It
is
a
common
practice
in
Kollywood
where
actors
and
actresses
adapt
to
their
screen
names
for
various
reasons.
But
in
the
case
of
Appukutty,
it
is
all
about
going
back
to
his
birth
name
Sivabalan,
thanks
to
Thala
Ajith.
It
is
well
known
that
Ajith
recently
organized
a
photo
shoot,
capturing
the
National
Award
winner
in
various
avatars
after
giving
him
a
makeover.
The
noble
act,
it
seems
was
aimed
at
presenting
him
with
a
new
lease
of
life.
Sivabalan
has
revealed
that
during
the
making
of
Veeram,
he
had
disclosed
to
Ajith
that
his
looks
might
be
the
reason
why
he
is
not
able
to
earn
himself
different
type
of
roles.
After
learning
about
his
worries,
Ajith
who
has
a
habit
of
helping
others,
had
suggested
him
to
go
for
a
makeover
and
a
new
portfolio
which
might
help
his
cause.
Little
did
Sivabalan
know
that
Ajith
himself
will
take
the
initiative.
As
a
part
of
their
plans,
the
Mankatha
actor
has
also
insisted
him
to
go
back
to
his
original
name,
which
will
help
him
shed
his
current
screen
image;
an
actor
stereotyped
for
village
based
roles.
Now,
with
a
fresh
zing
and
confidence,
Sivabalan
is
determined
to
let
the
world
know
that
he
is
ready
to
take
up
more
challenging
roles
with
his
new
identity
and
looks.
