ÂRavana actor turns entrepreneur
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,May 22 2009]
Remember Munna, who played protagonist in the sleazy flick, Silanthi? The actor, who is yet to earn a name for himself in the industry, is hoping he will make it big with Mani RatnamÂs ÂRavana in which he plays an important role.
Ask him about the film and he cheers up. ÂThis news of being part of a Mani Ratnam film came about when I was contemplating quitting Kollywood. I had gone through a rough patch here, not to forget my engagement with Anu, which didnÂt work out then. ThatÂs when I received an offer to do a role in ÂRavanaÂ. I consider myself blessed for this, says the actor, adding that he plays a significant role in the flick. ÂA twist in the entire story is caused because of something I do. I got into the role through a proper audition only, says the actor who has dedicatedly worked hard for the role, even shedding some weight and getting himself a new look, with a moustache and beard.
Following ÂRavanaÂ, Munna has earned himself a role in ÂKanden KadhalaiÂ, a remake of ÂJab We MetÂ, in which he plays a big role. A film with Manasa is also on the cards.
And now for the big surprise. The actor has also turned entrepreneur by starting a coffee shop in the city. Apart from this, he will also work in a Sinhalese film.
