When you’re attached to a harness, you feel like your body is being pulled from all directions. I know heroes don’t like the idea of using harness because it’s not a pleasant experience. Talking about the action sequences and how Trisha scored well with her performance, he said: “A lot of action in this film required Trisha to be attached to a harness.

But I took it as a challenge to make the film click with her. “As I said before, you replace Trisha with any hero and this film will still work.

He says Mohini is no less than any commercial film with a well-known hero.
