Chennai, July 12 (NationPress) Anl Arasu, one of India's premier stunt choreographers and a newly minted director, has called out those criticizing actor Surya Sethupathi, the son of renowned actor Vijay Sethupathi, who stars in the hit film Phoenix. He emphasized that the trolls should recognize they are impacting not just Surya's life but also the futures of 28 other aspiring actors whose careers were launched through this film.
At a Thanksgiving gathering organized by the film's team, Anl Arasu expressed gratitude for the acclaim the film has received as a well-executed action entertainer, despite the negative comments flooding social media aimed at the young actor.
In an emotional address, Anl Arasu made a heartfelt appeal to the trolls targeting Surya Sethupathi.
He stated, "I aimed for this film to be technically sound. Each actor has poured their heart into this project. There’s an actor named Rohith, an Asian gold medalist in Mixed Martial Arts, who spoke before me. He’s a remarkable champion, and there are 28 other talented boys involved in this film as well.
"It disappoints me that Surya has become the sole focus of criticism regarding this film. This project was not solely made for Surya Sethupathi. I am debuting as a director through this film, and Rohith is also making his mark, along with 28 other boys whose opportunities are tied to this project.
"I kindly urge those trolling Surya Sethupathi to understand they are not just affecting his life; they’re also jeopardizing the futures of the 28 boys whose careers depend on this film. After 32 years as a stunt master, having faced death numerous times, this film represents my directorial debut. We all have our lives invested in this project."
He continued, "I want to express that, through my hard work and divine grace, I’ve progressed to the level of producing a film. The success of Phoenix is a collective achievement, not mine alone. I hope my journey inspires more technicians to advance in their careers, creating job opportunities for everyone in the industry. This will significantly support our growth as professionals."
He concluded with a plea, stating, "Our humble request is to consider this film not just a Surya Sethupathi film — the lives and careers of 28 young boys also hinge on its success. Supporting this film will aid both the boys and us in our career advancements, paving the way for future generations. The script wasn’t originally crafted for Surya, yet he delivered an exceptional performance. I witnessed his dedication firsthand; at his age, he contributed over a hundred percent to this film. He has a brilliant future ahead."
