Nithiin,
who
will
be
seen
as
a
messenger
in
forthcoming
release
Courier
Boy
Kalyan,
had
to
shed
his
flashy
image
for
the
film,
says
television
actor-turned-director
Premsai.
"The
protagonist
of
my
film
is
a
courier
boy,
who
is
usually
your
boy-next-door.
Nithiin
is
mostlly
known
for
playing
these
suave
loverboy
roles.
He's
a
very
flashy
hero
with
a
certain
image
among
his
fans
and
audience.
He
had
to
shed
that
image
for
the
film," Premsai
told.
Although
he
admits
it's
not
easy
to
imagine
Nithiin
as
a
courier
boy,
that
itself
became
the
unique
selling
point
of
the
film.
Premsai
also
brushed
aside
rumors
that
the
film
is
a
remake
of
English
thriller
Premium
Rush.
"I
registered
my
script
with
the
writer's
council
in
2011.
'Premium
Rush' released
towards
the
end
of
2012
and
by
then,
we
had
completed
about
60
percent
of
the
shooting.
Apart
from
the
fact
that
the
protagonists
in
both
the
films
are
a
messenger,
which
is
pure
coincidence,
nothing
else
is
similar,"
he
clarified.
"It's
probably
because
of
the
rarity
of
the
protagonist
being
a
messenger
in
both
the
films
that
these
allegations
have
been
circulated
around,"
he
added.
