Vishwa learns Sri Lankan Tamil for his film with Seenu Ramasamy

After pulling off the role of a footballer with conviction in

Champion

, Vishwa has moved on to his next. The actor will be seen as a Sri Lankan Tamil in a film directed by Seenu Ramasamy.

“I was supposed to be launched by Seenu Ramasamy sir. But, the project did not take off due to various reasons and I debuted with

Susienthiran

sir’s Champion. And now, I’m happy to get a second chance to work with Seenu sir,” Vishwa tells us, “I play a Sri Lankan youngster who migrates to Chennai for work. How his life changes after he meets and falls in love with a girl who works in a spa here is what the film will explore. It will be an entertainer, but steeped in reality. It will be a typical Seenu Ramasamy film, like his

Neerparavai

and Thenmerku Paruvakatru that won awards.”

Interestingly, the film was first announced as Spa, with Mollywood actor Shane Nigam playing the lead. “His dates didn’t work out and I’m doing the film now. Also, the film will not be titled Spa,” informs Vishwa.

The actor is presently taking diction lessons for his role. “I’m learning Sri Lankan Tamil from a coach in Tiruvannamalai now. Seenu sir’s busy with Maamanithan, which has Vijay Sethupathi in the lead. So, we should start pre-production soon after it releases in the next two months. We are looking at shooting this film from March,” Vishwa adds.
