By Ians English
The
secret
of
a
lasting
career
is
doing
a
variety
of
roles
believes
southern
actor
Naveen
Chandra,
who
made
his
cinematic
debut
as
an
obsessive
lover
in
Telugu
romantic-drama
Andala
Rakshasi.
Naveen
will
now
be
seen
as
a
Maoist-turned-common
man
in
Tamil-Telugu
bilingual
Dalam
and
as
a
construction
labourer
in
Tamil
drama
Sivappu.
"I
have
just
started
my
career
and
it's
important
for
me
to
do
a
variety
of
roles
to
ensure
that
audiences
don't
get
bored
of
me.
Luckily,
all
roles
I
have
picked
up
so
far
have
been
extremely
different
from
one
other
and
this
I
believe
will
boost
my
career," Naveen
told
IANS.
Explaining
his
role
in
Dalam,
Naveen
said,
"It's
the
story
of
an
ex-naxalite
who
struggles
to
live
a
normal
life.
It's
an
emotional
role
and
we
spent
nearly
a
month
shooting
in
the
forest
and
some
villages."
He
says
the
technicians
of
Dalam
deserve
all
the
credit.
"To
shoot
in
extreme
conditions,
especially
in
the
forest,
is
not
easy.
Technicians
of
Dalam
worked
really
hard
and
I
think
they
deserve
more
credit
than
me.
We
couldn't
have
pulled
off
without
them,"
said
Naveen.
For
his
role
in
Sivappu,
Naveen
lived
incognito
as
a
labourer
for
two
weeks.
"It's
a
realistic
role
and
I
wanted
to
do
100
percent
justice
to
it.
I
worked
as
a
labourer
in
my
friend's
construction
unit
for
nearly
two
weeks.
I
asked
him
not
to
tell
others
that
I'm
a
hero.
I
learnt
so
much
in
the
process
that
I
would
have
never
learnt
had
I
not
worked
as
a
labourer,"
Naveen
added.
