Editor
Praveen
KL,
who
is
a
self-confessed
fan
of
superstar
Rajinikanth,
has
said
working
on
Kabali
was
both
enjoyable
and
challenging.
"The
theme
of
'Kabali'
is
something
new
even
for
Rajini
sir.
The
biggest
challenge
for
me
as
an
editor
is
to
work
in
the
Rajini
zone,
being
his
fan
and
yet
staying
true
to
the
script," the
National
Film
Award-winning
editor
told
to
a
leading
news
channel.
Though
he's
been
working
in
the
Tamil
film
industry
for
a
decade
now,
Kabali
is
the
first
Rajinikanth
film
he
has
ever
worked
in.
And,
being
a
part
of
a
Rajinikanth-starrer
is
pressure
right?
"I
wouldn't
call
it
pressure,
but
there
is
a
certain
responsibility
as
the
superstar
has
trusted
us
to
present
him
in
a
different
role.
This
has
always
been
at
the
back
of
everyone's
head
while
working
for
'Kabali'," he
has
said.
Talking
about
the
film,
Praveen
has
said,
"Most
of
his
(Rajinikanth's)
shots
are
single
takes.
It
shows
Thalaivar's
experience.
'Kabali'
is
an
emotional
film
as
much
as
it
is
a
gangster
film.
So
it
was
really
a
challenge
to
make
sure
the
emotional
scenes
were
paced
right
to
get
the
right
feeling.
There
are
lot
of
intense
moments
especially
in
the
sequences
showing
Rajini's
growth
as
a
don.
The
slightest
eye
movement
or
expression
will
rain
in
the
claps.
It's
a
huge
task
for
me
to
keep
everything
intact
as
much
as
I
can,
keeping
the
script
in
mind."
So,
which
is
his
favourite
scene
in
the
movie?
"There
are
tons
of
scenes
I
admire
in
the
film.
But
like
any
superstar's
film,
the
introduction
scene
of
Kabali,
the
gangster
has
come
out
really
well.
While
I
was
watching
it,
I
was
imagining
how
the
fans
will
whistle
and
hoot
and
clap
for
Rajini
sir.
And
finally
when
we
get
to
see
his
face
in
full,
it
will
be
a
treat.

the
cameraman
has
shot
them
in
a
really
slick
and
stylish
composition."
