"I play a matured tough character in 'Aval Peyer Thamizharasi'. I'll be playing a 28 year old man in the film", says Jai.
Jai, happy with back-to-back successes in 'Chennai 600028' and 'Subramaniapuram', says, " I am happy that my acting talent has been finally recognized by the masses".
An avid music-lover, Jai had wanted to become a music composer and had formal training under his uncle Deva and brother Srikanth Deva.
"I learnt music right from my childhood. But a cameo in 'Bhagawathy' changed my fortunes. I even came close to acting in Shankar's Boys'.
Jai is optimistic that a favorable change has come among movie audiences. Innovative and good stories are welcomed by the masses. 'Aval Peyer Thamizharasi' will find favor with the masses'. The film produced by Moser Baer in association with Blue Ocean Entertainment is about a man's search for his childhood sweetheart.
A great admirer of Vijay, he says that he had seen Vijay's films like 'Gilli' and 'Priyamanavale' several times. 'I don't copy his mannerisms. But people say that I resemble him a lot. I take it as a credit'.
Jai sounds optimistic by saying that many more talented filmmakers would emerge in Tamil Cinema and the industry would soon reach an all time high.
