Earlier speaking to City Times, Fahadh had said he does not consider himself "as an actor for other languages. I think in Malayalam and my command on other languages is very minimal."
He was even emphatic in saying, "Every time I interact with a maker from outside Kerala, the first and the only thing I ask is "Can you do a film in Malayalam?"
So what swung Fahadh's decision to do a Tamil film, and that too in a villain role, as reports state? Well, it could nothing else than the strong credentials of director Mohan Raja, who has the honour of introducing Fahadh in Tamil. Mohan Raja, the director of Thani Oruvan, brought out masterful villainy from Arvind Swami in the movie. Can't blame Fahadh for being tempted, can we?
Simply titled MR9SK11, the film will reportedly have Sivakarthikeyan and Nayanthara in its cast.
