“I have begun my career with two prestigious projects. The journey has just started and I am aware that I have miles to go,” says Dev Gill, who has entered Tamil cinema with ‘Sura’ after crossing swords with Ramcharan Teja in ‘Magadheera’.

Recalling how he was selected by Tollywood director S S Rajamouli to be part of ‘Magadheera’, Gill says, “The filmmaker was conducting audition for the villain role. When I visited his place, I realised that more than 600 people had turned up. However luck favoured me as Rajamouli thought that I would fit to the role.”

On bagging ‘Sura’ offer, he says, “I must thank Vijay. He was the one who recommended me to director S P Rajakumar when the latter was searching for a villain. I later learnt that Vijay was impressed with my performance in Magadheera.”

Showering praises on Vijay, he says, “I am proud that I am the villain of Vijay’s 50th movie. He was very friendly on sets and I became familiar with Tamil because of him. We are now like brothers.”
