The movie opens in a remote village near Theni with Dharma Durai (Vijay Sethupathi) a chronic alcoholic who is an embarrassment for his brothers (Arul Dass, Soundarraja etc.) They run a chit business and the only soul who cares for him in his family, is his mother Pandiyamma (Radhikaa Sarath Kumar).

True to the sobriquet Makkal Selvan (People’s hero), which was given to him recently, Sethupathi in the titular role, hogs the limelight with his subtle yet riveting performance. Even being able to share viewpoints on how we both approach a scene, are both a learning process and a fulfilling experience for me as an actor.When Vijay Sethupathi teamed up with his mentor Seenu Ramasamy for yet another realistic emotional tale ‘Dharma Durai,’ the expectations were huge. Apart from discussing the films we've watched, it's great to discuss my own films with him. So between shots, we have deep, meaningful conversations on cinema. At the same time, he's relaxed, chilled out and a lot of fun too. He is completely alert, on the job at all times on sets. He not only shoots long hours, but also finds time to work out. The way he juggles so many things at the same time is amazing. Now when I am working with him, I can't help but admire him up close at work. I've been a huge admirer of his efforts for his metamorphosis into those characters in director Shankar's film I. But Vikram just re-defines the term hard work. So I want to make film choices that enhance my learning curve from now on."Īnd that is perhaps why, working with Chiyaan Vikram is turning out to be so fulfilling for her at this stage of her career. But of course, changes can't be made in retrospect. I want to unlearn my past errors and want to change many of the things I have done. I now want to choose roles which offer new perspectives and take me into unpredictable spaces. I've just finished shoot for producer Vashu Bhagnani's Hindi thriller starring Prabhu Deva, where I play a deaf and mute girl. She elaborates, "After acting in Dharmadurai (Tamil), I've wanted to play roles which are meaningful and real. Listen to the latest songs, only on Exploring a different side of herself, is giving Tamannaah a new high. So far, I've been enjoying every bit of the portions we've shot." I am seen in a sari, with a plait and not much make up. In addition, my role is that of a very realistic character, someone who people would relate to. His films are commercial but also have a sense of realism and believability in them. When director Vijay Chander brought this script of Sketch to me, I was very happy to know that Vikram was a part of it. We ask Tamannaah about the buzz around her fresh pairing with Vikram and she reveals, "Vikram and I have met before and for were supposed to work together for several projects in the past. The lyric video of one song, titled Kanave Kanvae, has just been released, taking social media by storm, on Chiyaan Vikram's birthday on April 17. The first schedule of Sketch has just been completed recently. Tamannaah Bhatia has also famously starred in SS Rajamouli's magnum opus, the two part epic drama Baahubali, the second part of which will hit screens on April 28. In a conversation, the actor tells us why it's so fulfilling to work with a hero she's always admired. Not only is she is cast opposite one of Tamil Cinema's most versatile heroes, Chiyaan Vikram, but she's also got a meaty role that will showcase a different side of her.


The film has turned to be a double whammy for her. "He's relaxed, chilled out and a lot of fun," she addedĬhennai: Actress Tamannaah Bhatia seems to be enjoying her successful stint, shooting for her next Tamil film, titled Sketch.Tamannaah will co-star with Vikram for the first time."I've wanted to play roles which are meaningful," she said.
