Director Hari Interview Questions

Hari is the director of the masses, and has an awesome strike rate at the box-office. Last Diwali (2007), he stole the box-office with his Surya-Asin starrer Vel>, which became the ultimate winner. This Diwali, his Bharath starrer Seval is releasing against the mighty Ajit’s Aegan. On the eve of the release of his film Hari spoke to Sify.com

Are you getting the jitters that Seval has been pitched against Aegan ?
You know that I’m a cool guy. I’m very confident of my film because it is based on a solid script with lots of emotions laced with entertainment. My audiences are sure going to love Seval. My producer M.A Jinnah is very happy with the film. All areas have been sold at a reasonable price.

What is the basic story of the film?
I can’t reveal anything about the story. For me story and presentation are of prime importance. All that I can say is that there is something for everyone in this family film.

How has Bharat shaped out as an action hero?
It would give him an all-new image. I have seen to it that the story and action are intervined. He has done a good job. In the first half his comedy scenes with Vadivel will bring the house down. Bharath has potential to be a big commercial hero.

Why do you go for short titles like Seval, Vel etc?
I want my films to reach across to the masses. The titles in my films are kept simple, as the common man should understand them. It should be taken from our daily use and easy to remember.

What next?
I will be starting work on my next film Singam with Surya, which will start rolling some time next year.
