Kumar cites films like Bala’s “Naachiyaar,” Rajiv Menon’s “Sarvam Thaala Mayam,” Sasi’s “Sivappu Manjal Pachai” and Sathish Selvakumar “Bachelor” as highlights of his acting career, noting the diverse character portrayals they offered. “It’s about a journey of a boy, it moves into a Harry Potter or Indiana Jones kind of an adventure with a visually stunning backdrop and a new world we’re trying to show with that film.”
