Won't stop doing comedy roles: Vivekh

Chennai, June 5 (IANS) Contrary to his comic roles, actor Vivekh plays a serious character in forthcoming Tamil drama "Naan Thaan Bala". He says he won't stop taking up comedy roles as he wants to experiment with different roles.

"All my life up to now, I've only taken up comedy roles. When this project came by, I was so touched by the story and the director's faith me, I instantly agreed to do it. This is a very serious film and I'm doing it because I want to experiment. I won't stop doing comic roles," Vivekh told IANS.

"I wanted to see how audiences will accept me in a role. I'm simultaneously working on other films in which I'm playing a comedian as usual. I was challenged by this role that I eventually took it up to prove myself," he added.
