He said in an interview regarding giving an opportunity to Vadivelu – Vadivelu did not come to me asking for an opportunity. When I’m a producer, I use a variety of promotional strategies. As a producer I had a fan base.
Married to a boy named Ilango. He should take the thali and give it to you. He was madly in love that marriage would happen only then. For that I went to Madurai by train. Night train. We go together in the morning.
The marriage ends well. After this, train back to Chennai at night. So, in the meantime, Elango sent Vadivelu’s groom to help me speak. Vadivelu is the one who came like that.
GP Muthu, who was in Bigg Boss for 14 days, did he get that much salary?
Vadivel told me in the hotel room, ‘Sir, we will do this in Madurai, we have done this, we will do this in Munich road and we will do this’. I smiled enjoying it. Then he did not ask me to act in the cinema. That thought didn’t occur to me either.
A bold update with a massive poster.. Ajith fans are blowing up Twitter!
Ilango sends Vadivelu to time pass. That was it for the day. Two or three years after this incident, I am making a picture in my Rasa’s mind. There was a character who appeared in two small scenes. We thought of casting a newcomer in this. Then I remembered Vadivelu.
Whenever he writes to me, he seals his name and phone number. Usually the letters I receive only have the from address. But Ilango will send it sealed.
I was shooting for Dindigul when the idea came up to cast Vadivelu in a film. From there I called the Chennai office and asked them to collect the letter. It will be 10 pm.
The people in the office found the letter and called Ilango and told him that the boy who was sent to entertain Rajkiran in Madurai should be in Dindigul tomorrow at 7 am. This information was conveyed to Ilango at 12 midnight.
Vadivelu came in the morning. In the film, we had 2 scenes where he asks fortune telling and takes a beating from Goundamani. We had narrated a dialogue to Vadivelu while taking a beating from Kaundamani. But when Kaundamani steps on it, he shouts, ‘I’m going to put silk where it doesn’t belong’. That was the word he used. That word was delightful.
After the shooting, Vadivel said that he will go to the village. I told him, let’s go dark and we created extra scenes for him, including the Boda Boda Punnaku song. Rajkiran said.
