By Ramchander
Nakul
made
his
acting
debut
in
Shankar
directorial
Boys
a
decade
ago.
Since
then,
he
has
been
part
of
quite
a
few
films.
Now,
he
is
gearing
up
for
Arivazhagan
Venkatachalam
directorial
Vallinam,
which
is
made
by
one
of
the
top
producers
in
Kollywood.
"Nakul
is
the
most
energetic
actor
both
on
and
off
screen.
It
is
this
very
quality
of
him
that
prompted
me
to
cast
him
in
my
film
Vallinam.
Most
importantly,
the
character
he
essays
in
the
film
requires
him
to
be
energetic
as
well," Venkatachalam
told
IANS.
He
plays
a
basketball
player
in
the
film,
which
as
the
director
puts
it,
is
a
sports-drama
set
against
a
college
backdrop.
"It's
a
challenging
role
for
which
he
underwent
months
of
training.
The
sport
in
the
film
is
used
to
intertwine
and
narrate
different
contextual
references
such
as
friendship,
romance
and
social
awareness," he
added.
The
film
also
stars
Mrudhula
Basker,
Atul
Kulkarni,
Siddharth
Jonnalagadda,
Amzath
Khan,
Jagan
