Sivakarthikeyan on ‘Doctor’, the lessons he learnt from ‘Hero’ and why Siva 2.0 is just starting
The Hindu
Actor Sivakarthikeyan discusses his new film, ‘Doctor’, whether he would take up morally-flawed characters, and how does he deals with criticism
Sivakarthikeyan is not weighed down by the load of the brand he has built over a period of nine years as an entertainer. It is another thing that he doesn’t see it as a ‘burden’, even if it is a staple of mindless entertainers with which he is often associated, despite notable exceptions.
He gives a rather practical and measured response to the question of being stuck to the Sivakarthikeyan template.
“If I am able to produce Doctor in a budget that was required, and also be part of films such as Hero, it is only because of the success and money those entertainers have made. Before Hero, I don’t think I would have made such an attempt but after its release, I decided to make sure those attempts don’t go in vain,” says Sivakarthikeyan over a steamy cup of hot chocolate, when we meet at a cafe in the city.
