Inspired by an ambulance driver: Director Antony Bhagyaraj
In an exclusive interview with South First, Antony Bhagyaraj disclosed that he was inspired by the behaviour of an ambulance driver whom he chanced to meet.
Explaining the incident, the director recalled, “An incident that happened in my life had a profound impact on me. We were rushing my sister to the hospital and an ambulance driver was helping us take her there. Even while rushing through traffic, the ambulance driver took a second to say a prayer as we passed a temple for my sister.”
He added, “I was stunned. I wondered who he was since he was wholeheartedly wishing to save his patients. So, when I decided to make a film, I wanted my hero’s character to be fashioned after the driver’s characteristics.”
