Dindugal Leoni back to acting

Shankar sir called me for the role of Shriya's dad in Rajinikanth starrer Sivaji.

Popular debate moderator, star speaker and actor Dindugal Leoni, who was on a long hiatus from films, is back with a bang.

Speaking at the launch of his new book on humour —Nagaichuvai Kudhirayil En Sindhanai Payanam, a collection of his hilarious speeches, Leoni said, “I started my humour speech at a temple in Vatthalakundu in 1992. And till today I have conducted 5,000 debates abroad too. Then cinema offers started coming.

Shankar sir called me for the role of Shriya's dad in Rajinikanth starrer Sivaji. But, I couldn't accept then and later ‘Pattimandram’ Raja performed. I played the father of Vadivelu and Arun Vijay in the film Ganga Gowri, and my comic performance was received well. I recently met Vadivelu sir and he wanted me to act alongside him in a film. Now, Seenu Ramasamy sir has also given an offer. I am planning to make a comeback in films and continue my journey in politics as well as in Tamil cinema.
