It is not me who will make a film good there is the director, the technicians, and the others who make the film work. At least, because of the expectations, you can push yourself harder though you may fall short of expectations a few times. It is very bad if people don't expect anything from an actor. Image: A scene from Paiyaaĭ o you feel because of these two films, people may expect a lot from you all the time? I am learning the grammar from very good filmmakers. But not many actors get such roles in their career. Four years of my life have gone! I will never get them back. But then I had to pay a price for it too. Not everyone would get such roles in the beginning of one's career. They feel that this guy will put in an effort and be serious.

An actor has the advantage of working with different directors on different genres.ĭo filmmakers come to you with good scripts because your first two films were serious and different? But the fact is, we need a share of both the films. So, you would like to be known as a serious actor rather than just a commercial one? I must admit strong films are more interesting to me as by the end of the day's shooting, you feel good.

The effort to look and play someone else in itself will make you interested in a film. It was my first film but a very strong character. Paruthiveeran was a difficult film to work on.

W hich is more enjoyable for you as an actor?Īn actor has to do everything, all genres of films. After doing very heavy scenes in my first two films, in Paiya, I was romancing a girl, talking all sorts of funny things and doing all light things just as if I were not acting! After Paruthiveeran and Aayirathil Oruvan, I felt doubtful whether I was doing the right film. I would say I was not working in the real sense in Paiyaa. How do you compare the experience of working in a light hearted film like Paiyaa to your other two films which were quite serious? In Satara, we shot in the middle of the city and there was absolutely no problem. The film maker has taken so much pains to find the correct location as he wants each place to look stunning. So, you romance through the rear view mirror?Įxactly! You can see us sitting in the front and back in the songs. No, she sits behind! That is why it is very interesting! Where does she sit? Next to you in the car? H ow many days does it take you to reach Mumbai? Of course. What fun will a guy have if there is no girl to travel with him! But I meet many others on the way. So, she is there with you from Bangalore to Mumbai? I don't go alone I pick up Tamannah right at the beginning itself. I play Shiva, a guy who is looking for a job.ĭo you start your journey alone? Where do you meet Tamannah? Paiya! ( paiyaa means a young boy or man). I get to do a lot of stunts, car chases and songs! We shot on the Bangalore and Hyderabad highways. Though it is not very dramatic, there are a lot of events happening in the journey.įrom Bangalore to Mumbai. It's about two strangers travelling in a car. But there are elements in it which will mark it apart from the regular films. W hat is Paiyaa about? Is it a love story? I had no make-up for Paiyaa while it took an hour to put on the make-up for Aayirathil Oruvan, and an hour to remove it. And, for Paiyaa, they gave me eight sets of clothes to change in a day!Īfter being deprived of any good clothes for so many months, I was happy and told them I would never complain about dress changes. I was dying to start shooting for Paiyaa. I was wearing the same clothes for months while doing Aayirathil Oruvan and I was dying to wear good clothes. It was extremely relaxing as I got to sing, dance and romance! I could be myself. Was moving from Aayirathil Oruvan to Paiyaa relaxing for you?
PARUTHIVEERAN LAST SCENE MOVIE
