Vincent Asokan is future perfect

Actor Vincent Asokan is a happy man these days. After a power-packed performance in Yogi, for which he won a Best Villain Award, and a superb act in Kutty, Vincent is gearing up for his other releases this year ��������� Vitthagan, Aathma Raagam and 2010 Bhagyaraj.
���������When I got a call from Ameer, asking me if I would be willing to do a film with him, I didn���������t think twice to accept the offer.Even though I played a villain, he���������s a person who will do anything for his wife. Ameer guided me throughout the film and said my role has a lot of responsibility,��������� recalls Vincent.
And he can���������t stop gushing about Mithran Jawahar and Dhanush as well. ���������In Kutty, my role had no content. I just had to chase Dhanush, Shriya and Sammir. But Jawahar has portrayed me in such a nice manner that I don���������t feel like an extra!��������� he says. Talking about his forthcoming projects, Vincent says, ���������Parthepan offered me Vitthagan after seeing my performance in Yogi. I play the spoilt son of a rich politician, an eccentric character. Parthepan has given me all the freedom to experiment with my character.���������
���������I���������m also working on Aathma Raagam with Jeya Akash. I play a do-gooder, who���������s also a thug. He loves his sister and sacrifices everything for her.���������
Talk about 2010 Bhagyaraj, in which he���������s acting with Premgi, and Vincent���������s eyes light up. ���������I play the villain, a 50-year-old stinking rich guy. What happens when his path crosses with Premgi���������s forms the rest of the story.���������Ask Vincent if he���������s inspired by his father, veteran actor Asokan, he replies pat, ���������Of course, I took up acting because of my father. In fact, he���������s the my biggest motivation. After my big break in Eei, I���������d taken some wrong steps and got lost in the industry. Still, I didn���������t give up acting because my father wouldn���������t have liked it. I fought and finally made a comeback with Pokkiri.��������� Vincent has also played the lead in Sila Nerangalil, opposite Navya Nair. The film, directed by National Award winning director Jayaraj, was about reincarnation. ���������Though the film didn���������t do well, I learnt a lot from it. After all, life is all about learning,��������� Vincent concludes on a philosophical note.
