After the disaster of Brahmotsavam, Mahesh Babu is taking all the risk to prove that he is a super star. Mahesh Babu has done incredible stunts in action-thriller Spyder, which is being directed by ace filmmaker AR Murugadoss as a Tamil-Telugu bilingual.
“Mahesh has done some fabulous stunts which we never thought an actor could do. But, Mahesh did it all by himself without any body double. We were all quite stunned,” says Rupin one of the production designers.
“This man has taken it to another league. There’s a particular sequence where even the stunt doubles were scared of doing it. But Mahesh just went ahead and delivered it.”
Rupin, who has worked on films such as R Balki’s Ki & Ka and Gauri Shinde’s Dear Zindagi, says Murugadoss has given him all the liberty to go ahead and do what he wishes to do.
“Murugadoss wanted something remarkably stylish. A complete urban look. He has given me all the liberty to do my work. I’ve focussed on stylizing the production design to what he expects,” says Rupin. But the unit walas say that the co-operaration of Mahesh and the ability to take risk made all the difference. Otherwise dupes could have been used in his place.
While 50% of Spyder has been shot at real locations, the remaining portion is being filmed on sets. “Even on live locations, they have created some sets. Spyder has an elegant texture. The story has a lot of relevance to different places.
We constructed two important sets in EVP Studios, Chennai, which was quite challenging. “Murugadoss sir has given a solid story this time. There will be a fine balance of Indian and international elements it it reported.”
Lets hope Prince Mahesh gets a block buster this time.
