Russian director Oleg Fomin, in a conversation with socialbites.ca, called the late journalist and TV commentator Vasily Utkin a wonderful and sincere person. According to him, during the filming of the film, Utkin did “what he wanted” and the director only corrected him.
“(He was) a sincere, vulnerable, wonderful person. Great (they were working together), he came up to me and said: “Actually, I’m not an artist.” And I say: “Very good, now play as if you are talking to me.” We agreed on the shore: he does what he wants – I just fix it if something does not suit me. I was pleased with almost everything, so the job was great. “It’s a shame,” he said.
Sports correspondent Ivan Karpov reported that Vasily Utkin died on March 19. Utkin was 52 years old.
