Samuthirakani: Making waves

After Sarath Kumar, Thalaivasal Vijay and Prabhu, looks like it is actor-director Samuthirakani’s turn to charm audiences in God’s own country.
Accolades have been heaped on the actor, who recently starred in the Mohanlal hit, Shikkar. Samuthirakani plays the role of a Telugu naxalite leader who gets killed in a fake encounter in the film. What’s more, sources say that a Telugu poem which his character recites in the film has become a rage among the audiences.
After the praiseworthy role, the Naadodigal director seems to be flooded with offers from Mollywood. But the actor seems to have impressed Mohanlal with a script of his own and the buzz is that the duo will be working together again.
“Shikkar got me recognition in Kerala and Lalettan has agreed to act in another project of mine. As of now, my priority is to direct a Tamil film with my friend Sasikumar as hero.”
