Sathya NJ, who has worked as a stylist for several A-lister stars like Vijay in Bairavaa and Theri and STR in Anbaanavan Asaradhavan Adangaathavan, turned actor with Sasikumar’s Vetrivel. He has completed seven films so far. The young stylist says that his decision to don the grease paint was to achieve a greater purpose — to play in the Celebrity Cricket League (CCL).
“I am a professional cricketer and have played district level cricket. My dad wanted to see me as a cricketer. I wanted to become a stylist and it’s great to see that I am doing some good work. Now, to fulfill my dad’s wish, I pursued acting. If not in regular cricket, I thought I should make an attempt in CCL, for which the pre-requisite was to act in seven films,” he reveals.
He adds, “My future movies include AAA and Irumbu Thirai with Vishal. I have a solid role in AAA and shared screen space with Kasthuri madam, which is releasing this week. I am sure the movie will give me a big break. Even in Irumbu…, I have a substantial character.”
