Ever since the 1980s, he has acted in over 200 movies – beginning with Tamil movies before crossing over to Telugu. He was one among the original action stars, and even trained in martial arts. After a gap of a few years, he was seen as the villain in Rajnikant-starrer Sivaji . But what is pertinent now is that he is making his debut in Bollywood, that too, as the bad guy.
On Thursday, Suman proudly announced his work as a villain in Gabbar , directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, that has popular action star Akshay Kumar as the hero and is all set to hit the screens on Friday.
“I am excited for more one reason. Apart from the fact that I am making my debut in Bollywood, that too as the bad guy, it was an exhilarating experience working with a powerhouse called Akshay Kumar. He must be in his mid-forties and coming from someone as young, compared to my 56, his compliments at my physical fitness and martial arts style was very encouraging,” Suman said, adding that there were two fight sequences in the film that would definitely be a treat to the eyes.
To catch a star
Meeting their favourite stars is what every die-hard fan dreams of. But, not many would try something unique in the run-up to that special moment. Trust actor Pawan Kalyan to have such unique admirers. A. Ravi of Kharagpur, West Bengal, cycled all the way to Hyderabad and met his icon on Thursday.
In the process, he covered 1,500 kms on his bicycle after starting from Kharagpur on April 3. Having undergone the arduous journey, Ravi turned emotional upon meeting the actor at his office in the city. He showed off his cycle, which was decked up an with India flag and a board with logo of the actor’s political party, to Pawan Kalyan and interacted with him on various topics.
