Sathyaraj
A couple of days back it was reported that senior actor Sathyaraj, popularly now for essaying Kattappa in `Baahubali`, has been roped to play PM Modi in a biographical drama. Now the actor has denied the rumours and made his stance clear on what will make him do such a film. The actor was speaking to the press in Chennai at the pre-release event of `Mazhai Pidikatha Manithan` on Wednesday. The actor sarcastically said that if the film had been directed by his friend and late director Manivannan, he would have worked on it. The late director was a follower of the anti-caste icon Periyar.
The reports of Sathyaraj playing PM Modi in his biopic had made national headlines and left fans of the actor amused. Sathyaraj is a vocal critic of the right-wing government and is a staunch supporter of Periyar. He often dons a black shirt, a symbol of protest synonymous with Periyarists.
