They struck gold whenever they came together. After ‘Subramaniapuram’ & ‘Naadodigal’, the triumphant duo Sasikumar & Samuthirakani is now back with ‘Easan’, which will hit the screens come Friday.
Says Sasikumar, “Easan will be a straight contrast to ‘Subramaniapuram’. While my first venture was set in a rural backdrop and a retro film, ‘Easan’, in the backdrop of Chennai, will speak about modern day life.”
On working with Samuthirakani again and again, Sasi says, “we share a very good rapport. As an actor, he is ready to do anything I require and as a director he would ensure that I give my best in front of camera.”
Echoing Sasi, Samuthirakani says, “Sasi wanted me to gain weight for my Chithappa role in ‘Subramaniapuram’. I did so. He wanted me reduce few kilos for the police officer role in ‘Easan’. And I hit the gym. Similarly, he is always willing to do whatever I demand as a director.”
