The rent alone for the camera
is said to run into lakhs.
This put off producers AVM
who were already a bit concerned
about the budget that was
crossing their estimates.
They hesitated to hire the
camera.
This was when Rajinikanth
stepped in and expressed his
faith in Shankar and his skills
to do a good job. He convinced
AVM that the money spent on
the camera would be worth
every penny and that the results
on screen would be excellent.
