Why did the master Bharathiraja choose Ameer over Parthiban in his Anna Kodiyum Kodi Veeranum (AKKV) which was launched on November 1 in Theni with a lot of fanfare?
It seems Parthiban did a photo shoot for the film and Bharathiraja was not happy with it.
The character he was to play in AKKV is called Kattuvirya, a village rowdy of the 70's.
Bharathiraja saw Ameer at the funeral of Jeeva Ilayaraja in Theni and was impressed with his hunk looks.
The director quietly conducted a photo shoot with Ameer in Kattuvirya get-up.
Bharathiraja was blown over when Ameer readily agreed to take off his beard to bring that edge and authenticity to the character.
