VKP, Padmasoorya reunite for Sania Mirza commercial, un., Sania Mirza, Padmasoorya, Netholi Oru Cheriya MeenallaVKP, Padmasoorya reunite for Sania Mirza commercial:
Post a highly-successful season in Mollywood, director V K Prakash has gone back to his passion of making ad films and also has actor and aspiring ad filmmaker Padmasoorya Govind for company.
The two, who have worked together in Netholi Oru Cheriya Meenalla, has just wrapped up work on a national advertisement in Mumbai that has tennis star Sania Mirza as the face of the campaign.
Padmasoorya, who himself has directed a few advertisements recently, tells us, "Working with VKP is fun. My character represents South India in the ad and though the shoot was only for two days, there were so many things I could learn working with experienced people like VKP and cinematographer Sudeep Chatterjee of Guzaarish fame."
The actor also praises VKP's energy levels on the set. "He just makes you feel you have known him for years and has the entire set in splits most of the time, cracking jokes. Even if he wants a re-take, he would tell you that the previous shot was 'nothing short of awesome but one more take, please.'"
Padmasoorya, who had worked behind the camera for a commercial last year, says that working for an ad encourages one to experiment. "The best thing about ads is that you have a good budget, and time and space to experiment. You become more aware of the technical aspects of filmmaking because you are focusing on the beauty and the feel of the entire featurette," he says, adding that he attributes the aesthetic appeal of movies of ad filmmakers-turned-directors to these factors.
