Sadagopan RameshÂs loss is AryaÂs gain
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,January 22 2010]
Now that Sadagopan Ramesh has become a hero in Tamil cinema, the cricketer has revealed one of the best kept secrets of him, that he was approached by late filmmaker Jeeva to act in ÂUllam KetkumeÂ.
ÂJeeva wanted to me play a cricketer in ÂUllam Ketkume (the role was later played by Arya). But I was not able to do it since I was busy with cricket then. Hence I expressed my inability to Jeeva, says Ramesh.
On his Âheroic venture Patta Patti, Ramesh says, ÂI appear myself, Sadagopan Ramesh, the cricketer. It was on the sets of ÂSantosh Subramaniam I met Yuvaraj, the director of the film. Impressed by the comfort factor in the script, I accepted the offer. The cricketer however feels little uncomfortable to act in romantic scenes. ÂThere was a kissing scene and I wasnÂt comfortable doing it. But the director insisted on having it because the story demanded it. So I had no other option.Â
Maintaining that he is ready to act in films if good scripts come his way, Ramesh adds: ÂI donÂt want to compromise on few things when it comes to cinema. And one among them is a good script.Â
