“The director in me will not come out while working for ‘Yudham Sei’. Because I very well know any kind of interference could affect a filmmaker’s creativity”, says Cheran, who is playing the lead role in the movie directed by Mysskin.

He adds: “I have complete confidence on Mysskin. So I comfortably forget the fact that I am a filmmaker when working with him. So there is no question of director Cheran interfering in Mysskin’s work.”

On how he landed up playing the protagonist in an action movie, Cheran says, “It all happened when I approached producer Kalpathi S Aghoram for my forthcoming directorial venture ‘Adhutha Thalaimurai’.”

“Before starting the project, he wanted me to play the lead role in ‘Yudham Sei’. Though I had apprehensions playing a CB-CID officer, Mysskin convinced me saying the film is about a cool cop who would not display heroism but intelligence.”
