For a long time, he was subjected to body shaming. If you search ‘Indrans movie acting’ on YouTube, you will find different characters from his films. He started as a costume designer, then took up small roles, and now he has become a National Award-winning hero. He studied only up to the 4th standard. Later, he went back and even wrote his 7th standard exam. Dreams do not have an expiry date.”
