Spotlight Rishi: Baddie in the making

I stole two months to come up with a new play. AndI���������m here to stay. I acted in a play by one of my colleagues last year andit was crazy... I���������d shoot all day and rehearse in the evenings. Ican���������t get enough of both worlds. I���������m in a carnival and having thetime of my life.I am making my comeback with a play named Raj And His Red HotLovers. It���������s about a nalla paiyyan, a young, married techie who is boredto death and wants to add some forbidden fun to his life. The USP of the play isits theme because a lot of people encounter such monotony in this big city, andend up doing sillythings.It���������s hectic ��������� acting and directing. But, it���������sonly when we try new things outside our comfort zone, that we realize how muchmore there is to learn.I just finished shoot for a movie Parithi in which I play the protagonist with shades of grey. I hope to do a lot of theatre and negative roles. In fact, one of my idols is Raghuvaran. Others who inspire me are Laurence Olivier and Sivaji Ganesan.
