After his supporting act in two back-toback blockbusters Ponniyin Selvan and Varisu, Sarathkumar is basking in the success of his lead turn in the Tamil hit Por Thozhil.
This has set the wheels in motion for the southern star, who returns from his sabbatical from acting.
“I’m waiting to do a bigger film,”
You play this tough cop in Por Thozhil, who is mostly cold towards people around him and hides his emotions inside. How different is your real personality from this character?
Loganathan (his character’s name), towards the end, mellows down slightly towards his partner. Maybe he is trying more to connect with people than what he was right in the beginning.
This character is not a direct link to me as a person.
The real Sarathkumar and Loganathan differ a lot.
I’m a very jovial and happy-go-lucky guy. And here, he is a tough guy, and a guy who knows his job, of course.
For others, he looks arrogant. But he’s very clear in what he wants to do.
I think that is what I learned from this character. If you’re steadfast and clear on what you want to do in life, you can achieve it.
There is already chatter about a sequel. Is it on the cards?
Definitely. (The film) has the potential of a franchise.
We (SP Loganthan and DSP Prakash, played by Ashok Selvan) can keep working like Sherlock Holmes and Watson.
There is definitely a scope to build another story because at the end of the film, one more case has come for both of us.
We have already started working on it and we might do this next July or August.
