Ganesh Venkataram: I don't have interest in action films

Ganesh Venkataram who had earlier acted in Abhiyum Naanum and Unnai Pol Oruvan is now acting in the film Kandahar. He is donning the role of Amitabh’s son.

While speaking to the media, he said,” The film is based on the hijack incident at Kandahar. Now I am shooting for the film in Mumbai airport. The film will hit the screens during the month of September.

I am donning the role of an angry youth who is against corruption etc. When I meet the army officer Mohanlal in Ooty my life completely changes. I join the army through him. Then I become the captain of the National Security Force. Each scene will be filled with action.

Since director Major Ravi had worked in the army, he got special permission to shoot in army locations. It was an unforgettable experience working with stalwarts like Amitabh and Mohanlal. With regard to Muriyadi, the film is being directed by Selvan. I am donning the role of an advocate in this film. The story revolves around Sathyaraj, Ramya and me.

The screenplay is very sensational. The shooting of the film is completed. The film is to be released soon. My character will be spoken very much after the release of this film. Since I had acted in police officer role in Unnai Pol Oruvan and commando role in Kandahar, many are asking me that whether I am interested in action hero roles. It not like that.

I am interested in doing all kind of character roles. This is necessary for an actor. One should not get an image that he is fit only for a particular role I want to do the roles which have not been done so far. I am waiting for such kind of stories. There is also a question that since I live in Mumbai why I should not try Hindi films.

My mother tongue is Tamil. I want to win in my mother tongue language. Both the films that I had acted have earned me good name. After getting a good name in Tamil I will try my hand in other languages.”
