Arya prefers to stay away from media limelight these days. For his forthcoming film Naan Kadavul directed by Bala, Arya has grown large beard and has put on weight considerably. On the strict instruction of Bala, the actor prefers to stay away from the flashing lens of the media persons.

The actor recently opened a restaurant in Chennai and he chose to call his friends in the industry and avoided posing for photographs. Similarly a couple of days, he inaugurated a shopping mall in Chennai. To the scores of media persons gathered at the inauguration, the actor urged not to take his photograph.

Arya says, “Since Bala has instructed me not to disclose my appearance, I skip the photographers. Otherwise I have great respect for them. But for their support I would have made it this big in the industry”.
