Only hero roles for me: Vadivelu

The comedian is eyeing a comeback with the sequel to Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi
It has been a year since comedian Vadivelu was seen on the big screen. He���������ll be returning soon with the historical Prashanth-starrer that���������s slated to release soon. But, the comedian says he will only sign films that will offer him the lead role henceforth.
���������I wonder what has happened to the comedy shown in Tamil cinema these days! It���������s sad.I don���������t want to do that. I have decided that I need to reach the next level and it will be only hero roles for me. My talks are on with Chimbu Devan, for a part two of Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi. I am determined now that it���������s high time I play lead roles,��������� says Vadivelu.
He adds, ���������Nothing noteworthy has come my way of late. All the films offered to me were small or medium budget films, which I wasn���������t keen on doing. This is the reason why I chose not to sign any films for so long.���������
Talking about his upcoming release, Vadivelu says, ���������After Kaavalan and Ilaignan, this is my comeback on the big screen. It will be a hilarious comedy track, which will run parallel with Prashanth���������s track.���������
The actor-politician is optimistic that 2012 will be good for everyone, including himself. ���������I am waiting for this year to get over. Especially, with the transit of Saturn on December 21, the world at large seems to be drowned in problems ��������� the latest one being the Mullaiperiyar issue. It���������s a bad phase, but things will change for the better in the coming year,��������� he signs off.
