Continuing his conversation, Vishal Tyagi recalled his memories of working with several actors and directors, including those in the South. The SFX artist also remembered how once Rajinikanth called him “crazy.”
Tyagi said, “Mera toh crew se bohut bonding hota hai. Whichever film, main South mein bhi jaata hoon toh aisa hi hota hai. South mein matlab Rajinikanth bolte the, ‘pagal hai yeh aadmi, pagal hai.’ Kyunki cigarette mere muh mein rehti thi aur main bomb ka connection karta tha. I don’t think anybody hates me, but everyone loves me.”
(My bonding with the crew is always very strong. No matter which film I do, even when I go down South, it’s the same. In the South, Rajinikanth used to say, ‘This man is crazy, absolutely crazy.’ Because I would have a cigarette in my mouth while setting up bomb connections. I don’t think anybody hates me; in fact, everyone loves me.)
