While addressing the media at a press conference, SJ Suryah said that he had been “craving” to work with the 75-year-old actor and now that he will, he is kind of nervous.
“Even before I ventured into showbiz as an assistant director, I craved for this moment to work with him. Now, to see it happening is great, but at the same time, creates nervousness to the core to imagine and see that I am going to share the screen space with him,” SJ Suryah said, as reported by a leading website.
Tha Tamilvanan, who was also present at the press conference, said that it is a dream come true moment for him to direct Big B in Uyarndha Manidhan.
