Started following Sivakarthikeyan fans to escalate my editing skills: Editor Ruben

Editor Ruben, who worked on two biggest films of this year such as Vivegam and Mersal, talks about his experience with Sivakarthikeyan’s Velaikkaran directed by Mohan Raja which is all set to hit screens on December 22nd.

“Sivakarthikeyan has been my close friend over years and this happens to be my second film after ‘Remo’. But being an editor, I had to start approaching him like a star than a friend to ensure that the output turns up well. To be precise, I started following Sivakarthikeyan fans to escalate my editing skills in Velaikkaran and analysed what they actually expect from him. It naturally gave me lots of inputs to work on editing and incorporating them with demands of the story was pretty challenging,” says Ruben.

“Velaikkaran is quite a challenging film as it involves so many layers as a story. To maintain the ratio of emotions, entertainment and social responsibility that the film possesses demanded scrupulous efforts,” Ruben added.
