The actor, who rose to fame with Mani Ratnam’s Roja, went on to work in many films till 2006 and after a long back made a comeback with Mani Ratnam’s Kadali, which didn’t do well at the box-office.

It was Thani Oruvan, where he played a stylish negative character that turned his career around. He is now getting many offers, one of them being the film’s Telugu remake. Though he charged a mere `50 lakh for the Tamil version, according to a source, he has taken `5 crore for the Telugu film. “Initially he didn’t want to repeat himself, but the Telugu makers insisted, and so he demanded a huge remuneration,” says a source. It remains to be seen how he will be received by the audiences
