Shankar says that Three Idiots made him forget Endhiran

The super hit Hindi film Three Idiots is being remade in Tamil with the title Nanban. The film which is being directed by Shankar has Vijay, Jeeva, Srikanth, Ileana and Sathyaraj in the cast. Shankar who has completed his second schedule is getting ready for the third schedule.

Shankar while speaking to the media said," Initially I was having the intention not to direct remake films. Three Idiots broke this policy. I am directing this film with much dedication than any other films. My actors are also like this.

I had gone to Lonavala near Poona for the shooting of Endhiran. But I could not get permission to shoot there. So in order to relax I went to a nearby theatre to watch the Hindi film Three Idiots. Though I was watching the film, my mind was always thinking about the sequence that was to be shot for Endhiran on that day. But slowly I started forgetting this and started involving in Three Idiots. I was fully absorbed in the story, romance and comedy of that film. Only after the film was over, the memory of Endhiran came to me. At that time itself I decided to produce this film under S Banner.

I never thought that I will direct this film. There is no difficulty in directing this film though there are many characters. Director Rajkumar Hirani has proved that it is possible to tell a story which has many characters through the film Three Idiots. I am very thankful to him at this moment. Many are telling the trailer of Sharukh Khan’s R A One is similar to Endhiran. Since I had spoken to Sharukh about Robot, there might have been an impact. I have not thought of Endhiran 2. I will be concentrating on that after Nanban is over."

Bala’s comedy

Bala while speaking to the media said," So far I have directed four films. There will be some kind of problems with the producers of these films. But from the day I started this film until the day I completed it, there were no intervention or any other kind of problems with the producer Kalpathi Agoram. The main reason for this film to happen is Arya.

He had coordinated with Vishal and producers A G S and also came forward to act in this film. " Since Vishal and Arya are close friends for the last 15 years, they both shared the screen without any ego.

Vishal suffered a lot because he was donning the role of squint eyed person. Arya is the person who pacified him.Bala has sung the old philosophical songs and told Na Muthukumar t pen a song similar to that. G M Kumar has brought out his acting similar to that of Shivaji Ganeshan. Bala says that he has acted well than Vishal or Arya.

Ambika is praising Bala. She says that she has never done such a role in her career. Yuvan Shankar Raja has taken much number of days to compose the tunes and for re-recording. The comedy filled film will fetch Dialogist Ramakrishnan a good name.
