The Viva
A day with Sampath and Jashwanth
ViVa obviously turned out into an over-night success. Did you expect such a huge turnout?
No not really, The main plan was to make the video picture-perfect and adding a humorous touch to it. We didn’t really expect such a turnout. (Laughs while saying it) I was astounded.
The humor embedded in the video is A-Class. Have done a few movies before ViVa ?
We did a film before actually () We did an Omkar spoof before and we got a huge review for that too. As for humor, I guess it is because the whole team has this spontaneity in us. We spend a lot of time together and pull each other legs left right center (Laughs), so I guess that paid off big time. (Smiles)
Can you share with us any insights during the pre-production?
We were just in the moment. Myself, Jaswanth , Harsha and the team were sitting in the terrace rehearsing our dialogues and then decided on just doing it right away. We felt that there required no developments to the dialogues as they were already light-hearted and humorous. We never pre-planned
