I cannot eat, sleep and breathe movies: Karunas

Having become a household name after his portrayal of Lodukku Pandi in Nandha, which catapulted him to fame, comedian Karunas says acting is not his only identity."I have been in this industry for over a decade, and I still don't consider myself a movie star. I started off as a mimicry artist, have sung 'Gaana' folk music and popularized pop music in the South before I got into acting.I am not one of those who eats, sleeps and drinks movies. I only want to use my status as a comic actor to bring about a difference to society," he says.
The Nandha comedian also has his hands full, and says he cannot be happy with a couple of releases a year.
"I am happiest if I have many releases each year, and will be seen in Ragalaipuram, Chandamama and Machan, with two other films in the negotiation stages. After Dindigul Sarathy and Ambasamudram Ambani, Ragalaipuram will be my third film as an unconventional hero," he quips.
