Basically you can say, I just lived the role, of Ilango I played in Rojakkoottam.

Q: You are one of the cute looking heroes as of now? You definitely have a lover boy image? Do you think this would get in the way if you wanted to do a tough guy role? Or are you confident you will take it with ease like you did with the role in Rojakkottam?

My sincere thanks to him and the whole Rojakkottam family for standing by me in my first journey.
