I have a winning alliance with Bhavani Shankar. A producer will give his contribution 100% if he trusts the director.
I don’t know how many years later I will get a character like the one I got in this film. It is a great gift for an actor to get such a role. Big thanks to director Bala for that. He is the treasure of Tamil cinema. Check out his short film called Chailakatha, which he directed 12 years ago. What you enjoyed with two characters in Block, you can enjoy with ten characters in it. He is such a talented person.”
When director Balasubramani speaks,
“First of all thanks to the journalists who brought this film to the public. Although this film is a bit confusing story, they have perfectly created the interest of the fans to see what is in this film. A comparison of the original set for this film and the set you see in the film will tell you how amazing art director Satish’s work is. Even though it was a single fight scene, Metro Mahesh had not only understood the double action perfectly but also done it technically. Even though we thought that we had taken some scenes too much in the shoot, editor Philomin Raj had edited the film in the right meter by selecting the right ones beautifully and predicting what the fans will enjoy. As for the cinematographer, we both became one on set. Sam C.S. had given the background music to give a different feeling in every place be it the scenes or the action scenes while watching the film. The contribution of other technical artists is perfectly included.
More than an actor, Vivek Prasanna has been traveling with me as a friend for over ten years. Actor Jeeva is the main reason why this film has been able to reach the mass audience today. Priya Bhavani Shankar is not here. However, his cooperation for this film is very high. It is enough to explain to Jiva sir less than explaining to him. will understand. If we have given this film in a quality way today, it is entirely due to the producers SR Prabhu, SR Prakash Babu and Thanga Prabhakaran, I was determined not to miss that honor as all the films that have already come out in Potential Company were hits.
While producer SR Prabhu speaks,
“We take a little time to shoot each film. It will automatically adjust for each image. ‘Black’ is a film that took a little too long. This script came to us in 2018 itself. There was also an interest to take a picture. At the same time, director Bala has written it beautifully so that the viewers of this film here in our village will believe it without wanting to take the original film as it is. The problem with making this film is that none of the costs involved are visible. There were a lot of things like taking too many days to go to the shoot, making sure that there were 40 minutes of graphic scenes that didn’t even look like graphics.
We are making this film because we understand this story, but we thought that the people who watch the film will understand the same. The reason is that fans definitely need support to take up new ventures like this. So we got the hope that we can release this film even when Rajini sir’s film comes due to the faith we had in them. It has also reached fans through media friends.
As we thought that the fans will be very excited in all these places while watching the film, if it resonated in theaters as well, it is because of this entire film crew who gave it so beautifully. Everyone said that especially the double action fight scene was good. Many thanks to Metro Mahesh who created it. It was only when actor Jeeva came in and agreed to act in such a thriller story that this film got a completeness,” he said.
As actor Jeeva speaks,
“While I was on a film training in Hyderabad, I got information that producer S.R. Prabhu sir wanted to tell me a story. The director himself came there and narrated the story. I have a special look in it. That film is just a tight fit. Then I told the producer that for the last five years I have been acting in the same special appearance in all the films.. Tell me a different special story. After that P.R.O. It was through Johnson sir that I heard the story of this block film. From their talk, it was felt that they wanted to film different stories and give them to the people in a way that people would like.
After signing the contract for this film, I traveled with Nashikar Karthi Sir once in a plane
When Lai told him that the potential company would not normally release a film, he said that they would release it only after discussing it thoroughly with all parties. But not only during the release but also before and during the shooting, the carving work is going on. According to them, they give more importance to the script than the fame of the actors.
If I had told the same in our Supergood company, my father would have commented that it looks like I have changed the reels. When some people narrate the story and take it as a film, it becomes a psycho love story. And for actors like us, there will be a pressure from the distributors to want songs and stunts. Films like Ram, Gattu Tamil changed me as an actor, but when I went to see them in theaters, the response was less. That’s why I changed my route a bit and started acting in films like E and Go. But nowadays they have started making such films. In that way, they thought that this block film should be made as a film that makes people think. We have made a complex story as simple as possible. Thanks to director Bala for that. Haven’t seen his short yet. If I had seen that, I think I probably would have finished this movie earlier.
I am an intellectual, so I cannot make a film as if I am making the people who watch the film an intellectual. A person lifting a bundle in the market will ask what makes me think so much when he sees a film like this. But they too have changed today. Director Bala has given them a suitable model to watch happily in theatres. Everyone is asking when are you shooting the second part of this film and why even in our house. This company has signed me for two films. So they should just take it.
Earlier there was a requirement to act only in commercial films. That’s why I had a few meltdowns. If I’m taking a risk to do a film like this after a film like Go, that decline could also be a reason. We stand in front of the camera in the morning with the intention that every film should go well. People who have seen the film said that you are acting well. I was acting normal. So the film crew is the reason for these praises.
We shot this shoot at Coastal Paradise on East Coast Road. After acting in this film, he did not go to that side for a year. Because it was like being stuck in a loop everyday. After that, even when my friends called me, I told them that I did not come. But I request the producers to hold a successful meet between us in the same coastal paradise. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a success meet like this. Many more good films should be made to celebrate this success meet. Moreover, I want to act in more films with Potential Company.
