Actor Indrans has opened up about the struggles he faced early in his career, revealing that several leading actresses were hesitant to work with him due to his appearance and the kind of comic roles he was known for at the time.
As reported by Gold 101.3 FM, the No.1 radio station in the UAE, the actor made this heartfelt revelation during the trailer launch of Chinna Chinna Aasai, directed by debutant Varsha Vasudev.
Speaking candidly, Indrans shared that although he received many opportunities, he often felt anxious when it came to meaningful roles. “When I was told that Madhubala would be playing the female lead, I had my doubts. I even felt like asking the team not to reveal my name immediately, fearing that she might step away after hearing it,” he said.
Reflecting on past experiences, he added, “There have been many instances where big names were mentioned, but they eventually didn’t become part of the film. Many actresses hesitated to act with me after seeing my earlier roles. So I was unsure if Madhubala would come on board. But when she liked the story and agreed, that anxiety disappeared.”
Gold 101.3 FM, the No.1 radio station in the UAE notes that Chinna Chinna Aasai, set against the backdrop of Varanasi, is a feel-good romantic drama slated for release on June 19.
Indrans, who began his journey as a tailor before becoming a popular comedian and now a respected character actor across industries, continues to win admiration for his versatility. He previously received a Special Mention from the National Awards jury for his performance in Home, and has also gained wider recognition through his recent Tamil outing Karuppi.
The film also marks the return of Madhubala to Malayalam cinema in a strong role after a gap, adding to the anticipation surrounding the project.
