Raj Arjun is currently earning immense love and praise from the audience with his work as RM Veerappan in the film. The actor has also worked in Secret Superstar earlier, where he essayed the role of Farookh.
Talking about how he bagged the role, he said, “I got ‘Thalaivii’ because of ‘Secret Superstar’ and director Vijay” He also revealed, “Vijay noticed my work in ‘Secret Superstar’ and believed in my craft and that’s how I got the role.”
He continued, “Everyone like producers and all wanted to cast senior and seasoned actors from the industry and it was coming to me and then going to someone else and this happened several times. Finally, Vijay showed trust in me that I would be able to do justice to the role and since I have also worked with casting director Mukesh Chabbra before so they both convinced the producer and that’s how I got on board.”
He also added on his equation with the director Vijay, saying, “When Sara (daughter) did her first ad of her life, it was directed by Vijay. Then he kept on directing Sara for different projects and our relationship started growing. So this is how I know Vijay. I have done quite a few films with Vijay but they were small roles so later I didn’t work with him but our bond still remained the same. After ‘Secret Superstar’ happened he saw my craft and that’s how I played ‘R.M Veerappan’.” As quoted by Pink Villa.
