Red Giant bags Jawan - Body double and CG for Vivek and Nedumudi - Suriya B' Day gift
Red Giant Movies' upcoming release is "Rajikanth Jailer," set to hit theaters in August. Additionally, they have acquired the Tamil and Hindi theatrical rights for "Jawan," a film starring Shah Rukh Khan, Nayanthara, and Vijay Sethupathu, for Tamil Nadu.
The company's most recent release, "Maaveeran," featuring Sivakarthikeyan, achieved significant success, earning Rs 50 crores worldwide in just five days, with Rs 34 crores coming from India alone.
Some of Red Giant Movies' past blockbuster releases include "Thunivu" starring Ajith, "Dada" starring Kavin, "PS 2," and "Mammannan."
The founder and owner of the company, Udhaynidhi, who is also a State minister, has decided to pass the baton to his successor and has announced his departure from the film industry.
Vijay Sethupathi was offered a staggering sum of Rs 21 crore for his role in the movie "Jawan" alongside Shah Rukh Khan. When asked about his payment for the film "Jawan," Vijay Sethupathi revealed that he would have done it for free as it was his lifelong dream to act with SRK. He also lent his voice to Sivakarthikyan's film "Maaveeran," where the producers, Arun Vishwa, expressed their gratitude by prominently featuring his name, and it's said that Vijay Sethupathi refused any payment, considering it a favor for his friend SK.
Vijay Sethupathi has an exciting lineup of films, which includes "Merry Christmas," "Gandhi Talks," "Maharaja," "VJS 51," and "Viduthalai 2," among others. Additionally, there are ongoing discussions for him to take up significant roles in "KH 233," "Sardar 2," and "RC 16."
During the one-year hiatus in shooting Indian 2, unfortunate events occurred as both Vivek and Nedumudi Venu passed away. To preserve their contributions to the film, some crucial scenes featuring these late actors had already been captured. However, Director Shankar faced the challenge of potentially burdening the team with reshooting these scenes with different actors. Therefore, he made the decision to incorporate Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) to portray Vivek and Nedumudi in the movie. Through the magic of CGI, both actors will be seen in certain scenes, allowing their presence to be preserved. For Nedumudi Venu, a body double resembling him in physique and gait from the Malayalam film industry has been used. The actor is Nandu Poduval.
On July 23, actor Suriya will celebrate his 48th birthday, and on this occasion, an announcement will be made regarding his next project with director Sudha Kongara. This collaboration comes after their successful venture "Soorai Pottru" (SP). Additionally, Suriya will once again team up with G V Prakash for this gangster drama, which is reportedly based on real-life incidents. The movie will be produced under the banner of 2D Entertainment, the actor's home production company. Presently, Sudha Kongara is occupied with the shooting of the Hindi remake of "Soorai Pottru" with Akshay Kumar, while Suriya's upcoming commitments include the film directed by Veterimaaran after he wraps up filming for "Ganguvaa."
