*“Ajith sir would always say – My fans expect something best out of me,
and I shouldn’t cheat them with dupes in action sequences” – Actor Aarav*
The entire K-Town was thunderstruck by the one particular BTS sequence of the car toppling across the deserted highway of Azerbaijan. Those few moments left the whole industry in shock and escalated the commitment of the entire “Vidaamuyarchi” team to make sure that the scene brought out the best cinematic experience for the audience in the theatres.
Significantly, it was Ajith Kumar who safely controlled the Hummer, thereby ensuring that Aarav wasn’t prone to any physical excruciations.
Actor Aarav recollects those moments stating, “It was a very well-planned shot, but something happened unexpectedly.However, what happened after the accident was something amazing. After thirty minutes, we decided to resume the shoot and completed the sequence. Ajith sir didn’t want to leave me alone.. He drove me to the hospital and was relieved only after seeing the X-ray report. He hugged me and apologized, leaving me emotionally speechless as I witnessed his humanity. The very next day, he showed up well before the shooting began to ensure that the team wouldn’t be using any stand-ins for the action sequence.. When I asked him, he said, “My fans expect something best from me, and I shouldn’t cheat them with dupes in action sequences.” At this point, I realised, why he has millions and billions of fans adoring him.”
Vidaamuyarchi is all set for the worldwide theatrical release on February 6. The film is directed by Magizh Thirumeni and is produced by Lyca Productions Subaskaran.
