Mumbai, Dec 4 () Actor-director-screenwriter S.J. Surya, whose Tamil webseries ‘Vadhandhi: The Fable of Velonie’ has been getting a positive response, has praised the show’s creator and director Andrew Louis for his work.
Talking to , the actor said that he was left surprised at “many, many places” about himself and his craft during the making of the series.
He said: “There was a scene where I had to do a single take. No cut. Though you know the lines, you memorise the lines, you are prepared but when you are giving the take, that is a different ball game. At so many places, Andrew sir created a space for me.”
Surya plays a cop who is investigating the murder of a young girl. ‘Vadhandhi: The Fable of Velonie’, which makes a good use of the Rashomon-effect, tells the story from three different perspectives: those of a cop (Surya), a novelist captivated by the girl’s grace and an opportunistic news editor.
Surya concluded by pointing out: “He gave me the ambience to get the best of me. I didn’t know if I did great or if I was talented enough to do my best. I don’t know. I felt very happy when I achieved the take because it was from my heart and mind.”
‘Vadhandhi: The Fable of Velonie’ is available to stream on Prime Video.
