The much-awaited ‘Avan Ivan’ of Director Bala recently witnessed its audio launch and the tracks are already creating chartbusters. The ace director who spoke during the event expressed that ‘Avan Ivan’ will be a typical Bala movie but also a laugh riot! His earlier movie with two lead stars, ‘Pithamagan’ featuring Vikram and Suriya was a blockbuster and also received much critical acclaim. He expressed his confidence that ‘Avan Ivan’ will be a similar hit with two lead stars and spoke of Vishal’s efforts in acting as a squint-eyed person in the movie, a first of it’s kind effort taken internationally.

However, while answering people of who acted best, Vishal or Arya, he said there’s someone who has exhibited even more in this movie, GM Kumar. Bala vouched that if Sivaji Ganesan were to be alive he would have been so proud and glad watching GM Kumar’s performance!

We watched GM Kumar play ‘Mayandi Thevvar’ in Veyil that created a huge impact among audiences. GM Kumar has contributed in more than one way to Kollywood. But, what made him drift to acting? GM Kumar claims that acting was the last thing he wanted to do although he was thoroughly passionate about movies. He also expressed that Bala is a director who you can rely upon to provide you with lots of space for the end performance, which is what that encourages an actor to bring out the best in him. In an exclusive with IndiaGlitz he spoke to us about his career, his connection with Sivaji Ganesan’s family and more, check out ‘Videos’ section for the same!

All this has only added more to look forward to from Bala’s ‘Avan Ivan’ that is scheduled for a release shortly!
