dear roja,
acting a scene is a complicated process and in the end result is important.firstly the whole scene nearly ten minutes was shot in one take,except for the end dialogue.secondly it is where ratnavel finds out his sonhas betrayed him,thirdly parthiban is stuck and nowhere to go.finally i do what the director wants and tells me to do.if you see in many famous movie scenes where a serious scene is going on and an actor is crying if another actor tries to emote or do anything it disturbs the flow and diverts the attention of the viewer.that is why i stood still angry and confused for parthiban still dosent know that his father has found out the truth and he still is confused and thinks that his father has gone mad.
that scene belonged to mohan ram and i cant be trying to divert attention from him while he is pouring his heart out as rathnavel.
you might not be aware of this but for an actor the most difficult thing is being still when somebody is talking and especially for a long time.
after a scene is taken and aired we can discuss pros and cons but then you should remember everybody feels differently and reacts differently.that scene was shot in 45 minutes for we were racing against time.
anyway does it matter for a serial which might end soon.
love
satish
