Spyder director AR Murugadoss: Ready to make a movie with both Vijay and Mahesh Babu
AR Murugadoss is extremely tensed yet excited as his upcoming film, Spyder, starring Mahesh Babu is just three days away from release. However, when asked if he thinks he is ready to cast two superstars - Vijay and Mahesh Babu - together in a Tamil film, the director said, 'I am ready'.
Mahesh Babu’s debut in Tamil film has already made his fans extremely excited about the upcoming film, Spyder, which is going to have a billingual release on September 27. At a press conference in Chennai, the entire team of the film got together and expressed how the film is special for each one of them. However, at a point AR Murugadoss expressed his nervousness about the project but also said that he is confident that he has been able to put his best foot forward as a director.
“I can hear my own heartbeat, with the release in three days. I have worked to my best for this movie. Every director wants to give something new and I started with the same motion and I believe I have managed to do it,” the director said.
He continued on his choice of casting Mahesh in the film, “I have been wanting to work with Mahesh for long. Heroism is very natural when he does it, that’s a quality I really like. We need heroism on screen for a mass film, but the balance is also equally important. My son after fives years shouldn’t ask me why I have done a movie like this. The movie should feel good even after a few years. There is a need to make movies like that and Mahesh is a perfect fit. Making a bilingual is a very challenging task and I have to thank Mahesh for his co-operation.”
When questioned if he would like to collaborate with Tamil superstar Vijay and Mahesh for a project in future, AR Murugadoss replied with much confidence that he is ready for such a film. But he also explained his struggle, “I am ready to make a movie with both Vijay and Mahesh Babu but the screen space should be apt. We don’t know the response we would get if Mahesh Babu has two songs in Tamil and two songs for Vijay in Telugu. But I would be happy to do it.”
Rakul Preet, who is working with both the director and actor for the first time, said that this project is nothing less than a dream come true for her. She said, “I’m really happy to be coming back to Tamil films with this movie. My character is of Charlie, a very clumsy but sweet character.”
