Sivadas
Kannur,
the
real-life
police
officer
who
left
everyone
impressed
with
his
performance
in
'Thondimuthalum
Driksakshiyum',
is
having
a
busy
time
in
Mollywood.
In
two
years,
he
has
etched
his
place
in
films
by
doing
notable
character
roles
with
the
most
recent
ones
being
his
work
in
'Underworld'
and
'Android
Kunjappan
Version
5.25'.
In
an
exclusive
chat
with
FilmiBeat,
Sivadas
Kannur
spoke
about
his
upcoming
movies,
his
journey
in
films
and
more.
"In
Android
Kunjappan,
I
play
a
character
named
Murali,
who
is
the
president
of
a
temple
committee.
It
is
quite
different
from
the
roles
that
I
have
done
so
far.
This
particular
character
has
given
me
a
lot
of
happiness
since
it
is
very
much
relatable
as
I
have
been
a
Panjavadyam
artiste
in
the
past,"
the
actor
said
about
his
role
in
the
film.
Sivadas
is
indeed
happy
with
the
feedback
his
performances
have
been
receiving.
"When
people
who
don't
know
me
personally,
ring
me
up
and
talk
to
me
about
my
performances
and
the
roles
I
have
done,
the
happiness
that
such
feedback
gives
is
beyond
words."
He
also
adds
that
being
an
actor
helps
him
relieve
some
of
the
pressures
of
his
professional
life.
The
actor
has
already
done
15-odd
films
in
the
last
two
years
but
his
favourite
continues
to
be
his
debut
flick.
"Yes,
it
is
always
Thondimuthalum
Driksakshiyum.
It
is
the
movie
that
made
me
what
I
am
today
in
films," he
said.
He
is
expanding
his
base
in
films
and
is
happy
with
the
fact
that
versatile
roles
are
coming
his
way.
"Such
roles
will
help
challenge
the
actor
in
me.
By
doing
versatile
characters,
one
gets
to
know
the
limitations
and
how
to
overcome
them.
I
play
the
role
of
an
Anglo-Indian
in
'Thuramukham',
directed
by
Rajeev
Ravi.
It
is
a
movie
that
is
set
in
two
different
periods," the
Thondimuthalum
Driksakshiyum
actor
said.
While
he
will
be
seen
playing
a
political
leader
in
'Ulta',
he
will
appear
as
a
singer
in
'Uriyadi'.
Sivadas
Kannur,
who
is
working
as
an
ASI
(Assistant
Sub-Inspector)
with
the
Special
Branch
in
Kerala
Police
Service
has
over
26
years
of
experience.
He
says
that
the
department
and
his
sub-ordinates
have
been
very
supportive
of
his
acting
commitments
and
hence,
he
has
been
able
to
balance
his
professional
life
and
his
tryst
with
cinema.
When
quizzed
whether
he
would
don
the
hat
of
a
writer,
the
star
said,
"I
am
thinking
about
it
and
have
been
advised
by
a
few
to
write
a
script
based
on
the
experiences
that
I
have
had
in
the
force.
There
are
chances
for
me
to
pen
a
story,
but
I
feel
the
right
time
has
not
come."
