There are allegations that actor Jai is non-coopertaive and never turns up for the shoots on time. However, he disproved them all by coming to shoots half an hour before time and sitting through even after his portions were over. He was doing so despite this being his fasting month of Ramzan,” said Nitin Sathyaa, actor turned producer of the film Jarugandi. Reba Monica John of Jacobinte Swargarjyam fame debuts in Tamil as Jai’s pair. Pichumani, a former assistant of Venkat Prabhu, debuts as the director.
Nitin spoke to DC as why he shifted gears from acting to production and about the action comedy drama. “Right from my first film as an actor, I involved myself in production in one way or the other. Having learnt the trade to some extent, I thought it was the right time to start my own production banner. That’s when producer Badri Kasturi joined me.”
Adding more on how he was fully equipped for production, which is the toughest part today, he says, “I turned down a few film offers and took a break and did a bit of research as how things work in behind the scenes. To some extent, production is an easy job — when you plan and act accordingly. But to bring it to cinema halls has become a big task these days.”
Coming back to the topic of Jai who is his close buddy right from days, he says, “I am not praising him just because he is my friend. I don’t know about his other films. For me he was very cooperative and he even worked in music department, as his cousin Bobo Sashi is the composer of the film. We completed the film in 46 days time (smiles).”
On the story he asserts, “It’s a gripping tale and a complete entertainer. It’s about a guy who manages to get a loan from a financial institution by giving false info as he wants to lead a kushi life.” While AR Murugadoss launched the
first look, Suriya unveiled the trailer.
