I aspire to become an established villain: Prince

Prince, who made a terrorising debut in Vishal’s Naan Sigappu Manithan, made a name for himself in Naaigal Jakkirathai as a villain. After featuring in Theri, he has been flooded with several offers — Yaman, Semma Botha Agadha, Pandigai, Thiri and Ulkuthu.  

Speaking to DC, the young actor says, “It’s because of Vishal anna that I got a chance in Kollywood. He was the one who encouraged me and gave me the chance. Now, with the success of Theri, I’m happy that I’ve a handful of roles in my kitty.” Sharing his love for playing the role as an antagonist, Prince says, “Even while I was trying to enter the industry, I made it clear that I would make a foray as a villain. It gives me the chance to do the evil things which I don’t do in real life,” he laughs. Regarding his upcoming projects, Prince expressed his happiness to getting a chance to act with the likes of Vijay Anthony, Atharvaa and Krishna. “In Yaman, I play a powerful, yet silent baddie and in Semma Bodha Agadha, my role is kind of a suspense. Pandigai will be one-of-its-kind movie for both Krishna and me as it’s about street fighting. The output so far has been really good,” he muses.

When asked if he has ever got a backlash by fans for playing the baddie, Prince says, “Fans of Vijay and Vishal openly threatened me! But, it means, I have played my character well.” He said that though he also loves doing character roles, for now he wants to concentrate on negative roles. “I first want to be an established villain. We’ll see what’s in the store for me later,” he concludes.
