Having done five films with director K V Anand, actor Jagan believes he has done justice to each character. A comedian, and TV anchor, Jagan is seen in this week’s release Manal Kayiru 2 , and his next, the fast-progressing Kavan , is nearing completion.
“Seeing well-known comedians turn into heroes has given actors like me hope. I see my job beyond one-liners, and I have learned to leave my mark, even if it is one solitary frame. I had extended footage in movies like Anegan , and this helped me get a strong foothold.”
As a full-time actor, Jagan longs to emulate his idol Nagesh. “For me, he was the ultimate actor, whose mere presence brightened the screen.”
