Anjathe villain prefers analogous roles

Mar 26, 2008, 19:21

His role in Anjathe as a subtle villain has won him accolades. Having started his career as comedy hero, director-cum-actor Pandiarajan’s move to accept this character was definitely a bold one.

The actor, however, states that he was apprehensive that the audience would reject him, or even laugh at
 
scenes that were supposed to be serious. But Mysskin’s ability as a director played a vital role in portraying Pandiarajan’s character to perfection.

Smitten by this bug, the actor said that he is fine with such roles but would not consider highly intense characters. To substantiate his stand he added that his mentor director K. Bhagyaraj had also acted as villain in two films – Kanniparuvathile and Vidiyumvarai Kathiru. Who knows? Another talented director and this comedian could even try out more serious villain roles.
