Actor Viddharth on playing “Pasupathi -The Baddie’ in Hip Hop Adhi starrer “Anbarivu”
Actor Viddharth, who is well-known for his soft and casual protagonist roles in Tamil cinema, is leaping into a different domain as a baddie in Hip Hop Adhi starrer “Anbarivu”. Written and directed by Aswin Raam, the film is all set for the worldwide premiere on Disney Plus Hotstar from January 7, 2022, onwards.
Actor Viddharth says, “Initially, I was little surprised on how Aswin Raam could imagine me in a negative role. In most of the commercial and offbeat films that I worked on so far, my characterizations have mostly been softer ones. However, as Aswin kept narrating the script, I just believed that this role would help me explore my potentials in a different dimension. It was a blind hope and trust on director Aswin, and I just carried out what he demanded out of my characterization. But to see the great response for my screen presence and mannerisms in the visual promos, I feel elated. A director becomes successful when they can visualize an actor in the respective role; they have created and gets it materialized. In this aspect, I am so happy that Tamil cinema has got a talented filmmaker, who is going to deliver beautiful movies. Working in Anbarivu was quite an unusual experience as it had a star-cast of youngsters and experienced stars like Napoleon sir, Asha Sharath mam. Hiphop Adhi is such a great person to work with. Despite scaling greater heights, he is so down-to-earth. I play the role of Pasupathy, who always believes in cunning methods to win the situation. He exhibits his pureness and honesty to the public, but within, he is the root cause of creating drift and clash among the villagers. I can confidently state that Anbarivu will be a very good family entertainer that the audience can sit back, relax and watch in their home.”
Aswin Raam has written and directed Anbarivu that features Hip Hop Adhi in the dual roles with Kashmira Pardeshi and Shivani Rajashekar playing the female lead characters. Napoleon, Viddharth, Asha Sharath, Sai Kumar, and a few more prominent actors are a part of this film. This family entertainer is presented by Sathya Jyothi Films TG Thyagarajan and is produced by Sendhil Thyagarajan and Arjun Thyagaraja and is co-produced by G Saravanan and Sai Siddharth.
