Though his performance as a menacing superpower villain in Suriya starrer ‘Ezham Airvu’ got rave reviews, American born Johnny Tri Nguyenwas not to be seen in any Tamil film after that. However the Hollywood stuntman is making a comeback in Tamil films with Atharvaa-Priya Anand starrer ‘Irumbu Kuthirai.’

Speaking in an interview about how he took the ‘Ezham Arivu’ actor on board for his debut directorial Yuvaraj Bose said that he zeroed in on Nguyen since he needed a powerful personality to don the villain role in his film. That Nguyen is a biker apart from being stuntman is made him the ideal choice for the role. Yuvaraj made us know that Nguyen is the brand ambassador for a high-end racing bike in Vietnam.

The director went on to reveal that Nguyen was highly delighter when he was offered this role since he had never acted in a movie that would require him to use his biking skills.
