Maari' fulfils how I wanted to see Dhanush onscreen: Balaji Mohan
Director Balaji Mohan, who consciously chose to go fully commercial with forthcoming Tamil entertainer "Maari", says the film is a fulfillment of how he has always wanted to see actor Dhanush on screen. "I've been his (Dhanush's) fan right from his first film. I've always liked him as an actor as well as a star. The way he can carry himself in the offbeat as well commercial space is amazing. I've really liked him in his commercial avatars and I wanted to see him in a certain way. 'Maari', in a way, is a fulfillment of the way I want to see Dhanush onscreen," Balaji told. Known for his quirky, partly offbeat films such as "Kadhalil Sodhappuvathu Yeppadi" and "Vaayai Moodi Pesavum", Balaji is taking a plunge into the commercial stream with the film. "When you see the trailer of 'Maari', you get a clear idea of how the film is going to be. And that's the kind of film I've always wanted to do. It's a conscious decision to go fully commercial with 'Maari' and break the perception audiences have created about me. It's not something that happened by accident," he said. Quizzed if he found making a commercial film with a star challenging, Balaji said: "It's difficult when you're sensibilities are not in that space. My first two films belong to the space I created for myself after I started watching lot of international cinema and developed that taste." "The sensibility on which 'Maari' has been made has always been there inside me. I never felt like traversing into an unknown territory with the film. I felt quite at home working on it," he added. In the film, Dhanush is said to be playing a local hooligan, who goes with the catchphrase "Will finish you off". It features the "Raanjhanaa" star mostly in a dhoti-clad, cigarette-smoking and twirled-moustache avatar. Balaji said he wrote the film exclusively for Dhanush, and wouldn't have made the film had he not agreed to be part of it. He also clarified that "Maari" is much different from Dhanush's blockbuster "Vella Illa Pattathari", even though they fall in the commercial bracket. Working with Dhanush was memorable for Balaji, who admires the freshness that the former brings to his performance in every film. "He's a very spontaneous actor and at the same time he thinks a lot. It's a combination I've very rarely seen in actors," Balaji said. "He is always preparing on sets, but it isn't evident to the people around him. It just feels like he comes and performs without any preparation. But I know he's always thinking about his role, preparing, and that's why all his performances are always fresh," he said, and added that Dhanush never wanted to be treated like a star. The film, which releases in cinemas on Friday, also starts Kajal Aggarwal as Dhanush's love interest.
Maari 2 script locked
Dhanush's Maari is all set to comeback with a bang. It is reported that director Balaji Mohan is planning to make a sequel in 2016. The director is currently busy with the scripting works. Maari ended with Dhanush rejecting Kajal's proposal and it would be interesting to see how the director begins the sequel. Apart from Dhanush and music director Anirudh, the rest of the starcast will be fresh. "Guess what I got :) final draft of Mari 2 script from @directormbalaji !! #hewillbeback #donudonudonu #senjiruven," Dhanush tweeted.
Dhanush's 'Maari' sequel on cards
The sequel to Dhanush-starrer Tamil entertainer "Maari", which released last year in cinemas, is in the pipeline and will go on the floors later this year, a source said. "Director Balaji Mohan has been working on the script of 'Maari 2' over the last few months. The project is expected to go on the floors around October this year. By then, Dhanush will be relieved of all his commitments, including his Hollywood project," a source close to Dhanush told. In "Maari", Dhanush played a lungi-clad, moustache-twirling local don. "He will reprise the same role in the sequel. The team is waiting for Dhanush to grow back his handlebar moustache for the film," the source said. Meanwhile, Dhanush is wrapping up for Tamil political thriller "Kodi". From June, he will start working on his international project "The Fakir". The source added that he also has a film with "Raanjhanaa" director Anand L. Rai in the offing.
