I have not acted in this kind of a film before: Ravichandran on Kannadiga

Crazy Star Ravichandran is all set to star in BM Giriaj's

Kannadiga

and the actor says that this

film

will be different from what he has done till now. The

launch

of the film was held recently and Ravichandran, speaking to media persons said, "This genre is new to me and I have not acted in this kind of a film before. This is very fresh for me. I liked the story Giriraj narrated." The actor said that he was handed a bounded

script

by Giriraj for the same.

The film, will be a period drama and revolves around the time Reverend Ferdinand Kittel, who is known for producing the first Kannada-English dictionary. In an earlier conversation with us, Giriraj spoke about getting Ravichandran on board. "He’s reached a phase in his career where he is ready to take the risk, irrespective of how the box office responds. I feel this is the aspect that drew him to my film. He is blessed with a great aesthetic sense, and I think I’m fortunate to have met him in the right phase in his career. I attribute this to destiny. Five years ago, he would have probably not taken up a film like this,' says the filmmaker.

Kannadiga will go on floors soon. The film also features Jamie Alter, the late Tom Alter’s son, playing Kittel, and Balaji Manohar. Meanwhile, Ravichandran is waiting to release his film Ravi Bopanna soon.
