Looks like actor Tilak prefers to let his work do the talking. After working in the Kannada film industry for more than a decade, the young star has become a little choosy about the kind of projects he wants to work on.
He has been appreciated for his performance in films like 'Karva', 'Nanna Ninna Prema Kathe' and 'Just Aakasmika', to mention a few. He is presently working on 'Sarvasva' and 'Mannady'. He essays the role of a lover boy in the former and slips into the character of an underworld don in the latter.
In an interview with Nina C George, Tilak talks about his work and more.
What got you to sign 'Sarvasva'?
The film is a love drama and delves into issues related to young people. Most youngsters are stuck between spending time with the one they love and concentrating on building a career. These are things that people can relate to. I prefer to focus on my career.
What is different about 'Sarvasva'?
I've worked in different genres — action, horror or romance. 'Sarvasva' was truly different in form and content. There's a visible change in the way directors and scriptwriters are experimenting with new subjects. This film will set a trend of sorts and I find it to be a refreshing change.
What is 'Mannady' about?
'Mannady' captures the happenings in and around a place called Mannady in Chennai. It's where you get all kinds of smuggled goods. I play the role of a underworld don and appear in two shades. In the first half of the film, I play a 25-year-old and in the second half, I switch to the role of a 55-year-old man. I've gone in for a complete makeover to look every inch like an old man.
On taking risks....
Only taking risks can take you a long way. If I go by a set formula, then I am sure my career will come to a standstill in no time. I don't enjoy doing the same kind of work.
About new faces entering Sandalwood...
It's a very pleasant change. There's a visible shift from making hero-centric films to churning out those that capture issues relevant to today's generation. What we see today are good scripts and a surge of new talent.
What keeps you going?
I prefer in keeping things simple and straight. I don't brood over the past but look foward to taking up new projects.
