Binny Mills compound in Perambur was abuzz with activities on the day we landed there. Reason? Director Rajesh was shooting a peppy song for his Mr Local. His team had recreated a busy street, and we also spotted posters of old films and a garage full of damaged cars and jeeps there.

Dressed in casual wear, Sivakarthikeyan was rehearsing his moves with Sathish and other junior artistes for the intro song, composed by Hip Hop Adhi and choreographed by Dinesh. Cinematographer Dinesh Krishnan was busy discussing the compositions with his team and ADs. After the shot, Sivakarthikeyan and Sathish had a costume change and they reappeared clad in a shirt and veshti.

This song and the film have come out well. In fact, what we are shooting now are the patchwork portions. We will move on to do dubbing after this.
