As we all know, you're a music director, singer, actor. What are you most passionate about?

Music is what I want to do. That is what I desire. My family is also in the same line. My interest towards music is more than acting. Acting is easy work for me. I need not have abs or go to the gym. I do it effortlessly and it will come naturally. Acting is fun, but music is my passion.

You have performed in Yuvan concerts? In the future, if there's a world tour, would you join them?

We are on the way. In 2023, we're doing a World tour. Dates have been set. Around March, we are set to perform in London, Paris, US and Canada. Last year we performed in Malaysia and Chennai. We’re planning to have the concerts at Coimbatore, Trichy and Tirunelveli.

You also have a great sense of humor. Have you thought of doing stand-up comedy?

I’m not good at that. I don’t speak much. If I speak, I may do so about philosophies of life but not comedy, something sarcastic or funny. I cannot think of that. People do laugh when I speak and with the way I speak but I’m not sure if I know how to make any comedy at all, not by myself.

From your upcoming projects, which project are you eagerly waiting to be released?

There are quite a few things in the pipeline. I’m actually waiting for Sathya Sodhanai. The shooting got over before lockdown. It was directed by a very creative director, Suresh Sangaiyah. My character that I have played is very new for me like a village boy and I’m really looking forward to it.

You've worked with your brother on so many projects, can you tell which project you've ignored that your brother insisted on doing?
