, it was challenging to reprise the role and justify the character description Gautham created. With somebody like Ajith, the showstealer, standing next to you all the time, you just have to be perfect to be noticed at the least. Sometimes, you get lucky to bump into roles like this. Ajith sir never saw this as an Ajith film. He honestly felt, my role needs the weightage and the prominence. If not for Ajith, I wouldn't have even made it to the posters. Gautham doesn't make multi-starrers; he makes a film with lot of prominent characters.

He is a mass-class, sophisticated, task-master. He can effortlessly extract the best from you. When some directors prefer sitting near the monitor, Gautham would stand next to you and brief you the literal emotion that has to be enacted. He develops this personal connect with you and makes you feel so comfortable. He knows what he wants and he is very particular about the kind of film he's making. I have found a new me after working with Gautham. He has got so much in him and it will be seen in his coming films. Like his films, he is also a very realistic and logical guy. He is a gift to Tamil cinema. Yennai Arindhaal will be a different experience and his storytelling has an innocent, but rich touch. He never sits on the sets. We might sometime wonder why he is spending so much time with the detailing, but when you see it on screen, you’ll be spellbound. More than anything else, the freedom he gives you to consume the role and enjoy every bit of it, is what it takes to be a Gautham.

Come with an open mind. It will be an experience to you. We can't ask you to not have expectations, but come as a blank slate and get ready to be filled with Yennai Arindhaal. There are a lot of emotions we've explored in the film. Yennai Arindhaal is a pick of Sathyadev's life. Lot of Ajith’s real self has gone into the characterization of Sathyadev. In simple words, Ajith is Sathyadev. Like the real Ajith you love and adore, Sathyadev is also genuine and frank. Gautham has used a lot of Ajith elements for Sathyadev. It is going to touch a lot of people. Fans and film buffs are going to rave about it. Yennai Arindhaal has got everything to be a complete film. Gautham has narrated a story that needs to be told and hasn't strayed away from the primary intentions. Please don't see it as an Ajith Film; it has a never seen before Ajith, who’s going to be loved all over again by everyone. There is romance, action, twists, suspense, drama, emotions and the signature Ajith elements. All I can say is that you'll love it. 

As much as you all love Ajith, you will love Sathyadev also. Me, as an Ajith fan, have my set of expectations. There are a lot of special factors that's going to make Ajith fans crazy. It will meet and outgrow your expectations. YA will be an Ajith fan's all time favorite.
