''I TOLD VIJAY THAT HE HAS NUMEROUS FANS IN KERALA''

Vijay 60 directed by Bharathan has one more entrant in the form of Roshan Basheer who had earlier played the role of Asha Sharath's son in Papanasam. Incidentally, Roshan has also essayed the role of Vijay’s fan in Moondru Rasigargal, which is set for a release in June.  He tells behindwoods how he got this offer and how it was to share his thoughts with Ilayathalapathy Vijay.

“One day, I got a call from Vijaya Productions with a role in a film. I told them that I was doing Moondru Rasigargal and will join them after 22nd.  After I met them only, I realized it was for Vijay 60 and I was very happy. Bharathan sir had seen Papanasam and liked my performance. That’s how I got Vijay 60.

Bharathan sir told me the story and explained my character. I play the role of a college student in the film and it will be different from the one I played in Papanasam. It has some value in the film and is also suspense based one. I cannot reveal more than this. They have asked me to change my look, grow my hair and beard.

I shot for four days in Chennai and Hyderabad.

I met Vijay sir who was very friendly. I talked to him for more than 30 minutes. He came to know about our film Moondru Rasigargal and congratulated me. I mentioned that in Kerala, he has so many fans. All the cast and crew of Moondru Rasigargal are also Malayalees only.

Vijay sir appreciated my work in Papanasam and told that this film (Vijay 60) will bring me more recognition in Tamil film industry.

To me it is a dream come true. I play the role of a Vijay fan in one film and I get a chance to feature alongside him in my next. It is unbelievable. I am very happy and consider myself blessed. My next schedule for Vijay 60 will begin from the 3rd June in Hyderabad.”

We wish you the best Roshan!
