The various series aired on Vijay TV have been vaunted among the fans. In that sense, the favorite serial of the youngsters is Kanakaanum kaalangal. 90s fans cannot forget this series. This series was at the top of the TRP rating. Also, following the success of the series, Kanakaanum kaalangal kallooriyin Kadhai and Kanakaanum kaalangal kalloori salai were telecasted. Various actors and actresses who have starred in this series have become celebrities on TV and silver screen.
In that sense, Raghavendra is popular among the people through his role as a ‘puli’ in this serial. He is currently starring in the series Kaatrukkenna Veli which is being aired on Vijay TV. In this situation, he has given an interview recently saying that he is leaving the series and leaving the media. In it, he says, “I have been in the media field for 15 years. I initially played a friend role to the hero.
Ragavendra’s interview:
I have been acting like that until now. No one is ready to give me a chance. I cannot join hands to the enslavement here. I think that's one of the reasons for the denial. My mom and dad have been working hard for me all these years. I don’t want to make them suffer. Also, I would go to the shooting spot 15 days a month. But, they show me in the scene for only two or three days.
His situation in the serial:
That too I had been an object of the set at times. They say that they are going to give you a major role but only after some episodes do we come to know the truth about our character’s importance. Two months ago, I got a monthly salary of Rs 6,000. How will I run my family with this? Then my salary was only 3,500 rupees a month. Even a beggar will earn more than me. And many people are famous for saying bad words on YouTube.
State of the supporting artists:
Time is running out to that extent. As far as I am concerned t supporting role actors are very sinful. This is the state of them. They do not have a salary, do not have a good character, do not have peace of mind. I was playing the role of Maran in Kaatrukkenna Veli. I knew very well that the absence of the character would not affect the serial in any way.
Ragavendra leaves Media.
So, I knew that they will send me out. Other than that, it would be very difficult financially. I realized that nothing can be done with my dream of acting. That’s why I am leaving the media. Looking back on all these years I feel heart-breaking as I am standing at the same point where I started. This is so unfair!!!
