Director Krishna says that if others interfere in the director’s decisions in the film, the film itself will be affected. An example of this is the film Sellinoru Kathal, which he directed, Krishna points out. The director talked about some scenes in the movie. A movie that the audience can’t forget is a core of Sill. The film was accepted by the audience outside Tamil as well. Released in 2006, the audience saw memorable performances by Suriya, Bhumika and Jyothika. Sill has a core in Suriya’s romantic films at the forefront.
All the songs in the movie composed by director Krishna are huge hits. AR Rahman is the music director. What director Krishna said about the incident that made him feel disappointed at the core of Sil is now gaining attention. The director talked about the crucial scene in the film. Jyothika was very emotional. Jyothika acts by crying. But when the scene was over, the whole set applauded. It was great acting. After acting, Jyothika came and asked if she was okay.
Krishna says that he said one take and then why one shot, everyone thought that this is such a good take. Then again Jyothika came and asked that you didn’t like it. Jyothika’s character says spend a night with her ex-girlfriend. A good husband can’t stand it if he says this while crying. He will not agree to it. So say it without crying. Jyothika was told that this is exactly what is needed, but the eyes should not water. Jyothika also did that scene saying it was for a good reason. The second take was okay, but everyone said the first one was awesome.
But he and Jyothika liked the second take. At the edit table in post-production, he did not include the take that he said was OK. The director still said that he wanted the second scene, not this scene. But in editing, everyone liked the first shot. Krishna says that at one point he got suspicious and felt that everyone was saying that the shot he was giving was not good, so the shot of Jyothika crying came into the picture. But that scene got a very bad response from the theatre. The scene got a bad response in all the theatres. That’s when he thought. Don’t say no to the director’s feelings. That is wrong. One take can change the title of a movie. Director Krishna said that if the second shot had been included, Silly would have reached another milestone and even if everyone said he should have said no, he still feels guilty for not saying so.
