Having played serious roles in films like ‘Arindhum Ariyamalum’, ‘Pattiyal’, ‘Naan Kadavul’ and ‘Madrasapattinam’, Arya finds it difficult to work in ‘Boss Engira Baskaran’, a full-length comedy movie by Rajesh of ‘Siva Manasula Sakthi’ fame.

The actor, who has acquired the release rights of the film from its producer K S Srinivasan, says, “Attempting humour in front of the camera is a gift and not everyone could do it with ease. It’s doubly so for a person like me.”

Elaborating, he says, “When Rajesh enacts a scene, it would sound simple. But the real challenge is performing it before the camera with all seriousness. For a fun loving guy like me, acting in comedy scenes without laughing is a lot of hard work.”

On ‘Madrasapattinam’, which is hitting screens today, he says, “I play Ilamparithi, a young dhobi who falls in love with the daughter of Governor of the Madras province. A twist comes to their affair when India gets independence on 15 August 1947. The film has been beautifully made by Vijay and I am eagerly waiting for its result.”
