Sathyaraj Play Professor role in Shankar Film

Veteran actor Sathyaraj is going to play the role of the professor in the Tamil version of ‘3 Idiots’. In Hindi the role was performed by Boman Irani in a stunning manner.

On speaking Sathyaraj says “Yes, I am thrilled about working with Shankar. Though I denied the villain role he offered me in Sivaji, he was great enough to approach me for this meaty role in the 3 Idiots remake,”

He also thanked Shankar for giving him a great opportunity after a long gap. I heard that I am playing the role of Ileana’s father in the film.

When asked for why he denied the role in Shivaji he says “I acted with Rajinikanth in Mr Bharath because I had equal footage. But the villain role in Sivaji did not have much scope for me. So I took a firm decision said no.”

The film is directed by Shankar and music is scored by Harris Jayraj.
