Harish Kalyan turns angry young man

Young actor Harish Kalyan is the toast of K’town these days when it comes to romantic stories.  He came into the limelight after his stint in ‘Bigg Boss’ and his subsequent release Pyaar Prema Kadhal turned out to be a huge hit. Now, the actor has been roped in for a romantic entertainer titled Ispade Rajavum Idhaya Raniyum directed by Ranjith Jayakodi of Puriyatha Pudhir fame.

Shilpa Manjunath of Kaali fame, whose looks in her upcoming flick Perazhagi I.S.O created a big buzz, will be seen opposite Harish. The first look poster of IRIR where the duo is seen smooching has gone viral.

Speaking to DC, an excited Harish says, “I had signed IRIR even before PPK, but the latter released earlier. Ispade…..has an interesting premise and is totally a different character of what I played in Pyaar Prema Kadhal. Ispade Raja is a colloquial term used to refer a ‘spade’ in a deck of cards, whereas Rani refers to ‘queen’.” I essay a biker and he is an angry young man and he has a reason for it. He has a troubled past which makes him haughty, whereas Shilpa’s character is cool and composed.”

On his preparations, he says, “Yeah, I have pumped up a bit for my rugged look. Basically, my headstrong ways will be portrayed through my performance.

Vijay Sethupathi, who worked in Jayakodi’s earlier film, unveiled the first look on his social media platform. So, what did Sethu say? “Vijay Sethupathi knew this subject as he is a close friend of my director. He told me that ‘it is a very good script and if I do it getting into the skin of the character, it will work out wonderfully’.”
