Born in Kolkata, brought up in Bangalore, educated in Mumbai and settled in Chennai — that’s actor Abbas’ description in short. The multi-lingual actor is flooded with offers from Tamil, Telugu and Kannada industries and is all excited about returning to the Kannada industry after ten years.The good looking actor is playing a pivotal role in the Kannada movie Appu and Pappu, which will hit the screens in May. The film features an orang-utan for the first time in the history of Indian cinema.
“When I heard the script of Appu and Pappu, it sounded interesting and hence, I became a part of the film. I am touched by the warmth of the film unit. Our journey to Cambodia for shooting was really fun and we bonded like a family,” recalls Abbas.
Is the movie inspired from the Hollywood flick Dunston Checks In? “Yes, but the storyline is totally different. Dunston... deals with comedy, but Appu... is about the sentiments of a father and mother,” avers Abbas.
The talented artiste is also acting in Ramdev, which will be produced in Tamil and Telugu. Directed by S K Basheed, the movie is slated to release in May. “Ramdev is a love triangle with a new concept, which has shades of the Bollywood hit Dhadkan,” he reveals. He is also busy with another Tamil and Telugu consignment Chori Chori, the shooting for which will finish in a few days.
“My journey in this glittery world started in 1994 and it’s been really interesting and memorable. I have acted with almost all the great artistes like Rajnikanth, Kamal Hassan, Ajith and Madhavan and have learnt many things from them,” he says modestly.
He is all praises for Sandalwood. “Kannada industry is now full of young blood and innovative ideas. Some experiments are also going on which is a positive trend,” he feels.
When asked about the secret behind his good physique, he replies, “I do yoga everyday for an hour and go cycling on Sundays for nearly 40 kilometres. I also play football and visit the gym frequently. These things help me keep fit.”
