From Richard to Rishi

Ajith's brother-in-law and up-and-coming actor Richard had been part of several films including '€˜Kadhal Virus'€™ and '€˜Naalai'€™. Though he has the right looks and acting skills, he is still to make a mark for himself in Kollywood.

Now he has opted to change his name looking for better fortunes. Richard has rechristened himself as Rishi for his forthcoming venture 'En Ippadi Makkinaai' to be produced by Kovai Thambi and directed by '€˜Sillunu Oru Kadhal'€™ fame Krishna.

It may be recalled that recently actor Vignesh had changed his name to Vigneshwaran, while T Rajendher changed his name to Vijaya T Rajendher.
