PRAKASH
ON BANGKOK EXPERIENCE
The
preparation from the producer side was very good. There was no pressure.
Everything was provided to us. 40 percent of action, talkie and 4
four songs have been stored with the help of three cameras headed
by Krishnakumar. The Hindi film unit headed by Abbas Mastan that had
come there to shoot was surprised with our style of working. There
was tremendous input from Vijaya Raghavendra. All the stunts he has
done are on his own. Master Mua and his team have done hectic work.
For
Vijaya Ragavendra’s action portion no support was sought. While going
through the photographs of the shooting Smt.Ashwini Puneeth Rajkumar
asked where are the strings used for these action portions? When we
said it was not used she was astonished Prakash recollected from his
memory.
It
was a ‘Bombat’ work. Security provided at the time of shooting made
me feel secure and take up more challenging tasks says Vijaya Raghavendra
who underwent three minor accidents while shooting in Bangkok. The
earlier home work done and without safety no composition of shots,
the availability of bound script, discussion held on the previous
night, the box shots helped us a lot in reaching our demands. Now
I have slight muscle tension and there is no fracture as such. The
doctor has advised rest as for as possible for me disclosed Vijay
Raghavendra. We have traveled almost all the places and never repeated
the already shot locations for this film. We never touched the floating
market in Bangkok that is over used.
There
was some problem in the beginning with the language. We hired a translator.
Now the locals in Bangkok especially the car driver learnt Kannada.
