Nepolean - Tall actor rising high

An active politician and a popular actor Nepolean is in joy now. He is part of three big movies which would hit the screens one after another.

His Vattaram, directed by Saran, will be released this Deepavali followed by Pokiri in which he plays a prominent role along with Vijay.

The tall actor is part of Kamal Haasan's much-hyped Dasavatharam, shooting for which is progressing at a rapid pace. Also a couple of offers from Malayalam films are in the pipeline.

On his role in Vattaram, Nepolean says, 'I was surprised when Saran offered me the role of a fashionably attired don. Working with him was a great experience. People would see a new Nepolean in the movie'.

The actor, who has completed over 90 films, began his career by doing negative roles. Asked whether he would do a baddie now on the screen no is the instant reply.

'I don't accept negative roles. It won't be right to do them when I'm in politics,' he says.
