Actor-director Radhakrishnan Parthiepan is on seventh heaven since his film Kathai Thiraikathai Vasanam Iyakkam has opened to overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics, film buffs and celebrities in large. He has another reason to smile now for he is foraying into Sandalwood in a film titled Dada directed by Santhosh. “I have been approached by Kannada filmmakers for the past 10 years, but this film seemed just right. It is called Dada and I play the protagonist,” says Parthiepan to a daily.
“I have done Malayalam films and I have an audience there now. My reason to do a Kannada film is selfish. I want a market in Bangalore and Mysore for my Tamil films through my Sandalwood debut,” says Parthiepan candidly.
