I don’t know how it has changed but I feel, the old formulas are still existing that film has to run (laughs). I didn’t get work post my debut film so I moved down South and made my career out there. There were no roadblocks, there were no roads only for me to go as my film didn’t make any noise.” ALSO READ: Suriya-Jyotika To Return On-Screen After 11 Years for a Movie?
