Here’s the real Christopher from Ratsasan!

Vishnu Vishal’s recently released psycho-thriller Ratsasan is the current talk of the town. The movie has got unanimously positive reviews and has been declared a superhit at the box office. Directed by Ram Kumar of ‘Mundasupatti’ fame, the movie is an investigative thriller that has Vishnu in the role of a newly joined Sub-inspector. One of the major highlights of the movie is the psycho killer’s character.

Unlike the typical ‘villain’ pyscho characters that have appeared in Tamil cinema previously, or perhaps in Indian cinema, the one in Ratsasan has a lot of peculiarities. The character has a strong backstory and it is physically very demanding to play that part. The makers had kept the identity of the actor who played the role as a secret all this while. Last day, a press meet was held in Chennai where the actor was introduced to the medias.

Saravanan, a debutant, played the role of Christopher. Speaking at the event, he explained about the efforts he had put in to play the character. Apparently, he survived on liquid diet all through the movie’s shoot and suffered from ill health. He also got emotional while talking about how many other deserving actors are struggling to get a platform like this, in such a big film.

Ratsasan continues to do well at all the centres courtesy the highly positive word of mouth. In states like Kerala and Karnataka, the screen count has been increased after the good response from the audience.
