Actor-filmmaker Ramesh Aravind said the team of Uthama Villain condensed over 80,000 hours of sweat into the film, slated for worldwide release on April 2. "As a team, we worked really hard on this film. We condensed 80,000 hours of sweat into a two-and-a-half-hour film. The two stories, set in 8th century and 20th century, are linked together with a great screenplay," Ramesh said during the audio release of the film in Chennai.
"The stories have a great mix of comedy and drama. It's a film that we can all be proud of. I really need to thank Kamal (Haasan) sir for giving me the opportunity to direct this project," he said.
Uthama Villain is the last film of late legendary filmmaker K Balachander, aka KB, who launched the careers of Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan. Balachander plays Kamal's mentor in the film. "The first scene between Kamal sir and KB sir will be terrific. It will be the clash of two legends," Ramesh said.
Talking about his guru, Kamal said, "Had he not spotted me, my life would've been different. He shaped my career and I will continue his work and carry his legacy forward. I would've remained a fan of cinema without KB sir's support. He's amahaguru for many of us. It was an honour to act with him," Kamal said.
