Mohanlal stuns Action Choreographer Silva with his high octane energy
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,September 24 2016]
Action Director Silva choreographed the stunt sequences in Mohanlal's Oppam. He was stunned by the 56 year old actor's dedication and enthusiasm. In an interview to an online media he narrated his experiences with Mohanlal. Silva was little perplexed before coming to the sets of Oppam. It was a challenging stunt sequence as the hero was blind, but he knew kalari. Usually he does homework before going to the sets of films, for this he was confused and reached the sets without any plans.
Priyadarshan briefed him about the scene on reaching the set. He told him the limitations of the character. Meanwhile Mohanalal came and wished him good morning. He was ready and was asking about the scenes and what he should do. This 56 year old was full of energy and ready like a twenty year old young man.
The character had good perception for hearing and smell. So the stunt was choreographed in such a way. The scenes where Mohanlal lifts himself in his toes and fingers and when he swirls in single feet resulted in big applause in the set itself. He even did some risky shots. Finally, the stunt director had to ask for a break to the director as he was feeling tired.
Selva concluded saying, "Mohanlal sir is a different level."
