You are right! I always wanted to break the chocolate boy image of mine. Actually it was Siddique Sir who chose me for Sadhu Miranda.

Were you surprised when the role was offered to you?

After Siddique Sir saw my first film Azhagiya Theeye, we kept in touch almost every week.

After he wrote the script of Sadhu Miranda, he thought I would be the perfect choice. He offered me the role and I felt it was one of the best roles I could get.

As you know he has worked with all the top artistes in the industry and all his films have been huge hits.

When he narrated the script, I felt it was the right script to change my image.

Was it tough for you to come out of the chocolate boy image?

I was confident that I could do any kind of role but unfortunately I was offered only the same kind of roles, in the same kind of light hearted romantic films.

I didn't want to be typecast. I wanted a script where I became an action hero slowly so that the audience would know that I can be an action hero too.
