I had a scene in 'Nanban'. There was a scene where everyone was sitting together with Sathyaraj sir, and Vijay sir was also there. He is an actor who is known and loved by everyone in our country. Kerala is a small state," 'Home' actor said.The actor further spoke about his background and explained why the experience meant a lot to him. He said coming from a comparatively small industry, getting the chance to work with a widely admired actor felt memorable.He also opened up on his role in 'Nanban' and the atmosphere on the set, "For someone from our small industry to get the chance to meet a person like him felt like God's blessing. Even though my role in Nanban was small, the director himself was such a big personality. Getting the chance to perform when he says 'action' is itself a blessing. It was a huge crew. But the set was extremely quiet, very silent. Sir would come near us, explain everything very calmly, and then leave."Apart from Vijay, Indrans also spoke about filmmaker Shankar and his wish to work in one of the director's projects. The actor recalled how Shankar noticed his work during a period when he was appearing in comedy films.Indrans also revealed that despite working in serious roles, his comedy performances attracted attention.Sharing more details, Indrans explained that his style and voice also suited the comic space in which he was working at that time."I always wanted to act in a film directed by Shankar sir. He noticed me. During that time, I was mostly doing comedy films. I was also doing serious roles, but he called me after seeing my comedy performances. He had watched Three Idiots and that itself is a comedy film. Even my voice suits that style, and I kept it the same while dubbing too," Indrans said.Meanwhile, 'Karuppu' continues its theatrical run with positive audience response.
