Mansoor Ali Khan, the famous villain and character artist of Kollywood, turns music director with Kayila Kaasu Vaayila Dosa! Not only that, Mansoor has also written the film’s story, lyrics and even plays the lead role! Comedy will be the film’s mainstay, as in Mansoor’s produced Ennai Paar Yogam Varum, in which he also played the lead.
Bearing a slight resemblance to yesteryear actor Ashokan, Mansoor Ali Khan has been in the film industry for long, playing villain and supporting roles. The actor has a good sense of humour and observation, which is very obvious from the titles of his movies. Mansoor’s style is unique; he has a laidback body language and a casual dialogue delivery, which he uses well not only while playing villain but also while playing the lead. When Mansoor critiques the shortcomings of society in his movies in his laidback manner, it is thoroughly enjoyed by the masses.
Kayila Kaasu Vaayila Dosa will be directed by R. Manivasagan, who directed the short film December 26. He also takes care of the screenplay and dialogues. Delhi Ganesh plays an important role in the film produced by Hameedia Ali Khan for Eezham Cinemas.
PS: Mansoor is also an excellent keyboard player!
