What do you usually do on New Year's day?
I ensure I don't celebrate New Year in the same place every year. I always spend the special day with my family but in different locations. I don't repeat the celebrations as well. Last time, I had a small party at home and this year, I'm sure not to repeat it. I want my every New Year celebration to be unique and memorable.
What do you wish for yourself in 2014?
I wish a healthy year for me. Health is everything in life according to me. If you are unwell you cannot enjoy anything in life.
Have you ever made a New Year resolution?
I find them hard to keep, so I don't make resolutions at all. I think they are practically difficult to maintain. I have tried making one during my school days, but it didn't work.
Tell us one New Year resolution that you would never like to make...
Getting up to the first ring of an alarm clock in the morning, without going for the snooze button. (laughs)
Will we get to see you in a lot of Tamil films this year?
Definitely. The Kollywood audience will get to see me in a bunch of films this year. I am discussing a lot of scripts in Tamil, and I might sign a few this year. I have already signed the bilingual, Mahaabali, directed by Rajamouli. And, my first release of the year is going to be Veeram.
How excited are you about Veeram?
Veeram is a very big film in my career as I am cast opposite Ajith in the film. It was a great opportunity for me to share screen space with a person who has a terrific screen presence. I felt grounded after working with Ajith. I am looking forward for this mega release for Pongal. This film will set the tone of my career in Tamil films this year. I feel I have an amazing year ahead.
Siva Karthikeyan does not want to be a Great Actor or a Mass Hero
2/01/2014
Siva Karthikeyan one of the rising stars of Kollywood in the year 2013 opened up in a recent interview to Deccan Chronicle. Here are some excerpts from the interview
His film Journey from 2012 to 2013
“In the film Marina, I was seen only for an hour and again in 3, I was seen for a short time. Then came Manam Kothi Paravai and KBKR. From the duration of screen space to working in double-hero subjects, I ensured that I had a smooth transition. I patiently waited to win the best offer. All that I had in mind was to work with great teams. (Year 2013) The success of all the films was gratifying indeed. But success instills more pressure and fear in me as I have to work harder to live up to the audience’s expectations.However, I didn’t foresee that they would become such huge hits. When I was working on all the three films, I felt a positive vibe, and that is reflected in the end product too."
On his daughter Aradhana :
"I was the happiest when my daughter was born. After my father passed away, if there was anything that made me smile it was when I held my tiny baby in my arms. When my father was a police officer, even when I used to get caught by the police at a traffic signal, I wouldn’t use his name. So, the same policy will be applied to my daughter also. She has to find her own identity”.
His Upcoming films Maankarate and Tanaa :
"I am giving my heart and soul to both the films. All that matters to me is, irrespective of their age, the audience should be able to appreciate my films. More than being a great actor or a mass hero, I want to be an entertainer. And most importantly, consistency is success. Now that I have tasted some success, I will focus on giving steady hits".
