Discussion
with
the
cameraman
turned
director
Jeeva,
even
if
that
is
for
a
short
duration
is
very
enlivening.
His
awareness
of
the
current
affairs
as
well
as
the
spirit
of
youngsters
is
indeed
amazing.
Despite
being
busy
as
a
cameraman
in
Tamil
and
Hindi,
he
has
also
tried
his
luck
as
a
'director'
in
a
few
movies.
After
having
narrated
the
pleasures
and
pains
of
the
youth
through
12
B
and
Ullam
Ketkume
he
leaped
forward
to
the
next
step.
Shankar
and
Jeeva
went
on
to
have
an
open
discussion
with
Jeeva
speaking
about
his
movies,
and
themes
that
he
depicts
through
them.
Over
to
Jeeva....
The
film
Unnale...
Unnale...
is
a
film
depicting
entirely
the
attitude
of
the
youngsters.
Love
starts
only
from
friendship.
There
won't
be
problem
until
they
are
friends.
Flexibility
will
be
there.
When
it
transforms
into
love
it
will
disappear
and
the
storyline
starts
at
this
point.
In
general,
men
experience
love
at
the
first
sight
itself.
But
it
is
not
so
in
case
of
women.
After
knowing
a
person
and
in
case
the
wavelength
coincides,
then
they
would
express
their
love.
The
only
common
thing
between
a
man
and
woman
is
love.
I
have
made
the
film
Unnale...Unnale...
in
an
enjoyable
manner
according
to
the
latest
trend.
The
story
begins
in
Chennai
and
goes
on
so
until
the
interval.
The
locale
of
the
remaining
half
of
the
film
shifts
to
Australia.
Vinay
makes
his
debut
as
a
hero
with
this
film
along
with
Sadha
and
Thanisha,
sister
of
Kajol
as
heroines.
Choreographer
Raju
Sundaram
also
plays
an
important
role
in
the
film.
Your
stories
depict
the
foreign
culture?
No,
in
12
B,
the
hero
is
an
ordinary
person
who
travels
to
office
by
bus.
The
story
line
was
presented
in
a
different
pattern.
Rest
of
the
story
takes
place
in
common
middle
class
families.
Take
for
example,
Ullam
Ketkume
wherein
only
Shyam
who
hails
from
a
rich
family
is
seen
roaming
about
in
the
car.
All
the
other
characters
belong
to
ordinary
middle
class
families.
Why
are
you
not
exploring
subject
matters
other
than
love?
The
lives
we
lead
is
not
for
sitting
in
a
corner
and
crying,
it
is
meant
for
enjoying.
I
am
jovial
and
happy
as
far
as
possible
and
my
creations
are
also
of
that
sort.
In
short,
Jeeva
gives
100%
guarantee
that
his
films
are
enjoyable
for
two
and
half
hours.
