Abhay Deol was quite impressed by the story of Hero, says director PS Mithran

Irumbu Thirai director PS Mithran spills the beans about roping in Bollywood actor Abhay Deol to play the villain role in Sivakarthikeyan’s Hero. “His presence is going to be the uttermost amplifier in elevating the essence of ‘Hero’” and continues to add the reason behind getting him for this film. “My debut film ‘Irumbu Thirai’ was highly noticed for the overpowering character of the antagonist, which was played by Arjun sir. Obviously, this actually had an additional responsibility to create a villainous character with herculean shades. He’s someone unpredictable and unassuming. His uttermost reactions would be a minimal smile, but there’s more terror lying beneath it. When I was running through my imaginations, it was Abhay Deol, who looked befittingly much perfect and to my surprise, he was quite impressed with the tale and his role as well.”

Bankrolled by Kotapadi J Rajesh for KJR Studios, Kalyani Priyadarshan is playing the female lead with ‘Naachiyaar’ fame Ivana appearing in a prominent role. Action King Arjun is also playing an important role in the film.
