The highlight of the original was a moving speech by Mammootty at the school function. Mammootty became very emotional performing that scene. How did Rajnikanth do the scene? Did he also become emotional?
You will have to watch the film. I will tell you what happened after the release.
In Malayalam, Mammotty speaks about his films, career, and life. But here what I have done is, made Rajni speak about children, teachers, how they are struggling and the education system.
When I interviewed you before the release of Chandramukhi, you said, he was just Rajnikanth when you directed him earlier, and when you started Chandramukhi, he had become Thalaivar. The journey was from Rajanikanth to superstar to Thalaivar. From Chandramukhi to Keselan, has he grown even bigger?
He has become an international star. Today I get calls from Germany, America, etc telling me about how good the songs are. Do you know why the national television channels ask for my interviews? Not because I am P Vasu but because they want me to talk about the superstar!
Like everyone said at the audio release function, are you waiting for the Silver Jubilee of Kuselan and Kathanayugudu?
Yes, definitely. It is a film that has a strong story. I have written a dialogue in the film, that a child can be brought up without his mother but a man cannot grow up without a friend.
When you come out of the theatre, you will not think you saw a superstar's film. You will remember him as an old friend of yours, and you will have tears in your eyes.
