Actor Sathyaraj will portray a strict election commissioner in Vambu Sandai, a role he says is inspired by former official T.N. Seshan.
After the role of rationalist leader Periyar in Gnanarajasekaran's movie of the same name, Sathyaraj now plays an upright election commissioner, a role apparently inspired by former Chief Election Commissioner T N Seshan.
The actor was also yearning to play the character since T N Seshan's days. Now, director Raj Kapoor has cast the actor in such a role in a movie titled Vambu Sandai.
Talking about his role, a thrilled Sathyaraj says, "I play a strict election commissioner called Jeevan. I bring all the bad, wicked politicians to book, but I have not imitated anyone".
