Srikanth escaped from fire while shooting
- 08.05.2012

Pagan is being produced by Viswas U Lot in association with
Purushotham on behalf of VP Productions. Srikanth – Janani Iyer are
the lead pair of this movie. Kovai Sarala, Soori, Pondy, George and
Anumohan also starring in Paagan.

The shooting of Paagan is happening in Pollachi, Tirupur and
Kodaikanal. A bomb blast scene has been shot for climax. Very first
time in India SONY F65 camera has been used for shooting. Srikanth has
performed casually in this risky sequences without any dupe. Though
the  safety rope got cut he escaped narrowly.

Talking about this accident Srikanth says, “ Almost I meet accidents
in all my films…there is a strong relation between me and fire..ha
ha…you can call me as an accident baby..Master Supreme Sundar is
always extremely careful on actors  when he shot such sequences…with
his help we have done all risky and dangerous fight sequences very
casually..If this bomb blast sequences went well …Paagan would created
a record as No accident movie while shooting. All advised me not to
take risk and decided to go for dupe… but  I know there is a family
behind the dupe artistes also…if it was a risk for me why not for
him??? So I got ready to perform and was tied by a rope..We did so
many rehearsal…by the time the rope became week..finally the rope got
cut at the take… I slipped and luckily in a spilt second I got out
from the place in which the bomb was going to be blast…The stunt
artistes pulled off  the rope only instead of with me … I could not
believe my escape ..the tension remains till now..

But I ve meet an unforgettable   accident in Manasellam movie…like
that accident happened in Paagan also…

Particularly we shot with SONY F 65 camera. Till now nobody has used
in India. It has the capability of capturing scenes by going inside
the fires…You can realize my narrow escaping when you will watch the
movie…”

Aslam the former associate of Directors Cheran, Ameer and Radha Mohan
debuts himself as a director in Paagan. He has also written the story,
screenplay and dialogue for Paagan.
