Скачать или смотреть Vetrimaaran on Viduthalai, Violence & Vision | THR Talks

Anupama Chopra hosts acclaimed Tamil filmmaker Vetrimaaran at THR Talks, where he opens up about his unconventional filmmaking process and the creative philosophy behind his critically acclaimed works. Vetrimaaran discusses how his latest film "Viduthalai Part 2" evolved from a small 40-day project into an epic two-part saga shot over 200+ days. He reveals his unique approach to filmmaking without a traditional bound script, explaining his "10 rupees for 12 rupees" investment philosophy and how he collaborates with actors like Dhanush, Vijay Sethupathi, and upcoming star Simbu.

The director delves into his production ventures including "Bad Girl," addresses the challenges of censorship with films like "Manushi," and shares insights on balancing commercial viability with artistic integrity. Vetrimaaran candidly discusses his editing process where he becomes his harshest critic, the importance of location and dialect in his storytelling, and his belief that while cinema cannot directly change the world, it can empower people to stand behind those who can bring change. He also reveals details about his upcoming Vada Chennai universe film with Simbu and clarifies it's not Vada Chennai 2, which will eventually happen with Dhanush.
