 Jeeva,
the cinematographer turned director who was died recently
while shooting of his film Dham Dhoom has remembered by
his crew meaningfully. The director passed away when shooting
was almost eighty percent completed. But his courageous
team came together to complete the film in stipulated time.
In a recently held press meet
of Dham Dhoom, they screened few songs and impressive trailer
of the film and revealed their pain and efforts they managed
to complete the film. Lead actors Jayam Ravi, Kangana Ranaut
from Bollywood and Lakshmi Rai spoke on the occasion and
shared their experiences with late Jeeva.
Ravi described Jeeva as a rare genius.
He further said, "The first half of the film is the
slow and quiet life in the village relating to Dham in the
title. The second half is all Dhoom, with high speed in
every aspect of camera, stunts and editing."
The emotionally looked Lakshmi Rai says, "I owe to
Jeeva my re entry into Tamil films. He gave me a new image
and it was a pleasure to shoot with the unit."
In
his long emotional speech, music director Harris Jayaraj
said, "I didn't realise that I would be doing the music
of this film by myself because I usually would sit and do
it in collaboration with Jeeva. It was a very emotional
moment for me today when I saw the songs being completed
and screened."
Actress Kangana, who forays
into Tamil as Shenbagam in this film, said, "I really
miss him though I only shot with him for 20 days. I loved
his honesty towards work and the compassion he had for his
unit members. There was so much more I wanted to learn from
him. After seeing his working style and approach, I had
decided to continue my career in Tamil. But he is no more
now."
Now the film has completed
by the second unit Cameraman GK Manikandan and second unit
Director B Rajasekar with the style and script of Jeeva
without any minor change. Producers Media One Global Entertainment
Ltd, Ayngaran International and Metro Films have extended
all their support to complete the project.
