The hero of the film ‘Yogi’
speaks his mind on the delay in
completing the project and the huge
expense incurred for this project.
Ameer said that everyone is asking
the same question and one has to
experience it to know the hardships
faced. The director-turned-actor
laments on the difficulties the
unit confronted in getting permission
to shoot in Chennai.
A few minutes walk in the Chennai
City Center alone cost a few lakhs,
he said. The Corporation of Chennai
which refused initial permission
for the shooting, later agreed for
Rs. 40,000 for one hour. After getting
permission, the authorities denied
clearance to shoot in the day time
and asked the team to shoot at night.
This scene alone took five hours,
complains Ameer. Similarly, the
shops also charged exorbitant amount.
The toilet scene was shot at the
Satyam theatre complex which was
again charged and this is the reason
for the high production cost, states
the director.
The movie is expected to be released
for Diwali.
Speaking on music director Yuvan
Shankar Raja, Ameer was all praises
for him and he called him a ‘modern
Illayarajaa’. Ameer says that
the composer is able to bring the
mood into the song. Yogi will have
four songs out of which one is a
promotional song.
Ameer has rendered his voice for
one song in Yogi. Though this is
not the first time the director
will sing; as in his earlier venture
Paruthiveeran, Ameer has lent his
voice. Snehan also has voiced a
song starting with the lyrics, ‘Seermevum
Koovathila’. Ameer also said
that Yuvan has composed only one
tune per song as always and this
has worked out in Yogi too.
