"I happened to attend a family event where literally every youngster identified me and my films. I was flying high until the man who served me food asked 'Sir, why all your films are so serious? You have to do films for all type of audience.' He then asked me to do one full length peppy commercial entertaining comedy film. Elaborating further he explained to me that he had aspirined to be a director before switching to this catering profession. He then cited the example of Kamal sir's Rajaparvai and Sagalakala Vallavan as a classic example. This gave me the extra push to do Savaale Samaali. I am very sure, setting up with a new genre will connect me to more sections of the audience,” says the confident young actor Ashok Selvan.
