Shankar opens up on songs of Sivaji By Behindwoods News Bureau. April 12, 2007
There is an assortment of conjectures which are doing brisk business in the media trying to outline the story of Sivaji. But director Shankar asserts that the actual film would be way ahead and beyond all conceivable imaginations. In an interview to a weekly, [rajini] he states, "People suspect that I have used graphics techniques while filming the song 'sahara pookkal poothado'. But on the contrary, we have erected sets made of glass completely. As it is, it is difficult to shoot in a set but it is even more challenging to shoot in an ambience filled with glass as there is a lot of perceivable reflection which needed to be avoided. But thankfully, the results are satisfactory." While talking about the other song vaaji vaaji, Shankar says that a grand palace was erected to shoot this number. Even the minutest and intricate details of a palace has been taken into consideration while erecting this citadel and Shankar adds with pride that such sets have never been created in the history of Indian cinema before. He is confident that viewers will be astounded by the grandiose of the sequence. http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news/apr-07-02/12-04-07-sivaji.ht\ ml <http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news/apr-07-02/12-04-07-sivaji.h\ tml>
