IÂm an entertainer, not a hero: Vishal
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,May 12 2009]
Actor Vishal, whose ÂThoranai will hit screens next Friday, says he has tired playing not a hero, but an entertainer in his forthcoming flick. Directed by Saba Ayyappan, the film is a bilingual, called ÂPista in Telugu.
ÂWhile IÂve constantly been working in films as an action hero, this is the first time that I think I have been given my due as an actor who can do comedy. As the film was slated to release for summer, we wanted to do a film that will be enjoyable to all. And sans unbelievable heroism, I have opted for some good entertaining fare in the film, says the actor, who says he thinks action comes good to him. ÂI donÂt know how good I am in dance or in romance, but I think I am good when it comes to action, he said.
Agreeing to reports that suggested that his face was losing its sheen owing to excessive exercises, the actor said he took the comments in his stride and will work about it. ÂMy mother has also pointed out that the glow in my face has dwindled. I sometimes think of the producer who saw me and said Âsomeone like you can never be a heroÂ. Everytime I see the mirror I think of him. IÂm glad I am in a better state today, because the very same producer came to me looking for dates for a film. I couldnÂt accommodate him, however, says the actor.
'Thoranai' has Vishal paired with Shriya and the duo will team up once again for his 'Theeradha Vilayaatu Pillai'.
