Nag Ashwin: I won’t vent my frustration on sets by shouting at others

During the promotions of Singeetam Srinivasa Rao’s Sing Geetham, Nag Ashwin was asked if he ever loses his cool on set while working on a big film like Kalki 2898 AD. Nag Ashwin replied that he never does so, as it might affect the entire team and the final output.

“Definitely, I get worked up and upset. But I try not to project it onto the people around me. If I end up shouting at people, work gets even worse and results in re-shoots. The thing is that everyone is working their butt off for your vision. It’s very easy to shout at an assistant or a manager. I try to solve the problem,” said Nag Ashwin.

The director added that he indeed gets angry with himself when he fails to spot a problem earlier. Nag Ashwin is currently busy directing Kalki 2, while also actively promoting Sing Geetham.
