Udhay: My grandfather inspired me to become an actor

Blessed with good looks and ambitions of becoming an actor, Udhay browsed through the pages of film directors' and producers’ directories rather than the Sunday classifieds. Undeterred by failures, he persevered in his search. Finally, his perseverance paid off. He bagged the lead role in Theeyavan. As the news about his acting skills and enthusiasm spread, he bagged two more films while Theeyavan is still in the making! Soon, he will act as a medical student in one film and as a naïve young man in the other.

When questioned about his love for acting, Udhay says cinema runs in his blood. That is because he is the grandson of T.T. Sundaram, the famous makeup man of S.S. Rajendran. He says he grew up listening to his grandfather’s experiences on the film sets, interactions with film actors, and watching his photos with various film actors; all these instilled a wish to act in films. It grew manifold every day with his grandfather’s talks about cinema and he took a resolution that he would definitely become an actor one day.

When asked about his role model in Kollywood, the reply comes at lightning speed – Ajith! “I am diehard fan of Ajith. I never miss the first-day-first-shows of Ajith starrers. Never. I will definitely follow his style,” says this budding actor.
