He looked menacing as the paternal
uncle of Sandhya in Kadhal. But,
this man is no actor by profession
and that is why we have seldom seen
him on screen since. Spotted by
Balaji Shakthivel’s assistant
in a hospital, he was drafted straight
into Kadhal, a decision that Balaji
Shakthivel himself admitted to have
reconsidered many times because
of the man’s inability to
be tutored to act. But, perhaps
that is what made his role so realistic
and believable in the end. The most
realistic touches were the instances
which showed how he managed his
life and daily activities with just
one hand; they looked straight out
of life. |
