“Varun’s dedication to performing all stunts without a body double was truly impressive” - Filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon
Renowned for his ability to seamlessly blend various genres and create masterpieces with every frame, director Gautham Vasudev Menon stands out as a true visionary in the world of cinema. With an impressive track record spanning over two decades, he never fails to captivate audiences and achieve remarkable success at the box office. His latest venture, ‘Joshua Imai Pol Kaakha’, promises to be a thrilling action-packed spectacle that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on viewers. With the film hitting screens worldwide (March 1, 2024), GVM shares his experience on creating this movie.
Director Gautham Vasudev Menon expresses, “It’s often a challenge to pitch an action film with any actor. There are numerous obstacles involved such as body doubles, meticulous planning, risk factors, and more. However, working with Varun was a breeze. He was eager to start filming and committed to fulfilling the role requirements. While action plays a significant role in this movie, there are also elements of emotion and romance intertwined in the storyline. Varun’s dedication to performing all stunts without a body double was truly impressive. As Varun brings intense action sequences to life, Raahei’s character serves as the heart of the film. Initially uncertain if Krishna would agree to portray the antagonist, he surprised us all with his exceptional performance on set. The stunt team has delivered outstanding work, promising an engaging cinematic experience for all viewers in theaters.”
