ACTOR ROBO SHANKAR INTERVIEW

Post Idharkuthaane Aasaipattai Balakumara, Balaji Mohan offered me a big role in Vaayai Moodi Pesavum. I am a person who trusts the content and situation more than reading the dialogues and delivering them. After seeing my performance on day one, he asked his assistants to just tell me the content alone, and this gave us the ease to work with each other. We had a great sync from day one which later on grew further. Then my biggest happiness Maari started with Dhanush where I got all the freedom to try out anything new on the spot. We all know who Dhanush is but despite being in such a stardom he let me do anything I wished and I should thank Balaji Mohan for that.

Maari has changed my life. This movie has given me the perfect break and many people have started recognising my talent after Maari. And I have also got the biggest everlasting friendship from Dhanush. We whatsapp regularly and he blesses me each and every time. I will always be thankful to him throughout my life and I am eagerly waiting for his call for our next work together.

Each and every day it was a laugh riot on the sets. When we go for the take, I used to say something on the spot and Dhanush would laugh immediately and praise and admire me for the spontaneity. Its a big thing, many artists would never allow this kind of freedom but Dhanush stands out in everything.

Mainly we need to know the pulse of the audience to pull them to the screen. We should be thoroughly updated about the trending talks of college and school students. Timely update is very important when you need to be a successful comedian. I regularly update myself.

If we aren’t updated nothing can be done because people are clear and clever now, it’s highly difficult to make them laugh. I basically learn and analyse what people want.
