Time spent on 'Ai' worth it: Director Shankar

Director Shankar, known for spending a lot of time on his films, has already spent a year on Vikram-starrer Tamil romantic-thriller Ai and the film is not complete yet, but he has no regrets. So far he has completed 75 percent of it.

"It's been a year since we started shooting for Ai, and technically it is taking its own time for Vikram's physical change, scanning, moulding and preparing prosthetic make-up materials, but I believe it is worth the wait," posted Shankar on his personal website.

"We've completed 75 percent of the movie....going for the next schedule in couple of days," he wrote. In June we had a three week schedule that happened in Bangalore, Mysore and Chennai. An eye riveting make up for Vikram was done by Sean Foot and Davina Lamont, and Vikram proved he’s a great actor once again, Shankar added.

Shankar has made only 11 films in his two decade long career.
