I enjoyed acting under him. It is a treat to do scenes where you silently enact. Because my appearance and voice are different, I don't look like him. But in this film, he let me do the acting in my way. He said, he would enact every scene and ask his actors to do the same thing.Įxcept in one film, his lead actor was his brother Dhanush and he looks like Selva. O nce when I interviewed Selva, I asked him why his protagonists looked and behaved like him. On the other hand, in the first film, I was completely spoon-fed. It never felt like acting. It was feeling the moment. He would tell us what he wanted but gave us the freedom to improvise on our expressions. He allowed me do a shot the way I wanted to after explaining it to me. Every actor wants to work with him, The good thing is that he gave me a lot of confidence. How different was the experience working with him?Įverybody knows that he is one of the best directors in the country. You said you signed the film because of Selva. Imagine getting applause for using bad words! That was fun! There was a long shot in the film where I would walk and keep shouting all the bad words in Tamil and after the shot was canned, there was a huge applause from those who watched.
#Karthi stills in paruthiveeran license#
And in this film, I had the license to abuse people in foul language! I thoroughly enjoyed because in real life, I would have never been able to utter those words! I am not allowed to. H ow was the experience of using all those expletives? I also felt that after Paruthiveeran, people expected something special from me. It all fell into place for me when Selva offered me this. After seeing Paruthiveeran, he said we should do something other than romance, perhaps an adventure. The major attraction was to work with Selva, who called me up with a different script in mind.
Is that what attracted you when you were offered the film soon after Paruthiveeran? So, to be able to live in that period itself is a new experience, which I don't think I will get again in life. Two periods are depicted in the film one in the 12th century and the other is contemporary. This is an attempt to create something on those lines. Films with pirates, mummies have not been seen in Tamil before. After the kinds of films Jayashakanr did, such films were not seen in Tamil. It is an adventure film, a genre that has not been attempted in recent times. What is so special about Aayirathil Oruvan? I had never done anything like that before. I had to do stunts which required huge leaps. I had to go for physical training for Aayirathil Oruvan. H ow did you tide over the difficult period? I had offers to work in films but then I couldn't take up any of them up. I couldn't change my looks to work in any other films. There were times the sets were put up but we didn't work for three months. Were there moments when you felt anxious? Paruthiveeran too took time to make but I knew we were making something very interesting. There are moments when I do get restless but then I stop to think of what I have done which is something big and special. It has been a long wait, almost two years. Karthi tells Shobha Warrier of the long wait. His third film, a breezy entertainer is in the final stages of shooting.
Now the promising youngster is all set to for his second film Aayirathil Oruvan directed by Selvaraghavan. The film took a long time to complete. K arthi, son of veteran actor Sivakumar and brother of the hottest Tamil star, Suriya had a dream debut in Ameer's Paruthiveeran.
