The Deiva Thirumagal special screening for Behindwoods.com contest winners was a very successful and well-organized event. There were two shows – one at 11:00 am and the other at 3:00 pm. In between the shows, the film’s lead star Vikram, director Vijay, UTV Dhananjayan and baby Sara made a special appearance for the guests, took photos with them and answered their queries about the movie.

Vikram was at his best, down-to-earth as usual and was interacting with everyone, cracked jokes and made the audience go gaga.

At the start of the event, Mr. G Dhananjayan said that he always had a special soft corner for Behindwoods.com. Since Deiva Thirumagal was movie for the family, he said he wanted the family audiences to see it and therefore specifically arranged for two shows.

The response of the show was simply overwhelming and the standing ovation at the end of the show proved it beyond doubt. The director said that Deiva Thirumagal got the same response at the multiplexes, at the theatres, and at all the centers irrespective of it being A, B, or C centre.

The question hour was very interesting with Vikram and director Vijay answering all the queries patiently. When someone from the audience wanted to know how Vikram perfected the character Krishna he played in the film, the star replied that he was at the Vidya Sagar School for Special Children and studied the behavior of a number of children there for over a month and imitated their behavior.

On what made Vijay to even think of making a movie like Deiva Thirumagal, he said that he wanted to give such a film for the Tamil audience. The director revealed that when he had the script ready for the film, he decided that only Vikram could pull it off. He added that if the star was not available for the role, then the film would never have taken-off.

Vijay justified the climax by saying that Krishna wanted his child to have a better future and understood that she would get it only if she lived with her maternal grandfather.

Both Vijay and Vikram said that there could be a sequel to Deiva Thirumagal where Nila would grow up to be a doctor and return to her dad. Vikram jocularly remarked that they are waiting for little Sara to grow up so that she could essay the role.
