Simbu was the first choice for my role in 'Soodhu Kavvum’: Karunakaran
New Indian ExpressEleven years ago, a three-film-old Karunakaran got his claim to fame playing Arumai Pragasam, in Nalan Kumarasamy’s debut directorial, Soodhu Kavvum. “Honestly, even I wouldn’t have cast myself in the role if I was the producer,” Karunakaran admits candidly, adding, “Initially, CV Kumar sir had Simbu sir in mind for the role of Arumai Pragasam, while Nalan had planned to cast me in a different role. Fortunately, I vented my disappointment to Karthik Subbaraj, who spoke to CV Kumar sir on my behalf, which finally convinced him.” On whether he was hesitant to play a grey-shaded role in his fourth film, Karunakaran gives an honest reply, “It was too early on in my career to be choosy about roles. I had quit my job just then, and I had to take up any role that would pay my bills.” While his performance as Arumai Pragasam caught enough eyes, it was the ‘Kasu Panam’ song that made him a household name.
