It is not only the 1st Movie in Sun TV's Top 10 continuously ever since its release, Rojakkoottam has also remained so even in the hearts and minds of all those who believe in love. With now people not only talking about his charming looks but also his convincing performance in Rojakkoottam get to read an exclusive interview with Srikanth of Rojakkoottam fame   

You have been complimented about your performance in Rojakkoottam even before its release? And it was proved true with the release of the film? How are you taking the success?
       First, I would like to thank all those who made my dreams come true. Success is what every one dreams of in life and today I am just on the first step towards success. It's exciting at the same time it reminds me of my duties and expectations. Most of all success could have not been spelt right without U.

How much of Srikanth do you see in the role Ilango you played in Rojakkoottam?
       Quiet a lot; when it comes to the pranks I play on my folks, it has been just the same way as in my life. I appear as a much responsible guy in the second half of the movie and on a personal level I feel I have become a more responsible person after taking up this movie. Basically you can say, I just lived the role, of Ilango I played in Rojakkoottam.

Looking into your heart do you have any recently signed fifty rupees note like the one you treasured as Ilango in Rojakkootam?
       Yes, in many of my viewers heart and I have signed them.

What are the other movies you are doing right now?
       I am going to do a movie with the 'Minnale' Director Gautam, one with the associate director of Rojakkottam Mr.Stanley, opposite Sneha in a film called 'April Mathathil', another with Director Saran of Gemini fame. A couple of movies will be decided in the near future. Could be working with directors like Cheran and Vasanth. Altogether five movies under my belt now.

There was a recent rumor about the tiff that you had with Oscar Focus Production Company which produced your debut film Rojakkoottam? How do you react to such rumors?
       As you say they were just rumors because I am doing one of my forth coming movies with Oscar Focus. As I said we are a family and no room for hard feelings. Gossips are just to be heard and not to be taken to heart, skip it.

Are/were you being selected for any of Vikraman's film? If you are doing so, is it true that you will not be playing the hero but a character role instead?
       I haven't been asked for any such roles but yes I hope and I dream of working with him. He is a wonderful director. I like his works a lot and it will be an honor. Hoping to work with him in the near future.

Is direction on the cards somewhere in the distant future?
Its time for me to groom myself as a good actor and rise to the occasion of doing wonderful roles. I would like to just live my life as an actor and only as an actor.

Happiest moment in your life?
Best moment I think is the moment when I first stood in front of the camera and watched myself on the silver screen.
