Ajmal essays dual roles in Karuppampatti


Post the success of his Ko, actor Ajmal has become a busy-bee in Kollywood. Ajmal, who debuted as an actor in Mysskin's Anjathay, did a few films including Taxi No.4777 but none of them earned him as much fame and popularity as his role of an young Turk-turned-politician in Ko did. The role, which had shades of grey to it, proved that Ajmal is a competent actor who can take on all kinds of roles.

Ajmal is presently involved in the film titled Karuppampatti where he plays the lead role opposite newcomer Aparna. The film is being directed by Prabhu Rajachozhan, who has taken a huge risk in filming 'live' the famous jallikkattu event which was performed in Palani some time back. Jallikkattu is a brave sport in Tamil Nadu wherein raging bulls are tamed by unarmed youths.

Talking about the progress of the film's shooting schedule, Prabhu has this to say: "As per the script, our hero is a resident of France but comes to the remote village Karuppampatti in India (Tamil Nadu) to find out his roots and to meet his other relatives. The story has been set in the backdrop of the enchanting eighties and has been narrated in an enthralling manner.

"We collected the photographs of those who were students in the locality in the eighties and have managed to make the actors resemble those students who have become old now. Ajmal plays dual roles for the first time but the screen-play has been set in such a manner that there won't be any 'meeting' of the two Ajmals in the film. Aparna too plays dual roles in the film," concludes Prabhu.
