I am going to call him Makkal Selvan because he just has the personality, it suits him. It is such a beautiful term. It’s a privilege to work with him. We don’t have too many scenes together, our tracks run parallel and sometimes we cross track. I find his mind so interesting. He’s truly an actor at heart. I wish to do much more work with him, and I wish to learn from him. He’s such a phenomenal artist, it’s a privilege to have him on the show.”
