We had recently reported about ‘Angamaly Diaries’ fame Sarath Kumar bagging a role in Mani Ratnam’s upcoming movie Chekka Chivantha Vaanam (CCV). This is his second Tamil film after Sandakozhi 2 and the actor is all excited about it. In a recent interview to TOI, Sarath opened up on how he landed a role in Mani Ratnam’s movie.

Apparently, the legendary filmmaker had watched Sarath’s performance in Angamaly Diaries and was mighty impressed by it. Sarath was called upon for a screen test and that’s how he bagged the role. He didn’t reveal more details about his role expect for the fact that it’s a very serious one which offers him good scope for performance.
