After making a sensational debut as director with the comedy horror Yaamarikkum Bayame, Deekay is all set to start work on his third movie Kaatteri. This adventure horror stars debutant Aadi Saikumar and Oviya in lead roles. The movie is produced by E. Gnanavel Raja under the Studio Green banner.

Galatta.com has an exclusive chat with Deekay in which he shared about Kaatteri.

Galatta: How did the collaboration with Studio Green come about?
Deekay: Gnanavel Raja and I were in talks during the making of my second movie Kavalai Vendam. We wanted to work together and when I was ready with this script, Gnanvel Raja liked it and agreed to make this movie.

G: Was it difficult to work with a big producer like Gnanavel Raja?
D: Not at all. He is a very cooperative producer and he has a passion for what he does. In fact the title of the movie Kaatteri was suggested by him.

G: What is the story all about?
D: Kaatteri is an adventure horror movie. it is like the grandmother stories that we have heard growing up; which have thrills, scares, excitement and adventure.

G: Coming to the casting of the movie; was it a conscious decision to not work with big stars?
D: We did think about casting big names; but decided against it. We did not want to compromise on the story and making changes to the script to suit the stars would dilute the impact. Thankfully Gnanavel Raja also agreed on this. I would have to say at this point there are two heroes in this movie; the script and Gnanavel Raja.

Deekay was all praise for his producer and given the confidence he has in Studio Green, Kaatteri is sure to have a smooth sailing production. The movie is currently in pre-production stages.
