“M.G.R was so strict in his shooting spot and we will maintain a pin drop silence when he is around. During a song shoot, we assistant directors would notice the lip sync of the actors. In that song shoot, when I notice that the lip sync is missing, got emotional and shouted “One More” at him (MGR). ” said S.A.C in the award function.

The director went on to add what happened next. “He (MGR) looked at me for few minutes. He accepted to go for one more and finished acting for the song. Then he called me by his side and put his hands around my shoulder. *You will become a huge director some day* he said to me” said S.A.C who added that the interesting part about the incident is yet to come.

“The next day when I was expecting for my car, it didn’t come. When I reached the shooting floor through auto rickshaw, they didn’t let me in. The director Sedhu Madhavan sir came out and asked me to work with him in the next movie” laughed S.A.C. “However I managed to direct 70 films in my directorial career as he said” he added.
