Vinayan’s period drama 19th century protagonist Aratupuzha Velayudha Panicker is the kind of role any actor would want to play. Siju Wilson portrays the social reformer Velayudpanik. Siju has trained for a long time for the character which has many action sequences and horse racing. After the release of the film, Siju received an outpouring of appreciation. Now Vinayan is talking about Siju’s training and dedication for the film. Vinayan says that some director friends asked him whether the scenes where Siju is riding a horse in the film was shot with the help of a rope. Vinayan has also released a video of Siju naturally riding a horse on social media.
Some of my Malayalam director friends asked me if Siju Wilson is riding a horse with the help of a rope. Siju, who had no experience of riding a horse, was able to easily jump on a horse and move fast on it because of Siju’s hard training. One result of this is that the people of Kerala have unanimously accepted the action hero Siju Wilson, Vinayan noted along with the video.
