Director Vincent Selva who is known for his films like Priyamudan and Youth with Thalapathy Vijay is a very good friend of director Vijay Milton. Our sources inform us that he will be acting in Vijay Milton's next Golisoda - 2. We got in touch with Vijay Milton to know more details about their friendship, his cameo in GST - 2 and more.
He opened up, "Ever since we studied in the film institute, Selva and I have been good friends for about 25 years now. Selva was interested in photography, but he could only bag a seat to hone his direction skills at the institute. Whereas it was the exact opposite for me, I wanted to get into direction but ended up doing a course in cinematography. Thanks to Selva, I got a break in Priyamudan as a cameraman."
Vijay Milton also recalls an incident during the shoot of Priyamudan, "The team was asked to lock in a different cameraman. But Selva fought for me, told them to just give me a day's work to prove my mettle and made me a cameraman."
Speaking about Golisoda - 2, the cinematographer-turned director says, "A popular Malayalam actor plays the antagonist in the film. We needed a character in a particular sequence to play with the antagonist. That character needed a face with an equal charisma and also a low profile so that the antagonist's charisma stays the same. Selva came to my mind; I asked him to grow his beard and we shot it."
Vijay Milton also revealed that Vincent Selva's original name is just Selva. He added 'Vincent' as a prefix because of his love towards the great photographer.
