Bala bets on?

  • IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,April 23 2011]

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 him 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.

IndiaGlitz caught up with GM Kumar, who gives an honest interview about his career so far, his connection with Sivaji Ganesan’s family, his role in ‘Avan Ivan’ and working with Bala and much more… Watch this space for the exclusive interview with the ace film star…
