Finally
Jeevan
has
found
the
secret
of
success.
He
came
to
the
conclusion
after
his
previous
film
Thiruttu
Payale
became
a
hit,
that
people-particularly
lady
viewers
are
more
interested
in
watching
a
rough
and
negative
character
on
screen.
'I
don't
know
the
reason.
The
present
viewer's
mentality
is
like
that.
In
real
life
too,
if
one
has
always
been
a
goody-goody
guy,
he
is
simply
commented
upon
as
a
'saambar'.
Doing
negative
things
in
an
unlawful
ways
is
considered
as
heroic
by
the
present
youngsters.
That
is
reason
behind
the
success
of
Billa
or
Thiruttu
Payale
or
any
film
in
such
genre...'
the
actor
told
us
in
an
analytical
way.
Yesterday,
Jeevan
met
the
press
for
the
first
time
in
his
career.
He
said,
'I
don't
know
how
to
handle
the
media
people
at
a
press
meet.
And
I
thought
that
there
was
no
point
in
doing
a
self
propaganda.
Now
also,
I'm
meeting
you
to
give
you
a
formal
introduction
about
myself.
I'm
not
a
person
in
the
urge
of
signing
more
and
more
contracts
in
the
industry.
After
Thiruttu
Payale
I
have
got
loads
of
offers;
but
none
of
them
have
impressed
me.
I
am
just
wait
for
the
right
one
to
come
my
way"¦'
Jeevan
spoke
in
a
cool
and
a
practical
tone.
When
asked
if
it
was
really
a
noble
idea
of
doing
a
remake
of
Naan
Avanillai,
a
K.
Balachander
make,
he
replied:
'I
don't
know
whether
it
is
noble
or
idiotic.
But
I
like
the
story
and
the
way
the
film
delivers
its
message.
I
found
no
difficulty
in
adjusting
myself
in
the
role
of
Gemini
as
I
have
already
earned
such
an
image
from
Thiruttu
Payale.
So,
naturally
I
accepted
this
project
when
Selva
narrated
the
screenplay.
I
think
negative
heroes
always
get
a
quick
approval
from
the
masses...'
he
said.
In
the
film
Naan
Avanillai,
Jeevan
appears
in
5
different
get-ups:
a
foreign-
returned
individual,
a
sanyasi,
a
painter,
a
business
executive,
and
a
playboy.
The
climax
is
the
same
as
in
the
original
version
of
the
film,
including
the
confession
of
Gemini.
The
movie
will
hit
the
screens
on
April
20
th.
Jeevan's
next
movie
after
Naan
Avanillai
will
be
Machakkaaran.
In
this
film
also,
he
will
appear
in
the
role
of
a
rough
anti-
hero.
