There are several people who have told/threatened/requested me to make sure that Thalaivar (audience clapping) moments have to be kept intact. I enjoy every moment working on the film. But honestly being a fan and working for your idol helps for me. Praveen is trying his best not to let the fan in him overtake his work, but being a fan has made his work that much more enjoyable. Murali, the cameraman has shot them in a really slick and stylish composition." And finally when we get to see his face in full, it will be a treat.

Praveen credits his director Pa Ranjith, for the perfect sync they share that helps him give his best to the difficult task in hand. It's a huge task for me to keep everything intact as much as I can, keeping the script in mind," said Praveen. The slightest eye movement or expression will rain in the claps. There are lot of intense moments especially in the sequences showing Rajini's growth as a don. So it was really a challenge to make sure the emotional scenes were paced right to get the right feeling. Kabali is an emotional film as much as it is a gangster film. His walk, the way he delivers his dialogues, the style quotient, his timing in the scenes, everything was just perfect."

Praveen agreed that the going was tough, "During the initial days while I was looking at the rushes it was all a fanboy moment for me. This has always been at the back of everyone's head while working for Kabali." How does he decide how much to keep? Is he under pressure being the editor of Rajinikanth's film?
