Guinness Pakru to play the lead in Madhav Ramadasan's 'Ilayaraja'

World's shortest movie hero Ajay Kumar, lovingly called Guinness Pakru, will have a new feather in his hat as he is preparing to play the lead character in 'Ilayaraja', directed by acclaimed filmmaker Madhav Ramadasan.
The poster of the movie, with a close-up shot of Guinness Pakru with a serious look on his face, has the tagline "This fire can't be blown off, this inner fire of life".Ramadasan has earlier worked on 'Melvilasom' and 'Apothecary', both critically appraised movies.
The shooting of the movie commences by the start of next month.
"Am very happy and I'm a fan of Ramadasan," said Pakru as a response to his new role.

"He (director) has given me a challenging role for an actor like me. Ilayaraja means small king, so it has some resemblance with me," said Pakru. Pakru will direct a movie also this year and he is engaged with the script work of that movie.
