Aari Arjunan on Dr S Ramadoss biopic: This film will not be about glorifying any one group
Aari reveals that the team is currently doing look tests in Mumbai, 'experimenting with makeup and styling to get the best possible outcome'. Aari Arujunan will portray Dr S Ramadoss in an upcoming biopic of the veteran politician, which will be directed by Cheran . Titled Ayya – The Lion Of Tamil Nadu , the film will go on floors this September. Speaking to us about the film, Aari shares, 'Cheran sir was the first person I approached for an opportunity when I started my career, and through him, I got my break in Aadum Koothu (2006). While we were wrapping up our TV series Journey , Cheran sir mentioned that he had a project I'd need to commit to wholeheartedly. He asked me to block eight months for it. Only after all the processes were completed did I come to know that I would be playing the role of Dr Ramadoss in his biopic. The film will portray the journey of Dr Ramadoss ayya . When he launched his party, he worked tirelessly for the upliftment of society. Many significant events followed, but back then, there wasn't enough documentation. As a result, much of that history and the evolution of politics aimed at social welfare is unknown to the public today. This film will bring that untold journey to light.' Quiz him about critics being concerned about the film being a vehicle of caste glorification, and the actor says, 'Every individual has different perspectives, opinions, and ideologies. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Pieces of Clothing Older Women should Avoid Learn More Undo Each political party and its members have their own mindset, and one person may not agree with another's beliefs. These differences are natural and unavoidable in politics. In fact, it's these varied ideologies and perspectives that form the foundation of politics itself. We can't deny public opinion; everyone is entitled to their view. This film, however, will not be about glorifying any one group — it presents the true events from the life journey of Dr Ramadoss ayya .' Aari reveals that the team is currently doing look tests in Mumbai, 'experimenting with makeup and styling to get the best possible outcome'. 'We're also working on a trial shoot to finetune everything. Cheran sir sees this as one of the most important projects of his career; he's been working on it for nearly four years. One of the biggest challenges for me is that there's no visual reference, in terms of video, of Dr Ramadoss from his younger days, so we have to build everything from scratch with a lot of research and creative effort.
