Telugu vs Tamil Film Production: Vijay’s 120-Day Schedule

What difference did you see in Tamil and Telugu films?

In the filmmaking process, or in the markets?

Now, when you worked with Vijay sir... Vijay sir was very straightforward about the number of days.

He said, “Make a film in this many days.”

He laid down the rules. And the timing. When you start and when you finish.

He has a system: six months, 20 days every month.

That’s it. You have 120 days to make your film.

If every hero followed that... It’d be a golden, golden opportunity for producers.

Okay, so for producers, if heroes give them one film in six months...

Giving them 15 or 20 days every month...

When they say, “You get these days in my six months, so plan,”...

Everyone feels pressure. The director feels it too.

It’d be on the producer and the technicians too.

But we can finish the movie in six months.

They can do it. They spend more time on pre-production.

We’ve lost that system here. That system in Telugu cinema is now completely collapsed.

So, what I’m going to do next… I’m working on it, reworking it.

No, first, what did we do? Why can’t we do it now?

Now, sitting with the heroes I’m going to work with…

I am discussing.
