Fahadh Faasil Comments on Sukumar Amid Shekavath Character Controversy

Sukumar, one of Tollywood’s most respected directors, is known not only for his cinematic style and gripping storytelling but also for his distinctive personality both on and off set. His approach to filmmaking has earned him widespread admiration, though it’s not without its challenges, especially for those who work with him.

Known for his perfectionist nature, Sukumar can be a tough taskmaster. His demanding work ethic often means that his team works under pressure, with some reports suggesting that his high expectations can even bring tears to the crew during shoots. His films are notorious for their delayed schedules and constant changes, with scenes and dialogues frequently being revised on the fly. This often leads to frustration among the cast and crew, who find themselves adjusting to new directions on a regular basis.

Fahadh Faasil, who played the antagonist in Sukumar’s Pushpa and Pushpa 2, opened up about his experience working with the director.

After being deeply impressed by Sukumar’s Rangasthalam, Fahadh was eager to join Pushpa but was made aware of the constant alterations Sukumar often made during filming. The director reassured him that such changes were inevitable and encouraged him not to get too attached to any specific lines or scenes. Sukumar even offered to stop the shoot for the day if any adjustments were necessary, giving Fahadh the flexibility to adapt.
