"HE DOESN'T DRINK AND INDULGE IN ITEM NUMBERS BUT HE IS MENACING"

After the success of Demonte Colony, director Ajay Gnanamuthu is preparing for his next big release, Imaikka Nodigal. This film stars Nayanthara and Atharvaa. Anurag Kashyap plays the baddie in this movie which is bankrolled by Mr.CJ Jayakumar of Cameo Films.

Speaking about the experience of working in his first Tamil film, Anurag Kashyap said, ''What pulled me towards acting in Imaikkaa Nodigal is the role. RUDRA is not your typical baddie. He doesn't just smoke, drink, order his men around and indulge in item numbers. He is menacing, scary, smart and cunning. This strange mixture that forms the role is what tempted me to take it up although I was tied up with my own projects back in Mumbai. When the audience watch the movie in theatre, if I'm able to evoke the tiniest of fears in them, as Rudra, I'll consider my work done''

The Bollywood hit director who was impressed with the young team, also added,''It's great to see youngsters take up the initiative and do interesting films like this. Films that demand a lot of experience and detailing. I'm surprised by Director Ajay's command over the medium. DOP RD Rajasekhar is a friend of mine, and I've had the joy of working with him in AR Murugadoss's Akira before this. His frames are a delight to watch. Additionally, the production has been impeccable. Every need of the artistes, technicians and the film is being taken care to the tee''.

It is going to be exciting to see Anurag Kashyap perform in a Tamil film and we can't wait to see the output soon!
