Playing a cop is not new to Ganesh Venkatraman — but he’s been offered only supporting roles in all his police avatars so far! But this time around, he has signed a film — Inayathalam (Website) as the lead protagonist and essays an investigating officer. The movie is directed by the duo Shankar-Suresh.
Talking to DC, Ganesh says, “The title itself to some extent reveals the genre. Inayathalam is a cyber crime thriller and it talks about how the police department battles to locate online criminals. I portray a special investigating officer and come to thrash a major network to expose the criminals.”
Although Suresh is an IT specialist in real life and has done extensive research on the subject, the Unnaipol Oruvan actor says that he also did his bit of homework. “I have a few friends in cyber crime department and I spent time with them to know more about how they handle and deal such cases,” he quips. Technically speaking, the climax will remind the audience of the famous Hollywood film Speed, he adds.
While Shwetha Menon (who also will be seen as a cop) is paired with him, ‘Erode’ Mahesh, veteran actress Sukanya and ‘Delhi’ Ganesh are also part of the movie in crucial characters. Ganesh is also looking forward to Dhanush starrer Thodari, in which he plays a significant portrayal.
