Kannada action star turns to comedy after accident

Bangalore, Oct 29 (IANS) Action star Darshan is out to reinvent himself in comedy roles. His next film "Suntaragaali" is all set to present this new face of the star.

"I am glad that director Sadhu Kokila has given me a perfect platform in the form of a very good script. You will be laughing throughout this film, which has its usual quota of exclusive fights for the benefit of my fans," says Darshan.

Recently, director Guru Datt and story writer Janardhana Maharshi narrated to Darshan a script that also focuses on comedy. This film will be launched in December.

These two films together can transform the actor's image, say insiders in the industry.

Darshan's attempt at a metamorphosis follows a week's rest after sustaining injuries while shooting a fight sequence in his forthcoming film "Mandya".
