Shooting of massive climax sequence featuring 100 stunt men for Vishal's 'Magudam' underway!
Chennai, Nov 1
The makers of director and actor Vishal's eagerly awaited action entertainer 'Magudam' have disclosed that the unit is now in the process of shooting a massive climax sequence featuring around a 100 stunt men.
Vishal Film Factory, the production house of the actor, took to its X timeline on Saturday to post a video clip showing the unit shooting an intense action sequence. The production house wrote, "Vishal’s’ Directoral Debut movie Magudam/Makutam climax goes massive. Intense action at its peak with 100 stuntmen and 800 crew members." The action sequence is being shot in Chennai.
It may be recalled that actor Vishal has also begun dubbing for the film, which will also mark his debut as a director. Sources close to the actor disclosed that post-production work on the film is progressing even as the unit is busy filming the climax portion.
It may be recalled that actor Vishal had only recently confirmed that he had taken over as the director of Magudam, saying the decision to direct this film was not made out of compulsion but out of responsibility. For the unaware, well-known director Ravi Arasu was directing this film, which is now in its final stages of shooting. Sources in the industry had told IANS that the actor took over as director after creative differences erupted between him and Ravi Arasu. Video clips showing Vishal issuing instructions to the crew on set were shared on social media.
It may be recalled that actress Dushara Vijayan, who plays one of the heroines in the film, has already completed shooting for her portions. The team, which had completed its third schedule in Ooty, began its final schedule in Chennai at TR Gardens a few days ago.
Actor Vishal plays the lead in this film along with Dushara and Anjali. Vishal commenced shooting for Magudam, his 35th film, on August 1 this year in Chennai. The film boasts an exceptional technical team: acclaimed cinematographer Richard M. Nathan reunites with Vishal after their successful outing in the superhit film Madha Gaja Raja; G. V. Prakash Kumar composes the music, reuniting with Vishal in a Mark Antony–style collaboration; N. B. Srikanth is in charge of editing, Durairaj handles art direction, and costume design is led by Vasuki Bhaskar. - IANS

The technical team looks amazing - Richard M. Nathan for cinematography and GV Prakash for music! This combination worked wonders in Madha Gaja Raja. Hope Vishal's direction does justice to such a talented team.
I'm a bit concerned about the director change mid-way. Creative differences with Ravi Arasu doesn't sound good. Hope Vishal's decision to take over direction works out for the film's quality. Fingers crossed! 🤞
As someone who follows Tamil cinema closely, I appreciate that they're shooting such large-scale sequences in Chennai itself. Great to see our film industry matching international standards in production scale!
Excited to see Dushara Vijayan in this film! She's such a talented actress. Hope she gets good screen time despite all this focus on action sequences. A perfect balance between story and action is what makes a film memorable.
Impressive that they started shooting only in August and are already in the final schedule. That's some tight production planning! Hope the rushed schedule doesn't compromise on quality though.
