Trust Crazy Star Ravichandran to reveal a bunch of secrets every time he’s up on a stage. Well, he didn’t disappoint on July 12, at the Bengaluru leg of the KD The Devil teaser launch events. Amid taking potshots at director Prem for spending more time on figuring out Ravichandran’s look and wig for the film than actually having him on set, the veteran actor dropped another fact about the film.

Ravichandran: Prem met me 10 times; gave no story narration

“I have no idea what I have done in the film. I got no story narration, even though he met me at least 10 times before I shot for the film. but Prem assured me that my character will have a bigger, more integral arc in the second part,” said Ravichandran, revealing that KD The Devil will be a two-part saga. He added that he felt it was his moral obligation to help Prem bring to life the vision that he has for the film, even though he has only a small part in this instalment.

“Prem came to my house with an entourage of about 15 people over 10 days, just to finalize my look in the film. I eventually acted in the film for only 6 days. He’d look at my wig and not be pleased and ask for a change, only to return with the same hairpiece albeit with a strand or two less,” added Ravichandran, who also pulled leading man Dhruva Sarja’s leg about taking at least 3 years to make each of his films.
