Direction is my first love: Sasikumar

In a recent interview, director Sasikumar�revealed that acting is quite funny and easy�compared to�film direction, but his first priority is always film direction. The director – who acted in his very first directorial venture Subramaniapuram and is acting in Nadodigal – said that he does not have any ambition of becoming an actor. He�said that his acting in Nadodigal can be construed as a mutual deal – Samudrakani, who directs Nadodigal, had acted in Subramaniapuram at Sasikumar’s request and now Sasikumar is reciprocating. He further added that though he treats acting seriously, for him it is only a way to “let off steam”. Soon we shall see him directing a film,�promised Sasikumar.

Terming his experience of acting in Samudrakani’s Nadodigal as fulfilling and exciting, he points out that his character in the film is in contrast with what he did in Subramaniapuram; in Nadodigal he plays a jaunty man and has even danced to the tunes of a few songs, whereas in Subramaniapuram he played a reticent man.

As reported earlier, Sasikumar is also producing Pasanga and will begin directing a film in April.
