Audition

My kaala audition experience was both nerve-wracking and exciting. I had always been passionate about performing and had taken part in school plays, but this was my first time auditioning for a professional production

Preparation

Before stepping into the shoes of a character I started to understand the character's motivations and the character's relationship with the lead role kaala ( Rajinikanth ) and started working towards it such as Building the Physicality, Rehearsals, voice and speech training for dubbings

Character

My Character "Athiyan" is the eldest grandson of karikaalan (Rajinikanth). Athiyan's relationship with his family and his siblings plays a significant role in shaping their character for the film.

Learning

As an actor, I discovered the power of emotional vulnerability by observing experienced artists such as rajini sir and Samuthirakani sir for example has allowed me to connect with my character and their struggles
