Director
Atlee,
who
awaits
the
release
of
Tamil
actioner
Theri,
says
he
was
stunned
by
the
risk-taking
ability
of
actor
Vijay,
who
insisted
on
not
using
a
body
double
for
the
stunt
sequences
in
the
film.
"The
action
scenes
have
come
out
very
well.
I
was
stunned
by
Vijay
sir's
decision
to
not
use
body
doubles
and
take
risks.
I
was
in
awe
of
his
risk-taking
ability," Atlee,
who
thoroughly
enjoyed
working
with
the
star
actor,
told
IANS.
The
film
marks
the
first
time
collaboration
of
Vijay
and
Atlee.
Although
an
action-entertainer
at
heart,
the
director
says
the
film
is
about
good
parenting
and
a
beautiful
relationship
between
a
father
and
daughter.
"Every
crime
involves
emotions.
I
wanted
to
get
to
the
bottom
of
it.
It's
all
about
good
parenting.
That's
'Theri',"
he
said,
adding
Vijay
fights
for
a
very
important
social
and
personal
cause
in
the
movie.
In
the
film,
Vijay
plays
an
upright
police
officer.
"What
differentiates
'Theri' from
other
police
stories
is
the
solid,
genuine
emotional
factor,"
he
added.
Vijay
will
also
be
seen
as
a
doting
father.
Child
artiste
Nainika
plays
his
daughter.
"Nainika
has
performed
on
par
with
Vijay
sir.
Scenes
between
them
will
be
fun
and
equally
emotional,"
he
said.
Reacting
to
rumours
about
Theri
2,
Atlee
said
he
hasn't
discussed
about
the
same
with
Vijay.
"I
have
an
idea
but
everything
depends
on
how
audiences
react
to
'Theri',"
he
signed
off
after
letting
everyone
know
that
he
will
require
a
break
after
Theri
hits
the
screen.
Also
starring
Samantha
Ruth
Prabhu
and
Amy
Jackson
in
important
roles,
the
film
will
release
in
theatres
tomorrow
(April
14).
