Director Mysskin recently delivered an hour-long speech in Chennai about how aspirants can find their footing in the film industry.
Much to the surprise of everyone, the director explained in detail about the story and climax of his upcoming film, ‘Train’, which stars Vijay Sethupathi in the lead role.
Mysskin said, “I have travelled by train at least 300-600 times at least. Think about it, and it feels like a monstrous worm carrying children in its belly, stumbling along and taking them to wherever they need. That’s how I felt when I was a child. This metaphor inspired me to make the film where thousands of people board a train, most reach safely, but some lose their lives.”
He then revealed Vijay Sethupathi’s role in the film and said, “The protagonist wants to die, he’s travelling towards death in disgust. He no longer has a reason to live. He wants to visit his wife’s grave one last time to plant a sapling there before he dies. But a lot of things happen inside the stomach of this monster to make him forget his woes. The experience of his journey teaches him the value of life. How he thinks, had I not come on this journey, met these people, had this experience, he wouldn’t have learnt the value of life…that’s my climax.”
‘Train’ is directed by Mysskin and produced by Kalaipuli S Thanu under V Creations. It stars Vijay Sethupathi, Shruti Haasan, Nassar, Sampath Raj, KS Ravikumar, and others.
