Sarath Kumar, who was seen as a cop in 'Por Thozhil, has played the role of a cop in over 30 films. Talking about playing a similar role again, he told The Hindu, It actually gave me the feeling of investigating a real crime. I wouldn’t call the character arrogant. He’s a seasoned cop with a rigid outlook who, looking at newbies, wonders if they’ll make the cut in the force.”
"The method of uncovering the truth, in 'Por Thozhil', is unique as it gets into the psyche of the killer. The film takes a deep dive into why he’s on a killing spree and what sort of a person he is. Studying these aspects was an interesting process and it felt like accessing a new style of investigation that I haven’t had the chance to portray earlier,” he added.
He also talked about how he has managed to stay relevant over the years in the film industry.
He told The Hindu, "I think it differs from one person to another. After playing the lead for years, I think some of them might develop an inferiority complex to do other roles. I beg to differ as I want to be the hero of a subject. If I get appreciated for doing a good role in a film, I become the hero of that film. When you do a good job with the character given to you, you will be watched. It’s better to be the cycle’s axle rather than the pedal; you keep on revolving. The pedal might go up and down but the axle will remain in place."
Directed by Vignesh Raja, the movie also stars Nikhila Vimal in the lead role.
