“While I was shooting a scene in which Suriya was supposed to talk in phone with Oorvashi mam, my assistant directors were giving cue for her voice and Suriya was reacting. Suriya’s acting at that time was brilliant but not brilliant enough. At that time Kaali venkat came there for another shooting and I called him” said Sudha.

“After reading the dialogues of Oorvashi mam’s dialogue, Kaali venkat said it with emotion to Suriya and he reacted well this time. After finishing the scene, Suriya just hugged him. He said that he never seen a man like Kaali venkat in his 25 years long cinema career. Because he uttered the page long dialogue of Oorvashi ma’m in Madurai accent with perfect emotion which helped Suriya to perform well” the filmmaker lauded Kaali Venkat in the interview.
