Not one to watch interviews with actors, I ended up glued to my seat for nearly an hour, when during my usual channel-surfing, I saw the image of actor Karan being interviewed on Sun tv early this morning.
I started admiring his acting skills when I first watched Karupusamy Kuthagaitharar in bits and pieces. The storyline did not impress me as much as Karan's natural acting skills did. The heroine did not at all shine. In fact, the only role I saw her playing was that of a young woman whose longing brought the best out of Karan, the actor.
Must admit he is looking much better these days, sporting a trim figure, not to mention a cool looking goatee. Physical mundanity aside, Karan does seem to have a good head on his shoulders. Obviously passionate about being an actor for the right reasons, Karan spoke very confidently during the interview - with the authority of an actor who has lately displayed remarkable acting skills, and yet with the humility of one who knows where he stands in the film industry. His views and convictions spoke well for the maturity he obviously has loads of.
It's a nice feeling watching an actor mature and shift from being annoying to likeable. When I first watched him in Nammavar, I could not help harbouring a deep dislike for him (probably goes to prove that he had done a great job even then). Later as he donned common roles, I completely stopped noticing his presence/roles in the movies he acted. But it's refreshing to note that Karan has grown with experience to stand tall today as an actor whose movies leave an indelible mark on viewers.
