Tamil director to act with NTR, Ram Charan

If Sathyaraj played the most important male supporting actor in ‘Baahubali’, looks like it’s the turn of another Kollywood personality to do that. He is Samuthirakani, the acclaimed Tamil director who has made a name for himself with his splendid performances in noted films such as ‘Kaala’.

Rajamouli has drafted him to play a very important role in his next movie. He will act alongside both NTR and Ram Charan. It was an instant ‘yes’ from him even before Rajmouli could start narrating the script. He knows for sure that doing a Rajamouli film can make you a household name. Why would he not throw his hat when the iconic director himself comes knocking on his door?

Aged 45, the actor can get intense with ease. He is gifted when it comes to playing strongly-etched roles. Years ago, Samuthirakani directed ‘Shambo Shiva Shambo’ in Telugu, starring Ravi Teja and Allari Naresh.
