Tamil
actor
Prasanna
Venkatesan
feels
that
an
actor
should
accept
commercial
roles
only
after
having
enough
experience
and
confidence
that
audiences
is
ready
to
accept
him
in
such
a
avatar.
"It's
a
misconception
that
anybody
can
do
a
commercial
film
after
two
or
three
hits.
You
can
tread
that
path
only
if
you
have
years
of
experience
and
large
fan
following.
People
should
be
ready
to
accept
you
in
such
roles
before
you
even
attempt
them," Prasanna
told
IANS.
Prasanna
is
known
for
playing
offbeat
roles
in
Tamil
films
such
as
Anjathe,
Achchamundu
Achchamundu,
Baana
Kathadi
and
Muran.
In
his
decade-long
career,
Prasanna
hasn't
attempted
doing
commercial
roles.
He
has
played
negative
characters
in
few
films,
but
not
a
single
commercial
venture
so
far.
"I
believe
in
step-by-step
process.
I
can
only
get
there
with
time
and
with
lot
of
good
films
in
my
career.
Take
any
superstar
of
today
and
you
will
realise
that
these
actors
didn't
become
mass
heroes
overnight...
I
still
have
a
lot
of
time,"
he
added.
He
was
even
nominated
for
Filmfare
award
for
his
negative
role
in
Anjathe.
"I
don't
see
what's
wrong
in
playing
negative
roles
because
it's
just
another
character
at
the
end
of
the
day.
Take
Prakash
Raj
sir
for
instance,
he
has
played
all
kind
of
roles
and
people
love
him.
He
chased
Trisha
like
a
maniac
in
Ghilli
and
also
a
played
a
doting
father
to
her
in
Abhiyum
Naanum
few
years
later,"
he
said.
"What
matters
is
whether
you're
playing
a
role
to
perfection
or
not.
It
doesn't
matter
what
role
you're
playing
as
an
actor,"
Prasanna
added.
Prasanna
is
currently
awaiting
the
release
of
Tamil
films
Kalyana
Samayal
Saadham
and
Netru
Indru
and
Telugu
film
Bhai.
