Jayam Ravi is truly a Thani Oruvan in 'Booloham'
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,December 23 2015]
The saying is that there is nothing to replace hard work which will never fail to pay rich dividends and that is what the Thani Oruvan' star Jayam Ravi has done in his Christmas release Booloham'.
Speaking to us in an exclusive interview Ravi revealed that initially when director Kalyana Krishnan approached him to play the boxers role he was apprehensive whether he can pull it off, but too up the challenge and trained for months to get the look and the body language of a boxer right.
Ravi added that he did not use a stunt double and did all the shots himself and he has also not used ropes striving for realism. Nathan Jones, WWE wrestler and the Mad Max Fury Road' star plays the main antagonist and Ravi is all praises for his professionalism for rehearsing with him in spite of him being one of the most popular wrestlers. Ravi has suffered cuts, bruises, muscle and breath catches during the intense fight scenes and in the climax fight Nathan Jones was supposed to attack him from behind and Ravi had to duck, but the mike in the stunt master's hands stopped working and he couldn't give the cue resulting in Jayam Ravi taking a powerful blow from Nathan Jones on the head.
Looks like fans are in for a grand Christmas treat on the 24th of December when the Aascar Films produced Boologam', which also stars Trisha as the leading lady releases worldwide.
