Southern
actor
Ajmal
Ameer
says
the
four
different
looks
he
sports
in
upcoming
Tamil
romantic-drama
Karuppampatti
will
be
his
portfolio
as
an
actor.
"I
consider
the
roles
I
essay
in
the
film
as
my
portfolio
as
an
actor.
I've
never
done
such
diverse
roles
in
my
career,
and
doing
it
all
in
one
film
was
physically
exhausting," Ajmal
told
IANS.
"I
sport
two
looks
of
the
1980s
and
one
look
as
an
old
man.
The
fourth
look
is
that
of
a
youngster
of
the
present
day.
There
were
instances
when
I
was
supposed
to
shoot
with
all
four
looks
in
a
day,
and
it
was
extremely
challenging
because
each
look
had
different
expressions
and
mannerism,"
he
added.
The
film,
directed
by
Prabhu
Raja
Cholan,
is
the
story
of
a
man
who
comes
from
France
to
a
village
in
Tamil
Nadu
in
search
of
his
family
roots.
Produced
by
Sundar
K,
Karuppampatti
is
coming
out
this
Friday.
It
is
shot
in
three
different
time
zones
-
before
1980s,
Eastman
color
era,
and
in
the
present
day.
Ajmal
says
he
learnt
French
for
one
of
the
roles.
"Some
part
of
the
film
is
set
in
France,
and
for
that
I
had
to
learn
French.
A
good
15
minutes
of
the
film
is
completely
shot
in
French,"
he
said.
Aparnaa
Bajpai
and
Alice
Tantardini
play
the
female
lead
in
the
film
opposite
Ajmal.
It
also
stars
Archana,
MS
Bhaskar,
Jagan,
Srinath,
Devadarshini
and
Chetan.
It
has
music
by
Kannan.
