When we come across the cinematic terms like ‘Festival film’, we are obviously taken to the zone of colourful visuals and the magician behind the lens. In all such stronger possibilities, cinematographer Vetri has been holding a decorous position under spotlights for presenting a colourful trailer of Ajith Kumar starrer Viswasam.  While the trailer comprises of so many mass moments, Vetri reveals what was the most challenging part in this film. 

“Of course, the introduction scene of Ajith sir was the most challenging thing. It happens that every filmmaker working with him would give different introduction scenes that have massy and classy appeals. However, when it comes to Siva, the situations were entirely different as he has already worked with him in three films.  So we had to go through lots of discussions with the team to try something different in Viswasam,” says Vetri. With a much curious desire, we tend to get something more interesting about Ajith Kumar’s introduction and he says, “For the moment I can say is that it will be a worthy treat for fans and audiences. This drama involving the way everyone waits for him, his arrival and what he does after it will involve enjoyable moments.” 

When it comes to trio combo of Ajith Kumar-Siva-Vetri, ‘Theatre Moments’ become the top priority of fans. In this regards, Vetri opines, “Yes, there are lots of theatre moments in the film for fans to whistle and celebrate. But as far as I have seen, it’s been a long time that Ajith sir had essayed such an entertaining role in the past 10-12 years. Even when it comes to our previous films – Veeram, Vedalam and Vivegam, his roles were sketched with seriousness. Whereas Viswasam will have him unleashing the entertainer avatar, where fans will have a blast and general audiences will love him.He had also displayed his emotional angle to such an extent that iam very sure the audience will feel connected to the protagonist "Thookku Durai" emotionally too. 

As the story is set against both urban and rural backdrops, cinematographer Vetri emphasizes an interesting fact. “Since, the story is placed in two different backdrops, we have used different colour scheme. When it comes to action sequences, the most challenging part was the rain episode and I believe audiences will enjoy it.” 

Sathya Jyothi Films has bankrolled Viswasam featuring Ajith Kumar and Nayanthara in lead roles. With D Imman’s musical chartbuster and scintillating trailer already capturing the spotlights, the film is scheduled for worldwide release on January 10.

“More than challenges, I would say, we had lots of responsibilities as every action sequence has a concept. In fact, every action block happens to be a point, where the plot progresses into next stage. So we had to aware about how we carry it.  Thanks to Siva, as he was clear about his ideas when writing the script itself and this made the work easier,” rejoices Stunt choreographer Dhilip Subbarayan the proud stunt master of "Viswasam" says, “There will lots of newness in the film’s action sequences.” 

While speaking about Ajith Kumar, he opines, “He is polite, humble and a perfect Gentleman. He is always admired by every stuntman for the way he treats them with respect. When it comes to profession, he never interferes or involves into our ideas and is always ready to go by our decisions.”  So, how about the massy rain fight we saw in trailer that everyone is raving about. “Yes, as soon as Siva had opened up about this action sequence, I was so much surprised. Although, there are lots of raciness and enthrallments for audiences with Ajith sir’s bike stunts and stunts, it holds emotional aspects too. I cannot reveal more on this, but it will be a great experience to watch it in theatres.” 

Getting on to speak about the other action sequences, especially the one we saw in the backdrops of toilet, Dhilip Subbarayan brings up interesting information. “It had some challenges are the space was very much limited and we had to set up the entire drama within it. More than all, it was really a risky one as it was Tiles floors, which were slippery. We aren’t supposed to dry it as the continuity would be missed out for the next shot. So we had to proceed with it though it was very challenging. But the entire team was committed and it helped us accomplish over it.” 

Bankrolled by Sathya Jyothi Films, Siva has wielded megaphone for this massy family entertainer scheduled for worldwide release on January 10.  Nayanthara, Jagapathi, Vivek, Thambi Ramaiah, Kovai Sarala, Yogi Babu, Baby Anikha and many more prominent actors are a part of this film.

Definitely, ‘Editors’ become the first audience or critic of movies as they happen to get a clear picture of what’s a film as raw footage and edited version. Being a rapid runner on the front with lots of projects, Editor Ruben feels something special about Ajith Kumar’s Viswasam.  

“More than claiming this to be a mass movie, Viswasam is a beautiful family entertainer for this festive season. It has all elements to serve as sumptuous feast for this season that everyone will enjoy,” says Editor Ruben, who feels working in Viswasam was a challenging process.  Briefing this context, he adds, “Yes, the story goes through lots of raciness, action and emotional phases, which accordingly demanded certain transitions. Especially, to bring up the final version trailer was much more challenging as the intention was that the expectations among crowds shouldn’t be neither high nor low, but balanced. I had to work on lots of versions that followed by the suggestions of director Siva and producers. We are now happy as a team that we have delivered it accordingly to taste of audiences.” 

So what’s favourite part of Viswasam liked by Ruben? Ask him and he instantly says, “The action sequences are fantastically done, especially the rain fight followed by another one in second half, where Ajith sir would bash the opponents with fists and in between would utter some massy lines… It’s not just going to be mass and action elements, but I feel and believe, overall Viswasam will be a delighting and good experience for family audiences.” 

Scheduled for worldwide release on January 10, Viswasam is directed by Siva and is produced by Sathya Jyothi Films.
