I wished my father was there to see me play this role: Sivakarthikeyan

Sivakarthikeyan, who plays a police officer for the first time in Kakki Sattai, says he was little skeptical when the film was initially offered to him. Sivakarthikeyan’s father was a police officer in real life and passed away while on duty. “20 days into the film’s shooting, I had to don the khaki. And that moment was very emotional and it really seemed like I was taking charge as a policeman. It brought back memories of my father and I wished he was there to see me play this role,” says Sivakarthikeyan.

“I’m used to playing comic roles, but to suddenly play a policeman came with a lot of challenges. The challenges were as simple as standing erect and making eye contact,” adds Siva.

Kakki Sattai is slated to hit cinemas on February 27th. Directed by Durai Senthilkumar, it has Sri Divya, Prabhu and Vidyu Raman in important roles.
