Mahesh Babu On ‘Spyder’: “It Feels Like A Debut Film”

Mahesh Babu stunned the Tamil audience with his full-fledged speech in Tamil at the audio launch of his bilingual Spyder. The film, directed by AR Murugadoss, has music composed by Harris Jayaraj.

Speaking at the occasion, he said, “Spyder is my first straight Tamil film. After 18 years in this industry, I feel like acting in a debut film as many mentioned this as my launch. Murugadoss and I were supposed to work 10 years ago and I am happy that our collaboration finally happened. He has executed the script brilliantly, with the character being very close to my heart.”

About Harris Jayaraj’s music, he said, “Harris has done excellent work with the background scores and again in this film, he has given his best work.”

He also reveals how Spyder wasn’t initially planned to be a bilingual. “The film has been made on a budget of Rs 120 crores. So, for the producers to make profit, especially when the film goes beyond one industry market, it helps the film and that’s why we decided to make it a bilingual.”

Mahesh also mentioned that he wanted to do a remake of Vijay’s film Thuppaki. He also rendered Vijay’s famous punch line, ‘I’m waiting’, much to the audience’s delight.
