It was Vijay Antony who recommended director Pradeep: Sibiraj
Sibiraj has revealed that it was composer-actor Vijay Antony who recommended director Pradeep to helm Sathya. “Soon after we confirmed as a team that Sathya remake is on the cards, Vijay Antony called me and asked if Pradeep can get onboard to direct the remake. He briefed me saying that Pradeep did a great job with ‘Saithan’, which is also a thriller and recommended him. Soon before kick-starting the shoot, Pradeep assured me that he would never compromise on the perfection regarding the performance and looks of me,” said Sibiraj.
“When we started shooting the film, we didn’t finalize the title. After feeling that Sathya would look appropriate for the story, Pradeep asked me if I can let my father Sathyaraj ask Kamal sir. But I thought that it should be done professionally and wrote a request letter to Kamal sir, and he agreed without any hesitation,” added Sibiraj.
Produced by Sathyaraj’s Nathambal Film Factory, Sathya also has Varalaxmi Sarathkumar and Ramya Nambeesan in important roles. The film is slated to hit screens on December 8th.
