right
here
in

I
gave
my
first
shot
as
Vedha
here...it
feels
like
life
has
come
full
circle
to
me.
Vedha
helped
me
unleash
madness
inside
me
which
I
did
not
know
existed.
Thank
you
universe
and
thank
you
Vedha
for
helping
me
discover
that
madness
and
helping
me
discover
the
strength
to
hold
that
madness.
I
really
love
and
admire
characters
which
are
born
out
of
a
deep
collaboration
between
an
actor
and
a
director.
And
I
know
for

I
wouldn't
be
standing
here
this
evening

it
wasn't
for
my
directors."
