The real story behind Lee

Arriving at the titles for the movies these days is no easy task. Ask Sibiraj, he would vouch for it.

Speaking about his Lee, which is currently underway, Sibiraj says over 300 titles were suggested for the movie initially. The greatest difficulty was to choose a catchy title and at the same time ensure that it is a perfect Tamil one.

After intense discussion, we decided to settle down with Lee based on the character name of lead role played by me (Leeladharan).

When the name was suggested, everyone liked it and appreciated it, he added.

Sibiraj further said, 'The greatest difficulty then was to prepare myself for the role. I ensured that I look different and changed my mannerism a lot. Grew long hair and beard too.'

Since Sibiraj plays a footballer, he underwent football coaching at the YMCA every evening. Lee directed by Kokki fame Solomon features Nila opposite Sibiraj.
