Hi everybody,
A couple of weeks back i got a call from a production house called camphor cinema and went the next day to meet the director who wanted to meet me.well i was really surprised to know that the gentleman i was meeting was the famous gnana rajashekaran,director of famous and award winnign films such as bharathi and periyaar.Anyway i spent some time talking shop with him and was happy to know that he was interested in casting me in his next film a bio-pic on math genius ramanujam.without a seconds hesitation i said okay and that i was ready.it is going to be a bi-lingual and is going to be shot in both tamil and english.funny note is i will be shaving my head and wearing kudumi wig since i am playing an iyengar from the 1920's.
I know most of have you have followed my career on tv from anandham and until rajakumari and you will always wonder why i choose so little and sometimes vague roles.you will be suprised,irritated and angry to know that i have passed up some major roles in tv and films just because i didn't like the attitude or manners of the director or production house i will be working with.i passed some big movies where my roles were small last year like singam 2,bhoologam and few others.I look for director with teams where i am appreciated and treated with dignity.Yes my dear friends,dignity more than money and fame has been the factor that has ruled my mind and heart from the time i can remember.During my 3rd std in krishnaswamy matriculation school i had a classmate called dorairaj and we always used to share lunch and he used to come home to watch tv at my home in the weekends.he taught me how to fly kites and put manja for the thread and to play marbles.one day he took me home for lunch and only then i realised he lived in the slum part of our area.but it did not matter then nor does it matter now for he treatedme with lot of love and respect.i remember my other classmates used to shun him and make fun of me but it wals like water of a duck's back.
so i will be going to kumbokonam next month for about 8 days of work and i want my forum friends best wishes to motivate me to do better.Over the past 7 to 8 years in our forum i have revealed wanted and unwanted aspects of my personal life and have shown that i am just another ordinary and everyday human being.I consider myself a human being first and an actor the last.be well.
