CV Kumar’s strict deadline for Sarabham team

That moment when the reigning producer CV Kumar acted as a martinet with the Sarabham team. Apparently, CV Kumar had given the director only 30 days to complete this crime drama since he could not afford any extension in the schedule. But the team wrapped up the film in 29 days and took him by surprise. For a portion in the film which was shot inside an apartment, the team worked sleepless for five continuous nights to meet a deadline.

CV Kumar justified it and lauded the team for an excellent job. He said, “We began shooting the sequence in question in a posh apartment in Velachery. However, unfortunately , the officers of the residents’ association, who had granted us permission to shoot there, suddenly asked us to stop shooting. I couldn’t because we had already shot a considerable portion and I would have continuity problems.After my discussions with them, it became clear to me that they would not allow me to shoot there for even an extra hour beyond the five days that they had originally agreed to. So, I told my team to complete even the patch work portions within five days.”
