Sudha Kongara talks about Akshay Kumar and Suriya
Sarfira is all set to release in theatres on July 12 and also stars Radhika Madan, Paresh Rawal.
Akshay Kumar will be soon seen in Sarfira which is a Hindi remake of Suriya starrer Soorarai Pottru. Well, the Hindi film is also being directed by the same director Sudha Kongara. Recently, in a conversation with Galatta Plus, she compared both Akshay Kumar and Suriya’s working approaches for the scenes.
Sudha was quoted saying, “Akshay sir, he is a far more outgoing and ebullient person compared to Suriya. Suriya is more intense, tight, quite and gives that kind of a performance. The scenes they shot for is so different from each other. The proposal scene that we shot, Akshay is flamboyant, but with Suriya, its lot more reserved. So naturally the characters become different. So it was good for me.”
“I think the processes were different but where it landed was the same. Because I know Suriya is a lot more prepared and he gets better with time. He keeps telling me I get better and better with each take. But still we did just a couple of takes for Suriya, because we rehearsed it so much. Whereas with Akshay sir, he always kept telling me that my first shot is my best shot. But, no. I realised as he goes on with more takes, he gets better and better. I think we took about 5-6 takes. And he has a process where he shuts off from everything. He just wants to know the mood of the scene, the pre-scene, and post-scene, and he has his own methods of navigating it. He is never wrong. Maybe in the beginning, when we started to shoot, he was smiling way more than he was supposed to… he was looking a lot more happier than he should be… but, he settled in,” she added.
The film takes us through the life of a common man as he navigates the business world by starting a low-cost aviation company. As per the trailer, the film will be a story of a common man’s determination against monetary and societal barriers. Akshay Kumar says in the trailer, “Main aam aadmi ke liye cost nahi, caste barrier bhi todna chahta hoon.”
The film all set to release in theatres on July 12 and also stars Radhika Madan, Paresh Rawal.
