Director Nesan about ‪ Ilayathalapathy ‬Vijay ‬& Jilla‬

“After working in films such as Nanban and Thuppakki, he was very clear that the film should be sensible and closer to life. If I narrated a stunt scene where he was doing something unrealistic, he would stop me and ask me to keep it simple. Yet, one cannot take Vijay out of a Vijay film. It is a film set in Madurai. But, it won’t focus on the rural Madurai which we have seen in many films. In Jilla, I have tried to showcase a Madurai in transition: semi-modern, a more urban Madurai. It is not just a film to prop-up the hero, there is a story in it.

Nesan seems to know what he's doing. Pongal is gonna be interesting next year.
