Going for a re-shoot is uncomfortable for everybody involved in a film — for the producer it is about extra money and for actors it is about dates.
And film crew generally don’t admit openly about a re-shoot, as people would mistake it for poor planning.
But, director Ezhil recently revealed in a press meet that he shot the first 22 minutes of his upcoming film, Desingu Raja, for the second time, as he was not satisfied with the footage available.
“I too had fears if the producer (R Madhan) would pay the crew for the additional nine days and even arranged money from a different source. But he never raised a question about my decision and the actors complied too,” said Ezhil.
Desingu Raja has actors Vimal and Bindu Madhavi in lead roles and a string of comedians including Charlie, Soori, Singampuli and Chams.
Actors Vennira Aadai Moorthi, Vinu Chakravarthi, Vadivukarasi and Vanitha are returning to silverscreen after a hiatus. Actor Baanu of Moondru Per Moondru Kaadhal has shaken a leg in a kuthu number.
Imman has composed the songs and the movie is now ready for release.
