Manoj K Jayan is one of the rare actors who performs with grace and elegance whatever character he dons in a movie.

Knowing for playing versatile roles, Manoj K Jayan played his part well in movies like Raajamanickyam and Ananthabhadram, though both were of different moulds.

In Tamil too, the actor has good offers coming his way. In an off-beat movie titled Sringaram, Manoj plays a zamindar.

Asked why he too has ventured to Tamil, Manoj K Jayan says, 'Right now, Tamil film industry is on a huge upswing. Heroines and heroes from Malayalam aren't the only people who get jobs here. Even character artistes like me have lot of scope here these days. An actor survives in the film industry only when he gets a variety of role to play. I have the satisfaction of doing such role in Tamil'
