Actor Arun Vijay recently starred in Sarov Shanmugham directorial 'Oh My Dog'. He opened up about his journey while making the film.
Actor Arun Vijay바카라s 바카라Oh My Dog바카라 released on April 21 on Amazon Prime. Tamil actor Vijaykumar, his son Arun Vijay and grandson Arnav play prominent roles in the movie. The entire process began when actor Suriya sent an Instagram video to director Sarov Shanmugham.
Shanmugham had always dreamt of making a film for children, according to Fiirstpost.com.
No one was ready to produce a film for children so he was struggling to get a decent budget. He added, 바카라I waited for a long time, and then pitched the film to 2D in 2018. Things fell in place almost immediately.바카라
The film is based off an agility competition and features a lot of children, sports and dogs. The film shot with more than 100 native and foreign breeds of dogs. Shanmugham was doubtful if Arun Vijay would agree to be in a children바카라s film, 바카라He did, and getting all three generations of the family in my film was an added bonus. I did not even dream of that.바카라 said Shanmugham.
As for Arun Vijay, his biggest attraction about the film were the dogs, 바카라I love animals and I love kids, and I바카라ve never really worked with them in a film before, so this was such a good opportunity,바카라 says Arun, who adds that working on the film taught everyone the value of patience. 바카라You can still instruct kids, but dogs dance to their own beat. You have to be patient to get them in that zone, and certain shots have to be candid. You cannot rush things and you have to be alert, yet patient. It was a great experience.바카라
Arun Vijay바카라s son Arnav also loves dogs and his character in the film is similar to how he is in real. 바카라He바카라s a naughty kid and loves dogs and that바카라s all he had to do on screen too. And, I was surprised that he never looked at appa or me as his grandfather and father when it was time to act. He happily slid into the role of a co-actor. But then, even I바카라ve been like that when working with my father. Off sets, he바카라s appa, but on set, he바카라s a co-star. I바카라m happiest that appa and Arnav are sharing screen space.바카라 Says Arun Vijay.
Apparently, Vijaykumar was more confident that his grandson will pull off the role, Arun Vijay said, 바카라They spend a lot of time together and my father just knew that he would be comfortable acting. As a father and actor, I kept my distance on set, because I did not want to influence my son in any way. I wanted his innocence to be captured. He still lisps, and I think that is a huge plus too for this character.바카라
Arnav also commented on his role, saying, 바카라I also love dogs and enjoy playing with my friends, and I am also a little naughty, I was very comfortable working with appa and thatha and they taught me some tricks of acting which were very helpful. But the best part about doing this movie is working with so many animals,바카라 he smiles.
Through 바카라Oh My Dog바카라, Arun Vijay made an attempt to reach a different section of audiences. The actor says, 바카라I felt very comfortable with the team, and I trust Arivazhagan. OTT and films are a different ballgame, but I see that OTT is offering many performers a good chance to explore what they are capable of. You get the space to try different things.바카라
Shanmugham added, 바카라As a creator, I knew there is a big vacuum for this genre across India. The last big children바카라s film I remember is My Dear Kuttichaathan. I wanted to make a film rooted in India, speaking about our bonds and family structures, our street vendors, basically something with the fragrance of our lives. I wanted to make a film kids will enjoy, and I wanted to make it with good production values.바카라
He adds that the film also marks the beginning of his new journey, 바카라I came to Chennai to study literature at Presidency, then I joined and discontinued a degree in law, I worked with filmmakers like Gandhi Krishna and Vasanthabalan and Suseendran before branching out on my own. I바카라m 46 now, and finally my dream is coming true.바카라
