Sudeep, who reportedly plays a commander in Vijay’s Puli with director Chimbudevan, says nobody can dominate Vijay. “Vijay is a gentleman to the core. Whatever respect I have earned here, I had to go there to realise. I am blessed to have worked with Sridevi. My character has a lot of grey shades. For the personality of Vijay, there was need of such a character. Nobody can dominate him, but there is space for my character,” says Sudeep about his working experience with Vijay.
“During the first schedule, I had a getup that took 45 minutes to get into. I could not sit in the costume and therefore could not remove it in the breaks. In the second schedule, they made a removable costume,” adds Sudeep. The talkie portion of Puli is completed and only few patchwork portions are left to be shot.
