Interview | Savin Sa, director of ‘Vaazha II’, on what went into making the successful sequel

Directorial debut and that too the sequel of a hit movie. Not the easiest of situations for Savin Sa when he came on board to direct Vaazha : Biopic of a Billion Bros, the sequel of Vaazha : Biopic of a Billion Boys, both written and co-produced by filmmaker Vipin Das, whose filmography reads hits such as Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey (2022) and Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil (2024). A week into its release, with the blockbuster film raking in the moolah at the box office, Savin is relieved.

“Honestly, we did not expect this level of love and appreciation. Initially, when Vipin chettan asked me to come on board I felt some pressure. But my fears were allayed by him and his team of writers. Everyone has put in their best. We had each others’ back and the film has worked because of the teamwork,” says Savin, who has been Vipin’s associate in Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey and was the associate director in Vaazha I, directed by Anand Menen.
