Vishwa: New kid on the block

A software engineer by profession, Vishwa, who���������s making his Kollywood debut with Eppadi Manasukkul Vanthai, claims that he was someone who had no interest in acting.
���������My stint with films began when I worked as an assistant director with Lingusamy in Bheema. That was when director PV Prasad (of Kathalil Vizhunthaen fame) approached me for a character role in Eppadi Manasukkul Vanthai.I accepted and then began to work on my physique to suit my character,��������� he begins.
Although most newcomers claim that their break in the industry was an accident, for Vishwa, it literally was one. ���������I had a mishap in the gym and was in the hospital when Prasad came to see me. He was impressed with the way I looked and offered me the lead role instead! I then started to work on stunts and dance, for which I trained for over six months under Kanal Kannan and Supreme Sundar,��������� he reveals.
And his first day of shooting, the actor says, was for a song, Oru Paarvayile.... ���������I was very nervous since it was the first time I was facing the camera. However, it went quite well and by the time we canned the last song, Oorakali..., I became a pro at dancing,���������
Talking about his character, Vishwa says, ���������The movie is a love-action-thriller of sorts. I play a character with shades of grey, who falls in love with a rich girl.���������
Tanvi Vyas, the winner of the Miss India Earth in 2008, plays the female lead. ���������I was initially very nervous and shy about talking to her. I never spoke to her during the first schedule. We got friendly only during the second schedule only, and we have been the best of friends ever since,��������� he laughs.
