Vinod Prabhakar debuts into Kollywood

Wednesday, 17 September 2008

The muscular hero of Kannada cinema 6 feet and 2 inches tall Vinod Prabhakar – son of late actor Kannada Prabhakar, one of the most powerful villains in many movies like Muthu, Annamalai, Bhadrakali, Thai Meedu Sathyam and several other films, has come all the way from the Kannada industry to try his luck in Kollywood. He is all set to debut in Tamil with the movie Paalai, to be directed by debutant AC Shivananda who assisted Sahodaran director R Bharathan for seven years. "Paalai, produced by M Selvaraj under the banner of SRS Cine Arts, is my first film in Tamil but I have done ten movies in Kannada prior to this. M Selvaraj is a good friend and when he was making this film he thought I fit the role and so here I am," Vinod said during an interview given to a website affiliated to a newspaper. “I am well known in Kannada film industry but no one knows me here. It’s up to me now to make a mark, but it’s not going to be easy. However, I am very confident about my stunt sequences and being an action hero fits me well.” He said that Paalai is a complete, action subject about how circumstances create the rowdy hero. The film will be shot in Ooty, Munnar, Chennai and Mangalore. He also revealed that he is open to doing any type of roles in Tamil, whether hero or villain, as long as the character is good. Paalai movie launch was held recently on September 11 at AVM Studios, Chennai. Music is composed by Peter John, lyrics are penned by Kadhal Mathi, editing by MN Raja and Cinematography is by CitiBabu.
