Nobody recognised Sivakarthikeyan in nurse’s character: Director
Director Bakkiyaraj said that people outside the sets of the new film Remo could not recognise actor Sivakartikeyan in the nurse’s character.
Debutant director Bakkiyaraj Kannan, whose film Remo featuring Sivakarthikeyan releases this week, said nobody outside the team of the upcoming Tamil romantic comedy could recognize the actor in the disguise of a nurse.
“Nobody outside our team could recognize Siva in the disguise of a nurse. When we told them it was Siva, they didn’t believe us. When we were shooting in Vishakhapatnam, an onlooker asked who the actor playing the nurse was, and when we told him it was Anushka’s sister, he believed it,” said Kannan.
For nearly 60 per cent of the film, Sivakarthikeyan will be seen playing a nurse.
Kannan is all praise for the Maan Karate actor.
“No actor in his shoes could have pulled off this role. It takes a lot of patience to even sit through the make-up session for this role and Siva never complained. He lost about 9 to 10 kg to play the nurse’s part,” he said.
Given a chance to work with Sivakarthikeyan again, Kannan says he would be obliged.
“He’s a terrific actor and is very friendly. I would love to work with him again,” he added.
Produced by RD Raja, the film is slated for worldwide release on Friday. It also stars Keerthy Suresh and Sathish.
