Kaakha Kaakha fame Jeevan is eagerly awaiting the release of Thirruttu Payalae. Directed by Susi Ganesan, it features Sonia Agarwal opposite him. Meanwhile Jeevan has accepted to be part of a short-film being churned out by director Naveen. As it happens, it is titled Jeevan. Naveen had earlier directed a short-film titled Arumbu, which was screened at various film fests. Jeevan is a short-film about romance and Jeevan would certainly do justice to his role, says Naveen.
Jeevan is chuffed
The success of Thiruttu Payalae has brought great joy to Jeevan. Now shooting for Thotta directed by Selvah, he says, 'any actor has to choose his films with caution to survive in this highly competitive industry.' 'After Khaakha Khaakha, I was flooded with offers to play the role of a baddie. However, I decided to wait. It (three-year wait) ended with Thiruttu Payalae. I believe in being patient and it has paid off. When Susi Ganesan narrated the story to me, I was confident that it would be successful. Due credit should be given to Susi Ganesan, the cast and crew, who toiled to make a quality movie. Jeevan says, 'I am in no rush to sign films. I accept films which has good script and storyline. I would love to do challenging roles'. 'My next release would be Thotta being directed by Selvah. The movie would be completed soon'.
Jeeva hits back
Soon after the release of Aran, Mohanlal pointed fingers at producer R B Choudhary for using a dubbed voice for him in Tamil without his knowledge and also adding few more scenes featuring Jeeva. Jeeva, who acted as Mohanlal's buddy in the film directed by Major Ravi, said, "Using a dubbing voice for Mohanlal was nothing intentional. Since he was shooting for a movie abroad, we had to use a dubbing voice for Mohanlal in the Tamil version. Had we waited for Mohanlal to return, the movie's release would have been delayed by a few more months". Also on the charge that Jeeva's role was made meatier in Tamil, Jeeva said, "We added up few scenes in Tamil only with a view to appeal to the Tamil audience. Since I am more familiar to Tamil audience, a few scenes were added. Again it was nothing intentional and targeted at hurting Mohanlal's sentiments. Jeeva felt dismayed at Mohanlal's outbursts.
Jeeva gets Kamals backing
After lending his voice for the opening sequences in Jeeva starrer Aran, Kamal Haasan will now sing a song for Jeeva in his forthcoming film. Following the decent opening of Aran, Jeeva is on to his new movie Thamizh MA. The shooting for the movie will kick off soon. Meanwhile Jeeva has requested Kamal Haasan to sing a song for him in the movie and the latter has accepted his request gleefully. Says Jeeva of Kamal: 'Though he has achieved a lot in the industry, he is still very modest. He is a great role model for youngsters like us in the industry'. Jeeva is happy now for he has E directed by Jananathan ready for release followed by Pori starring Pooja opposite him. Post Aran, Jeeva is getting offers to act in Malayalam movies. However he is keen on establishing his career in Tamil before venturing to do films in other languages'.
Jeeva reaching towards the top
Jeeva has offers pouring one after another, as he is believed to be the next big thing in Tamil. The actor currently has E, Pori followed by Thamizh MA under-production. Beginning next year, he is tipped to play the lead role in a movie to be produced by Ameer and directed by V A Durai. Meanwhile, Jeeva has accepted to act in a movie to be directed by a debutant V V Kathir. The newcomer has worked as associate to director Suryaprakash, who directed Sarath Kumar starrer Mayee before. The movie has been tentatively titled Thenavattu (meaning arrogance). Search is on for the rest of the star cast. Jeeva has the knack of picking up the right script and storyline. Post Ram, his career has taken an upward swing and he has also smartly followed with successes like Dishoom and Aran. The Malayalam version of Aran has made it big in Kerala and Jeeva has a good fan following in neighboring Kerala too now. It all looks like that this smart young man is set for a big run.
Jeeva is poised
Jeeva is confident that his E would make it big this Deepavali. Produced by R B Choudhary, the movie directed by Jhananathan is set for release for Deepavali. Speaking about the film, Jeeva, says, 'It is the short form of Eswaran, my character in the film. Nayantra is the heroine. It is not an out-an-out sci-fi film but dwells on bio-war and bio-terrorism. The movie is padded with enough local flavor for the masses to identify the character. I play a local crook from the slum in the film'. Jeeva is also very confident of Jhananathan's approach. 'I was impressed with Jhananathan's Iyarkai, which was a well-narrated serious romantic film. His narration of E moved me. His matured way of handling every character in the film and faith in his script amazed me. I deem it fortunate to be part of a National award winner's film. As my role was complicated the director sat with me to detail the script and outline the character. In a friendly ambience, shooting during the heavy floods last year was an experience itself.' Post E, Jeeva is shooting for Pori. He would soon commence his next Thamizh MA. Says Jeeva, 'I am keen on doing versatile roles. I choose them with caution. Doing different roles would help me stay for long in the industry'.
