The problem arises when you give the best in your first film. I don't know whether I can achieve what I have achieved in my first film. I don't know whether I will be able to give them a film like Subramaniapuram again. But the success of the film and further expectations make one a bit scared. I had to really struggle to make the film. Now in Tamil, Subramaniapuram has become a cult film. Many people tell me that if somebody mentions the word friends, they suddenly think of Subramaniapuram. Even after so many months, people are carrying the memories of Subramaniapuram with them, which is very heartening. But then there is a lot of difference in the characters you see in both the films. But my argument is that there is nothing wrong in getting influenced by a good film. I also feel maybe because I am a common factor in Subramaniapuram and Naadodigal, you feel both look the same. Bala, Ameer, myself, Samuthirakarani are all from the same school of filmmaking. I don't look at it as a bad thing at all. Similarly, if Subramaniapuram is a good film, is there anything wrong in getting influenced by that? I feel it is good to be influenced by good films and good directors. Do you agree with this?Īll of us are heavily influenced by the way Ameer, Bala etc made films. Many people feel that Nadodigal has the Subramaniapuram influence in style, execution etc. I didn't have to build up my body so that I look muscular enough to hit ten men! I looked like any other man you see in real life. Samuthirakani wanted me to look the way I am as Karuna is a very ordinary being. In Subramaniapuram, I had the 80s style while in Nadodigal, I look what I am in real life. Why did you decide not to have any physical change in Nadodigal? You look the same with the same hairstyle and beard. Luckily, Subramaniapuram was accepted as a film and the public too accepted me as an actor. I told them that if the audience accepted me as an actor in Subramaniapuram, I would definitely act and if not, I wouldn't. It was then that both Kathir and Samuthirakani insisted that I act in the main role. He and my cameraman Kathir felt that we should not be producing our own films all the time.

He said, you are already suffering with Subramaniapuram and I don't want to burden you again. I read his script and told him t that as I had a production house, I would produce it. As we were doing the post production work of the film, he was making rounds of various producers but didn't get anyone to produce his story. The beginning was when Samuthirakani was acting in Subramaniapuram. What was the reason why you accepted Samuthirakani's offer to make you the main hero in Nadodigal? When I spoke to you after Subramaniapuram was released, you said you acted in the film because you didn't get any other actor.

But yes, what surprised me was the kind of opening it got all over Tamil Nadu, be it a city or a town or a village. Were you surprised by this response?Īfter the way the people of Tamil Nadu accepted Subramaniapuram, I always felt there would be a good opening for Nadodigal. Your film Nadodigal as the hero had an excellent opening throughout Tamil Nadu, more than many big heroes have had in recent times. Now, Nadodigal, in which he is the main protagonist, has been released to excellent response.īasking in the success of Nadodigal, a happy Sasikumar spoke to Shobha Warrier about the various hats he wears these days and his second directorial venture. The film he produced - Pasanga - was not only critically acclaimed but also did very well at the box office. The film he directed - Subramaniapuram - has become a cult film in Tamil. Sasikumar has become a man with the Midas touch.
