“WAS IT A CONSCIOUS CHOICE TO CLASH WITH REMO?”

Kavalai Vendam featuring Jiiva, Kajal Agarwal, Bobby Simhaa, Sunaina, RJ Balaji and others is directed by Deekay. The film has wrapped up shooting and is announced to hit the screens on the 7th October. Deekay shares his experiences with behindwoods:

How is it to complete a film within 51 days with such an ensemble cast?
I am very happy to have each one on board. There were many changes initially, like my heroine, from Keerthy Suresh to Kajal Agarwal and from Nikki Galrani to Sunaina.  But I am glad I am able to bring the best on board. I am really thankful to each one of them as they literally glorified my project. The shoot is over and I really miss working with them. They were like an extended family. I am looking forward to the release now.

Jiiva and Kajal
They are my close buddies. They have done a fabulous job and they both are extremely good actors. I would love to work with them again.

Bobby Simhaa and Sunaina
In Kavalai Vendam, every character is equally important. For Bobby Simha, it would be like a game changer. He has played an entirely different character in my film. Be it his looks or character, he has molded himself totally to the part he played.  

Sunaina is a wonderful, beautiful and a talented actress. I feel she is the most underutilized actress.

Was it a conscious choice to clash with Remo on October 7th?
It was not my call, but my producer’s. I am excited. It is all about healthy competition. At the end of the day, I am confident about my project. I wish Remo all the luck and love.

USP of Kavalai Vendam
It is a wonderful script, something people would love to watch. They would relate to and laugh their hearts out. I try to incorporate comedy in my films as I feel people are stressed beyond words and I want my films to be like a therapy to them. Kavalai Vendam will be a proper package of entertainment.

Future projects
I have a couple of scripts ready but it will be different from my earlier work. I would make it official post Kavalai Vendam.
