Director Arun Kumar, for his part, said that he was never under any pressure as one would have expected a young director to be because of big stars being a part of his film.

“As far as Veera Dheera Sooran is concerned, I have the feeling of having worked with some very good people. It was a very democratic space. All I needed to do was just tell them what I wanted. I usually don’t act. I like to extract from the artists,” he said.

“Irrespective of whoever the actor was, they would ask me, ‘Arun, is this okay?’ or ‘Sir, what should I do’. I never had the feeling that I was doing a big movie with big stars, “ he explained.

Interestingly, ‘Veera Dheera Sooran’, which has an ensemble star cast including Chiyaan Vikram, S J Suryah, Suraj Venjaramoodu and Dushara Vijayan, will have its second part releasing first on March 27 this year.

While the film has cinematography by Theni Eswar, it has music by G V Prakash Kumar. Editing has been taken care of by G K Prasanna. The art direction for the film is by C.S. Balachandar. Riya Shibu of HR Pictures is producing this film, an edge-of-seat action thriller.
