#Abbas actor kadhal desam professional#

He is the first director I could say I have more than a professional relationship with him. I've never really jelled with my directors though it's been very professional relationships. How was working with Chandra Siddhartha (the director)?ДЄ treat. I guess it's natural to certain people and she is one of them. I have seen her carry off the most intense roles very smoothly. I have always looked up to her as an actor and have enjoyed working with her. Off screen too, we talk about general issues and also personal issues. We met up during Kandokondein, Kandukondein which Rajiv Menon had directed though she was not cast opposite me. How was it acting with her?ДЇrom our first film itself, we had a great rapport. In the intervening years both of you have evolved as actors from the days of Kadhal Desam.

I have always had a good rapport and personal bonding with her. I was able to get back with an old co-star. My reason one for signing Idi Sangathi was the script and with Tabu in it, it was like sone pe suhaga. Was she also one of the reasons to act in the film?ДЄbsolutely. You came together with Tabu after many years. Rang De Basanti woke up a few people's lives and shook them up from their conscience. It's sickening to be living in a self-sufficient country that has all the potential to be number one but cannot because of its corrupt system - from the top branch of the tree to its roots. Did that also prompt you to do the film?ДЄbsolutely. Idi Sangathi had a certain amount of realism - the greed and corruption which has become part and parcel of today's life. It was a kind of slapstick comedy which was not tried before. I loved the concept of coming up with all the characters in grey shades in Idi Sangathi. I want to test the hungry actor within me. I am bored of doing those foreign returned guy with sophisticated looks. I have always been striving to do something different. In Idi Sangathi you play a role quite different from the chocolate hero you have normally played. He is now back with two releases in Telugu Anasuya and Idi Sangathi.ДЄbbas talks eloquently about his Telugu films and also about the production company he wants to launch and the kind of scripts he's written. Having worked in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi, he chose to stay away from the arc lights for a while. Abbas came to the film scene with a bang with Kadhal Desam twelve years ago.
