In an exclusive interview with ETimes, Malvika revealed the entire process of her doing stunts with Vikram, she said , “ I was not trained in the kind of stunts I was doing in the film. There is a form of martial arts called Silambam, so a lot of stick fights are derived from there , so I had to start from scratch, with the entire physicality of the form. And, I also had to look convincing fighting Vikram Sir which was a mammoth task, but everything happened so fast that I didn’t get time to mull over it. “
“ Initially it was very difficult, I thought they are going to replace me. But my director Pa Ranjith was sweet, he said he’ll start another schedule which doesn’t require me, so I underwent rigorous training for my role in the meantime. And in the process I have hurt Vikram Sir a lot.” she added.
Confirming the pain Vikram said, “She began from scratch, but it was me who got the scratches; I used to get bruised and she would say but I’m using a dummy, but dummy also hurts. “
“ But now she’s a rockstar!! She can do her movements even in her sleep or even while brushing her teeth” he added.
