Bollywood heartthrob Neil Nitin Mukesh is making his entry into Kollywood with director A.R. Murugadoss’s Kaththi. The actor will be playing the antagonist in the film, which has Vijay and Samantha in the lead roles.

A happy Neil says that Kaththi may be his first Tamil film, but he has been approached by several Tamil filmmakers in the past. As the actor was not impressed by the roles that were offered, he kept waiting for a better script.

About his role in Kaththi, Neil says that he always prefers strong characters. Also, he stated that his role in Kaththi added value to the film because of which he immediately accepted the offer.
