Tamil Actor Nasser is back in Sandalwood with ‘Suryakanthi’, directed by KM Chaitanya. He plays grandfather to hero Chetan. Kishori Ballal who in real life is many years older to him plays his pair. That doesn’t bother any and Chaitanya in convinced about the casting. In many Tamil films Nasser has played father to actors who are elder to him. So, it’s all in the game.

It all happened after a telephone call to by Nasser to Chaitanya after watching ‘Aa Dinagalu in Bangalore. When Nasser first called to appreciate Chaitanya the director had thought at first he must be an aspiring asking for a role in his film through compliments. But when Nassar identified himself, Chaitanya realized it was no small actor. The incident made it easier for the director to approach him to cast in Suryakanthi."
