Uday Kiran keen to resurrect Tamil film career

Hyderabad: In his little over a decade-long career, Telugu actor Uday Kiran has managed to do three Tamil films, which bombed at the Box-Office. With his fourth untitled Tamil film scheduled to go on floors Friday, he hopes to find a strong foothold in Tamil. His latest Tamil flick is an action entertainer and he has worked hard to get out of his lover boy image.

Talking to IANS, Uday Kiran said, "I am proud to say that I was launched in Tamil by Balachander sir, who introduced legends like Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan and Prakash Raj. It was rather unfortunate that things didn't fall in place until now for me. I have immense confidence in this script and this film is likely to boost my morale."

Uday Kiran's new Tamil film will be produced by Munna, while music and cinematography will be handled by Vinoth Kumar and Sathish Muthyala, respectively. The actor added, "I have worked very hard to shed away my chocolate boy image in order to get a tough look for this action entertainer. Hunt for the heroine is in full swing."

However, Uday Kiran debuted in Tamil films with Poi, followed by Vamba Sandai and Pen Singam. However, his career in Telugu is a mixed bag with a few hits such as Nuvvu Nenu, Chitram and Manasantha Nuvve. The title of his new Tamil project will be announced very soon along with the rest of the cast and crew of the film.
