Malavika Mohanan believes that her upcoming movie Master goes to be a turning level in her profession. Not solely as a result of Master marks her first lead function in a Tamil film, but in addition due to her co-star ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay and the demi-god standing he enjoys.
“I got the first-hand experience of how big a star he (Vijay) is while working on this movie. I got to see how much he’s loved and admired by people. I received so much love and support because I was part of a Thalapathy Vijay film. That’s when I realised that he’s an icon,” she famous.
Malavika Mohanan was impressed with Vijay’s punctuality and needed to at all times be on her toes to maintain up with him. “The one thing I really admire about Vijay is, how extremely disciplined he is. He is so on time always. Sometimes when I am running late, I would be praying, ‘Please, let Vijay sir be late’, so that I get more time to get ready. But, he’s always on time. If 7 am is the shot, he will be on set at 6:55 am,” she stated.
But it wasn’t all work and no play on the units of Master. “It was like a picnic,” Malavika stated.
Master has been made by a really younger group led by director Lokesh Kanagaraj. “I had the most fun working on Master. We had so much masti just being on the sets as the team was so young. It was like a college project, where we were having a lot of fun, creatively engaged, and making something we love at the same time. When I think about it now from a different perspective, I am calling a Rs 100 crore film a college project. So that’s very rare, right?” she shared.
Talking about Lokesh’s work, Malavika credited him for redefining the thought of mainstream Tamil motion pictures. “His (Lokesh’s) idea of a mainstream film is so different. For example, Master doesn’t have a typical romantic groovy dance number involving me and Vijay sir,” she revealed.
That stated, Malavika Mohanan additionally underlined that Lokesh Kanagaraj has been thoughtful about assembly the expectations of Vijay’s core fan base. “As Lokesh puts it, Master is 50 per cent his movie and 50 per cent a ‘Thalapthy Vijay’ movie. When you go to watch a Vijay film in a theatre, you are going for the experience, right? It is not about just watching a story. It is also about whistling and celebrating with a bunch of friends,” she defined.
Besides Malavika, the campus-based motion drama boasts of an all-star supporting solid, together with Vijay Sethupathi. “The film has fast-paced action sequences, romance, drama and it is so tastefully done. It has something in it for everyone. There is not a dull moment in Master,” she stated.
