Popular
producer
GK
Reddy,
father
of
actor
Vishal,
will
be
making
his
Tamil
acting
debut
in
a
Nivin
Pauly-starrer
yet-untitled
project,
which
is
being
directed
by
debutant
Gautham
Ramachandran.
"I'm
pro
new
talent.
I
don't
like
to
repeat
same
actors
in
similar
roles.
I
saw
him
(GK
Reddy)
in
a
publicity
still
and
immediately
felt
he
fits
the
bill
for
the
character.
But
I
wasn't
sure
if
he'd
be
able
to
pull
off
the
role," Gautham
told
IANS.
However,
Gautham's
pre-conceived
notion
about
the
veteran
changed
the
minute
he
met
him.
"When
I
met
and
rehearsed
with
him,
I
realised
there's
some
oddity
in
his
performance
which
makes
him
unique.
I
found
a
spark
in
him.
We
did
about
50-60
rehearsals
with
him.
We
started
off
with
few
shots,
took
a
break,
and
then
rehearsed
after
he
grew
his
beard,"
he
said.
Asked
if
he
plays
a
negative
character,
Gautham
said
his
shades
won't
come
out
on
screen.
"It's
tough
to
explain.
You
can't
judge
a
bar
from
the
outside,
can
you?
You
need
to
get
inside
to
know
what's
happening,"
he
said.
Also
starring
Kannada
actress
Shraddha
Srinath
of
U
Turn
fame,
the
film
is
currently
being
shot
in
Manapad,
South
of
Tamil
Nadu.
Meanwhile,
Vishal,
who
is
currently
shooting
for
Suraj's
Kaththi
Sandai
and
Mysskin's
Thupparivaalan,
is
also
awaiting
the
release
of
his
long
delayed
film
Madha
Gaja
Raja,
which
has
been
directed
by
Sundar
C.
He
also
has
a
couple
of
upcoming
projects
under
his
belt,
including
the
official
remake
of
Telugu
hit
Temper
and
an
yet
to
be
titled
multi-starrer,
which
will
be
directed
by
film-maker
Bala.
