Myshkin told me when I came to hear the story that we are not the actor I intended: Naren
Naren is an actor who acted in three consecutive films of Tamil director Mishkin. Naren says that Mishkin rejected him from the film saying that he did not have the right face for the character. His response was to Kanchanel Media.
‘Mishkin is often terror. But it’s okay because it’s not new to me. One who is not cannot. It’s easy to reject, hard to embrace.
We should be able to understand why someone rejects us. While studying cinematography I acted in a short film of one of my friend Diwakar.
Everyone there knows that I love to act, teachers and kids used to make fun of me. They said that someone else’s future is lost because of you, who just wasted the seat.
There were even those who said that you should fix the camera first and then you can act. It didn’t affect me because I had the desire to act.
Diwakar told Mishkin regarding me when Diwakar and Mishkin came together for a film due to acting in Diwakar’s short film. When I heard the story told by Mishkin, I might not reject it.
But he looked at me and said that you are not the actor I meant. You have a soft face and soft nature. My character was said to be the one who walks to get hit.
I was clean shaven at the time. I asked if it would be okay if I came with long hair and beard. But there is no limit, he said. Two months later, I went to see my beard and hair extended, and Mishkin ran to me and hugged me,’ Naren said.
Naren said that this is how Mishkin’s first film came to be and the shooting of the film lasted for six months following it was said to be a 60-day shoot.
“Like this, I have missed a lot of movies. At that time, whoever calls me, I am on the location of this film. Many even started asking if he is not doing Malayalam films. My mind wouldn’t let me stop halfway.
Nine months later, during the last schedule, Bhavana came for a song scene. She started teasing me saying that this movie is not done yet, I acted in four movies and one of them was released.
When the film was finally released, there were 50 people in the theater. I was so sad. Water came from the eyes. But then the film suddenly became a discussion and was re-released once more. Chittaram Pesutadi is a film that ran in theaters for 125 days,’ Naren added.
