'I am currently busy acting in Nepali (directed by V Z Durai). My Khilladi is nearing completion. AlsoI have been committed to at in director-producer Sakthi Chidambaram's next venture Palani. It would be directed by Perarasu and would have musical score by Srikanth Deva. Quite appropriate to the title, the movie unfolds in Palani and would be a commercial entertainer'.
