In an exclusive interview with Tellychakkar, Jay Pandya, the producer of the project and he opened up how it was to approach such legendary actors and working on such a great project.

Jay Pandya said, “See its always been a brainchild along with me and definitely SaReGaMa Yoodlee Films where it has been conceived and seeded and grown together. The idea was to bring Vasudevan sir’s story to life and definitely make them or make the audiences live those stories with eerie experience… Vasudevan sir’s stories have been a legend in themselves in the language itself. The idea was to now bring them to life and it couldn’t have been done justice if we would not have got the ensemble cast the legends together who so wilfully somewhere because of the love for Vasudevan sir, agreed to become a part of this pride project and gave everybody today an extremely beautiful viewing experience of seeing these stories coming to life.”

This was our conversation with Jay Pandya who gave an insight about the beautiful project created with some very legendary actors and directors together.
