Actor Vivek is back in the hunt. After lying low in the recent past, he has emerged with a bang in Thaka Dhimi Tha and awaits the release of Solli Adippen besides movies including Anniyan, Kana Kandein and Agaram.

When asked about his a sudden decision to play the hero in Solli Adippen when he was successful playing comedy roles, Vivek corrects, "it's not a sudden move. People have been approaching me with such roles for quite some time now."

If that were the case, why Solli Adippen? "Well, I am not the regular kind of hero in Solli Adippen. I've agreed to play the lead in the film only because the story suits me. The film has plenty of humour and sentiment".

Asked whether he would bid bye to comedy roles once established himself as a successful hero, Vivek says, "I'll continue with comedy, even if I click as a hero".

Asked how did his humour on matters of social awareness evolved, Vivek says, "when the makers of Thirunelveli wanted a comedy track for the film, for the first time I took up a social theme and it became a hit with the audience. I see to it that no personal comments or character maligning find a place in my comedy. It is done in good humour and is received likewise. Nobody is offended," he smiles.
