Various scenes in ’18 Vayasu’, a film which has ‘Renigunta’ fame Johnny as protagonist, have been shot using 120 still cameras, informs the film’s director Panneerselvam.

Panneerselvam, whose debut movie too was ‘Renigunta’, says: “this Time Slice Shots technique was earlier used by director Shankar in films such as ‘Boys’ and ‘Anniyan’ for a couple of scenes.”

“But in ‘18 Vayasu’, we have used the expensive method to shoot at lease eight important scenes. This will give a new experience for those who watch the film in theatres,” the director adds.

Saying that a newcomer Gayathri is paired opposite Johnny in this film, he says, “Both are good in front of camera. ‘18 Vayasu’ will be an important milestone in Johnny’s career.” The film is produced by NIC Arts S S Chakravarthy.
