Actress
Neetu
Chandra
says
that
more
than
her
enthusiasm
to
work
with
Tamil
filmmaker
Ameer
Sultan,
it
was
a
challenge
to
learn
the
language
that
persuaded
her
to
be
part
of
forthcoming
Tamil
action
film
Aadhi
Bhagavan.
"Having
heard
about
Ameer's
work,
I
expressed
my
interest
to
work
in
his
film,
but
he
instantly
refused
to
work
with
me.
When
I
asked
why
he
wouldn't
work
with
me,
he
said
I
can't
speak
Tamil.
I
took
it
up
as
a
challenge
and
ten
months
later,
I
learnt
and
spoke
to
him
in
Tamil," Neetu
told
IANS.
"At
that
time
he
had
already
cast
someone
but
I
don't
know
what
changed
his
mind
and
I
was
signed
on
for
the
project,"
she
added.
Neetu
will
be
seen
opposite
Jayam
Ravi
in
the
film,
which
releases
on
Friday.
It
also
features
Sudha
Chandran,
Saiju
Kurup,
Karuna
and
Baby
Anthony.
The
film
had
been
under
production
for
two
years,
however,
Neetu
wasn't
affected
as
she
believes
creativity
is
not
bound
by
time.
"I
didn't
find
it
restless
to
be
associated
with
the
project
for
such
a
long
time.
Today,
creativity
is
not
time
bound
and
for
someone
like
Ameer,
a
perfectionist
at
work,
it
is
highly
essential.
Audiences
look
forward
to
the
content
in
the
film,
but
not
how
much
time
was
spent
on
it,"
she
said.
"Most
Hollywood
projects
take
close
to
a
year
and
even
more,
but
nobody
is
bothered
about
it.
What's
wrong
if
a
Tamil
film
takes
ample
time
in
coming
to
the
theatres?
Ameer
is
confident
of
his
work
and
I
am
sure
the
outcome
will
be
positive,"
she
added.
Produced
by
J
Anbazhgan,
the
film
has
been
shot
in
places
like
Rajasthan,
Goa,
Chennai,
Bangkok,
Pattaya,
Canada
and
Hyderabad.
Is
Ameer
a
taskmaster?
"He
is
definitely
a
taskmaster
and
he
wouldn't
stop
until
he
is
satisfied.
There
have
been
instances
we
have
shot
non-stop
for
30
hours.
I
may
have
hated
working
initially,
but
with
time
I
followed
him
and
gave
exactly
what
he
wanted,"
she
added.
