Veteran actor Jayaram seems to be the toast of Tamil Cinema after being part of the successful ventures 'Dhaam Dhoom' and 'Saroja'.

On opting to play a baddie in 'Dhaam Dhoom', he said, “I was not keen to do a negative role. In my career which has spanned over 25 years, I was approached for the first time to play a villain. It lured me and hence I agreed. But then the role was a portrayal in a dignified manner”.

Shooting for ‘Saroja’ was a terrific experience. Everyone was friendly on the sets and the youngsters involved in the project had the fire in them to succeed. Shooting for the movie was indeed a great joy'.

On his forthcoming film 'Aegan' in which he is cast alongside Ajith, Jayaram, said, “I play a comical role in the film. I appear all through the movie. I am sure it will bring the roof down in theaters with laughter”.

Complimenting Ajith, he says, “He is a man of dedication. He speaks less but lets his films do the talking. He is one of the focused artistes in the industry”.
