Pokkiri
team leaves for Australia just for Asin’s
sake
Dec

Shoots
of Pokkiri have been progressing in
top gear in and around Chennai city.
Now, news has it that the movie is
as good as finished except for a few
dance numbers. To can a couple of
these songs in breathtaking locales
in Australia – to abide by the
tacit policy of Tamil cinema –
the crew has embarked on a flight
from Chennai Airport last evening.
Since
Asin had a small mishap at the sets of Pokkiri,
it is difficult to shoot a dance sequence indoors
as close-up shots would reveal Asin writhing in
pain. Hence the crew has planned to shoot dance
scenes in Australia where long shots can be combined
with picturesque greenery of the country side
wherein facial expressions can be done away with.
Besides Asin, the crew included Vijay, dance master
Raju Sundaram, and cinematographer Nirav Shah.
Surprisingly, the unit did not comprise of Prabhudeva
the director of Pokkiri. The ace dancer seemed
to have entrusted the responsibility to his big
bro Raju Sundaram. The crew's homecoming is expected
on December 17 th after the completion of the
shoots.
Pokkiri has raised high expectations among Vijay
fans and the audio release of the movie is slated
in the near future. Mani Sharma scores music for
Pokkiri.
