Leading
actress
Sneha
was
hugely
excited
about
the
movie
Velaikkaran
right
from
the
announcement
of
the
project,
considering
it
was
her
comeback
to
Tamil
films
after
a
hiatus.
The
actress
who
was
one
of
the
busiest
heroines
around,
during
her
heydays,
recently
featured
in
the
Malayalam
movie
of
megastar
Mammootty,
The
Great
Father.
In
Velaikkaran,
Sneha
was
seen
in
a
rather
brief
role.
The
actress
said
that
she
decided
to
do
the
project
purely
because
she
believed
in
it.
Now
the
talented
veteran
has
expressed
her
disappointment
regarding
her
role
in
the
movie.
According
to
Sneha,
her
role
was
shortened
significantly
and
this
has
caused
her
much
consternation.
Sneha
recently
said
that
they
had
shot
for
the
movie
for
more
than
18
days.
She
added
that
she
had
expected
her
role
to
have
at
least
of
fifteen
minutes
of
screen
time.
Sneha
said
that
she
was
distraught
when
she
saw
that
she
got
a
screen
time
of
just
five
minutes.
The
actress
who
shed
considerable
weight
for
the
film,
expressed
her
disappointment
as
her
character
was
not
registered
in
the
minds
of
the
viewers.
Her
weight
loss
also
wasn't
shown
well
on-screen.
Sneha
said
that
all
the
pain
she
suffered
for
the
film
went
in
vain.
The
actress
had
resorted
to
dieting
and
losing
a
lot
of
weight
for
her
role.
Opening
up
further
on
her
issue
with
Velaikkaran,
she
said
that
she
was
also
disappointed
because
her
role
turned
out
to
be
something
quite
unlike
what
she
was
told
it
would
be.
Sneha
said
that
she
was
told
her
chracter
was
the
soul
of
the
film.
But
what
she
got
was
the
sort
of
character
that
she
has
constantly
kept
away
from.
Sneha
added
that
she
gets
such
offers
all
the
time,
even
from
Telugu
cinema.
The
actress
also
said
that
she
didn't
want
to
do
a
role
that
anyone
could've
done.
Velaikkaran,
starring
Sivakarthikeyan,
Fahadh
Faazil,
Nayanthara
and
others,
released
on
December
22,
and
is
currently
occupying
the
number
one
position
at
theatres
in
Tamil
Nadu.
The
film
is
directed
by
Mohan
Raja.
Fahad
Fazil's
Presence
Actor
par
excellence
Fahad
Fazil
has
taken
the
Tamil
filmdom
by
storm
with
his
role
in
Velaikkaran.
The
actor,
who
has
established
himself
as
one
amongst
the
finest
actors
in
Malayalam
cinema,
enthralled
the
Tamil
audience.
Velaikkaran
was
easily
one
of
the
most
anticipated
movies
of
recent
times.
The
director
of
the
movie,
Mohan
Raja,
had
exuded
confidence
that
his
work
and
the
stellar
star
cast
would
indeed
live
up
to
the
hype.
Fahad
Fazil
is
playing
a
role
with
grey
shades
in
the
movie.
Featuring
an
ensemble
cast
including
Sivakarthikeyan
and
Fahad
Fazil
in
the
lead
roles,
the
film
has
music
composed
by
Anirudh
Ravichander
and
cinematography
by
Ramji.
The
film
is
produced
by
R.
D.
Raja.
Fahad
Fazil's
foray
is
keenly
watched
as
the
other
young
Malayalam
star
Nivin
Pauly
has
already
made
his
presence
felt
with
the
new
release
Richie.
E4
Entertainment
had
purchased
the
movie's
Malyalam
rights
for
a
huge
undisclosed
sum
in
Kerala.
It
is
heard
that
it
is
one
of
the
biggest
deals
in
recent
times.
The
deal
is
said
to
be
a
big
boost
to
Fahad
Fazil
as
he
plays
an
important
role
in
Velaikkaran
and
there's
also
star
value
added
by
the
redoubtable
Nayanthara.
