“It was a pleasant surprise when Rajini himself
called us” - Prabhu
Rajinikant’s co-star was Prabhu in Guru Sishyan.
The comedy timing among them is still remembered by many a
movie goers. Fifteen years back Sivaji productions signed
Rajinikant and the choice was P Vasu as director. Once again
Rajinikant- P Vasu and Prabhu come again in Chandramukhi.
Prabhu speaks about his film as an actor and producer.
How does it feel to
be a producer of Rajini’s film Chandramukhi?
It was a pleasant surprise when Rajini himself called us and
offered to do this film and that too in the Golden Jubilee
year of Sivaji Productions. It was very nice of Rajini. He
is a wonderful person. Apart from this our entire family is
touched by the gesture of Rajini and Kamal. Rajini before
the pooja took the blessings of my mother. Likewise only on
the previous night we phoned Kamalhassan and told him about
the launch. He flew in only for the function from Mumbai and
went back by the return flight. He has never missed a family
function in our house.
Were you cast in the
film because you are the producer?
No! Director would never cast a person just because
he happens to be the producer. Vasu who has written the story
felt that I would fit the role well. Moreover it was Rajini
who has suggested my name for the character. I feel so happy
that Rajini chose me. Yet another aspect is that I vibe well
with Vasu, he knows my plus and minus points and this would
be a help to him while improvising the script.
Heard you are coming as hubby of Simran?
You are slowly making me tell the story. Honestly I know only
the outline. The script is Vasu’s and you will have
to ask him.
