Talking about his association with the project, Kathir said in a TimesNow report, “Even though I’ve known Atlee anna for a while now, we’ve never mixed our personal and professional equations. Recently, Atlee Anna offered me an interesting role in his film. We were in discussion for some time and the team even did a look test. Eventually, I came on board. I have no words to express my excitement. I’ve really admired Vijay anna. I am so happy to be working with him. I really can’t divulge any details about my role, except that it will be an interesting one. I am excited to be a part of #Thalapathy63.”
Kathir, who debuted with the 2013 movie Madha Yaanai Koottam, grabbed people’s attention when he played Vijay Setupati’s brother in the movie Vikram Vedha. Also starring Madhavan, the movie directed by Pushkar Gayathri went onto become a huge hit.
However, it was his performance in last year’s Pariyerum Perumal that won him appreciation. Produced by Pa. Ranjith’s Neelam Productions, the movie was directed by Mari Selvaraj, a former assistant of Ram. Pariyerum Perumal dealt with the caste system in the country. After having been screened at various film festivals, the movie recently won the Best Film award at the Norway Tamil Film Festival.
Sigai, his latest movie where he plays a trans woman, is currently airing on Zee5.
