Though Sulile Kumar has roots in Karnataka, he is a well known name in Kollywood. The actor, who started his acting debut with Tarun Gopi’s Kaalai established himself as an antagonist in various Tamil films.
Sulile has now been roped in for Hemanth M Rao’s Kavalu Daari. The film made under PRK Productions will see Rishi and Anant Nag in the lead and will feature Sulile as the villain. This is the actor’s second Kannada film after Marikondavaru. While, the actor feels, for his home, Sulile says, he picked up this role for its unique story.
“Moreover, I greatly enjoyed Hemanth’s debut, Godhi Banna Sadharana Mykattu and it is one of the best films of recent times. I am inspired by his work. So, when he came up with this offer, he knew where I fit in and I am sure, he will mould me according to the character,” he says.
Sulile’s who has done more than 18 films in Tamil says, sadly, he is not getting the same kind of opportunities in Kannada. “I have not set any rules with my roles. I have played leads, second leads, and as an anti-hero in Tamil industry. Infact, I played the hero in my first Kananda film, Marikondavaru, which was a biopic. Hopefully, my association with Hemanth’s Kavalu Daari, will fetch me more exciting projects in Sandalwood,” he adds.
The film will go on the floors from the first week of October and will also feature Roshini Prakash along with Achyuth Kumar in pivotal roles. Kavalu Daari has music by Charan Raj, Advaitha Gurumurthy’s cinematography.
