Ramesh Aravind, who is noted for doing comedy films, is gearing up to do some serious roles now. The actor is currently busy with Sandalwood projects Thunthuru (family drama) and Maaya (horror).

Thunthuru revolves around the beautiful relationship between a brother (played by Ramesh Aravind) and sister (played by Risheeka Singh). The movie also focuses on how a brother will fight for his sister when she is in trouble.

Maaya is based on real life incidents. Daisy Bopanna plays the female lead in it.

On being quizzed about his transition from doing comedy films to serious films, director and actor Ramesh said, “Though I have done a lot of comedy films, I have tried out all genres in Sandalwood. I have also done roles where I need to sacrifice my love interest towards the end, but I am bored of such roles now. I am looking out for serious roles.”
