Ajith approves Asal villain

Rajiv Krishna, who made his debut as hero in Aaha, will don the baddie role in the Ajith starrer Asal. Director Saran said that he was keen on using Rajiv Krishna in his films for a long time. The director added that he knew of Rajiv Krishna through his friend, director Suresh Krishna. Incidentally, Suresh and Saran were assistants to the ace director K Balachander and Rajiv was the hero in Suresh Krishna-directed Aaha.

The director said that he was waiting for the right opportunity to cast him in his film and Asal seemed to be the right one. Sources also say that Rajiv also has Ajith’s approval.

It may be recalled that Rajiv played villain in the recently released Newtonin Moondram Vidhi and was appreciated for it.
