CHENNAI: As Vishal 34 that will be helmed by Hari was announced by makers Karthik Subburaj's Stone Bench produced by Kaarthekeyen Santhanam and Zee Studios, Vishal and Hari talk to DT Next about why their third combination after Thaamirabharani and Poojai will be special and what it holds for the audience.
Hari is on fire; This project will be special for him: Vishal
"People have been saying that Hari and I have come together for the third time and there are expectations. But, this film will be special beyond the combination and the business part of it. In this film, the story comes first, then the combination, and then the business. Summa Hari-Vishal combination kedayadhu (This project is not merely about our combination). If we are coming together for the third time, it means that this script is even better than the previous projects — Thaamirabharani and Poojai. I have been working with people who are raring to go and Hari is one. When I listened to the script, the first thing that came to my mind was that Hari is on fire. The film will be high on action and I can’t say if this will be a special film for me but this will surely be a special film for Hari. You will see a different Hari in Vishal 34. Not only the script, I like the way things fell into place for this film in terms of production, direction, and casting. This project is just meant to happen and if you want me to sum up this film in a word, I would call it a feast. Dhilip Subbarayan is the stunt choreographer and this film will be a delight for the movie buffs,"
Vishal 34 is an action film with strong elements, says Hari
"Thaamirabharani had family sentiments to it and Poojai was an emotional-action film. Vishal 34 is a strong action film with strong elements in the content I would say get ready to witness Vishal at his best in terms of action. I am always cautious when it comes to scripts, in this, I decided to go strong. My definition of strong here are action and content. The action in Vishal 34 is about a man who is in a rage. In previous films, you would have seen my protagonists who are cops and boy-next-door characters with genuine anger. Here the hero will be in a rage, which will be justified. You won't get the gist of the story looking at the posters. There will be enough twists and turns in the plot."
