Bollywood actor
Ravi Singh, who played the villain in
Tiyaan
, will once again don the antagonist’s role in
Biju Menon’s latest romcom
Padayottam
. The movie, which is directed by debutant Rafeeq Ibrahim, also has an interesting challenge for the actor — to speak in Malayalam as a funny villain.
While this is Ravi’s third Mollywood film after
Dr Biju
’s yet-to-be-released
Painting Life
, it’s the first time he would be delivering the lines in the language.
The actor, who plays a Malayali settled in Maharashtra in the movie, started shooting for the film a few days ago in Kochi. “It was funny to the say the dialogues in Malayalam and people around me too were having fun hearing me speak with a thick accent,” he says.
The actor though says he is excited about the movie, especially working with Biju Menon. The film, which also has Dileesh Pothan, Saiju Kurup, Anu Sithara and Harish Kanaran, is scripted by Arun A R and Ajay R.
On the movie, scriptwriter Arun says, “It’s a serious comedy like Delhi Belly and Jigarthanda. Though the characters seem very serious in the film, they end up doing all kinds of blunders. It’s sure to be a laugh riot.”
