'I DON'T WANT TO 

BE A HERO'

Says Gopal, who is all set to woo the audience in Maathi Yosi...

         The minute one asks Gopal how he is doing, he immediately shoots back, Neenga sollungalen(you, tell me)! The actor, who formed one part of the hilarious duo in Kalloori, is back to facing the camera in Maathi Yosi (MY).

            "It's been quite a while since I faced the are lights. I was in college when I did Kalloori. But my priority then was education. Moreover. I was waiting for something really interesting to come my way. when I got an offer to work in MY, I knew it was the perfect vehicle to make a come back, " he says.

           Gopal contnues, "As the title suggests, MY is a very different film. It's an interesting tale of four vagabonds from a rustic village in Madurai. Onaan, Maanga, Maari and Paandi decidee to visit the city and the film is about their experience in the city. since we were all yougsters, we had a blast shooting for the film."

        The lanky actor surprises us when he says that he is least intersted in playinjg a hero. "I don't know why, but the role of a hero never interested me. I want to do meaningful roles like the one in Kalloori. Even though my screen time was short, the audience loved my character. The film made me a known face. sikilarly, I'm sure MY will take me places, " he says.

       So, what nest after MY ? "I'm eagerly awaiting the release of Yaen Ippade Mayakkenai. It's likely to hit the screens in April. It's a romantic flick and will be a visual treat to the audience, " he gushes. Looks like this actor is here to stay!
