Actor Hrishikesh made his entry into Kollywood after putting up an extraordinary performance as Dhanush’s brother in the recently released Velai Illa Pattathari. We hear that the budding actor is all set to play the lead role. He is listening to many scripts and will soon finalise on one.

The actor’s career began as an assistant director in the film 180. He said that being an assistant director helped him to understand the making of cinema. He further added that he is concentrating on acting now.

Reportedly, when Hrishikesh met Dhanush he told him that he wanted to become an actor. One day, Hrishikesh got a call from Dhanush’s office asking to come to the audition. He was overwhelmed by Dhanush’s mere presence and concluded saying that he inspired him a lot on the sets of Velai Illa Pattathari.
