Sathyaraj hopes to work with Rajinikanth & Kamal Haasan; wants to play 'dominating' villain again

Bahubali fame Sathyaraj is one of the most sought-after actors in south. He has worked in more than 250 movies and has been entertaining the audience with varied roles. Ahead of the release of his film Veetla Vishesham, the actor indulged in a tête-à-tête where he spoke about wanting to play a villain again.

For the unversed, his role as Gopinath in Mr Bharath set a new benchmark for the villains in the industry. And his performance made him stood out against superstar Rajinikanth in the movie and he managed to grab the attention equally.

When asked if he would love to work opposite his contemporaries Rajinikanth & Kamal Haasan, the actor replied with a grin on his face, “I have done so many films with Rajini and Kamal…When I was playing the villain, I did many films with Rajinikanth. For them only heroines changed then, the villain was always the same (laughs). In 1985, I did 27 films with him as a villain. So definitely, if I like the character, I would love to work with them. I’m very comfortable with them because then, I sport as a villain in one way. After all, they allowed me to score as actor. They always said ‘let him do sir…what Satharaj wants to, let him do it.’ That’s how they encouraged me.”

He furthermore revealed that he is all set to play a supervillain again if he gets an exciting offer. “I’m very much interested in playing a villain character but a dominating one, that’s the main thing. If an offer comes, I would love to take it," he said.

Coming to his upcoming flick, Veetla Vishesham is produced by Boney Kapoor and is slated to release on June 17th. The film also features RJ Balaji and Urvashi in prominent roles.
