Shoot at Site: Vijay Antony and Raveena Tandon breathe life into this emotional courtroom drama
The high-spirited team of Lawyer was shooting in a court set when we dropped by recently. The film's ensemble cast, comprising Vijay Antony , Raveena Tandon , VTV Ganesh , and Anumol, among others, was in action as we tiptoed our way around the shooting spot to catch up with filmmaker Joshua Sethuraman . When we caught up with him, the Gentlewoman director let us in on some details about the shoot. 'We are currently shooting the exterior portions of the district court in a nonchronological order. We've created a real-life court setup for the same,' he said. I GOT EMOTIONAL WHEN JOSHUA NARRATED THIS FILM'S SCRIPT: VIJAY ANTONY Vijy Antony tells us that he is playing a lawyer in the film for which he is donning many hats (he is also its producer and music composer). Sharing further details, he says, 'I had watched Joshua's debut film, Gentlewoman , and asked whether he had any films in hand for me. He came to meet me the very next day, and the project was 'on'. I got emotional when Joshua narrated the film's script (which is an emotional commercial story) to me. I also liked his thought process. When a script is narrated to me, I quickly make the decision on whether I should be producing it. We then started the film's shoot within two-and-a-half months.' MY ROLE IN LAWYER IS POWERFUL, MANIPULATIVE AND CONNIVING: RAVEENA TANDON Raveena Tandon, who returns to Tamil cinema after 24 years with the film, tells us she's all excited for the 'well-written film' as well as her role in it. 'Although I have played a lawyer in Patna Shukla (2024), my character in Lawyer will be completely different. She is powerful, manipulative, and conniving. She knows what she is doing. For her, it's not about being righteous but about victory. She will take any step to win. When I heard the film's plot from director Joshua (Sethuraman), I completely loved it. This film will be about the fight for justice and humanitarian rights. I truly believe that justice needs to be served,' she says. WORKING WITH RAVEENA TANDON AND VIJAY ANTONY IS LIKE WORKING WITH NEW ACTORS: JOSHUA During the shoot break, Joshua tells us, ' Lawyer 's scale is huge. Working with Raveena Tandon and Vijay Antony is like working with new actors who've put their trust entirely in me. They don't even look at the monitor. Raveena ma'am tries to get the scene paper in advance to be able to memorise the dialogues and concentrate on her lip sync.'
