Lyricist Viveka won't turn actor

Lyricist Viveka, who has his platter full with a number of projects, shares the details...
When he was writing poems for his college magazine a few years ago, little did Viveka know that he would soon emerge as one of the most sought-after lyricists in Kollywood. And now, the lyricist is basking in the success of his works.
���������I have been in the industry for almost eight years now and have written more than 500 songs.I���������m glad that most of them have become chartbusters too. When small children keep singing the numbers I have written, I feel on top of the world. I never really thought that I would enter the film industry. It was a chance meeting with SA Rajakumaran that fetched me the chance to write for Nee Varuvaai Ena. Since then, there has been no looking back,��������� begins the young lyricist.
Viveka has now a plethora of projects in his kitty including Rowthiram, Singam Puli, Ko, Velayudham, Aravaan, Venghai and Vettai. ���������For Joshua Sridhar���������s forthcoming film, Yuvan, I���������ve penned all the seven songs in the album in a day. It���������s a beautiful love story and when I completed the lyrics, I felt elated,��������� he says.
Viveka considers Kanthasamy as the milestone in his career. ���������That���������s because I wrote the lyrics for all the songs in a film for the first time and all of them went on to become superhits. I also sang with Vikram sir for the title song. The whole experience was unique and special,��������� he smiles.
Now that his counterparts like Pa Vijay and Snehan are testing new waters by turning actors, will Viveka follow suit? ���������Not at all! You won���������t believe me, but I got a few offers to turn actor, but my heart lies in lyric-writing and that���������s what I want to do all my life. I���������m content with that,��������� he concludes.
