He admitted that he had miscalculated the time needed for the film’s production, making certain aspects of his storytelling not fully realized.
Nelson emphasized, “If I had six to seven months of time, I would have done an extra detail to narrate the story correctly, and the film would not have received mixed reviews.”
Nelson humbly acknowledged his misjudgment of the timeline for completing the film and acknowledged the disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic to the shooting schedule, resulting in incomplete scenes. He expressed remorse for not having time to fine-tune and rectify these aspects.
The director also expressed his regret for not meeting Vijay’s expectations, as the actor had entrusted him with the film. He commended Vijay for his unwavering support and cooperation throughout the filmmaking process and praised his outstanding performance.
