His friends in Kollywood are searching for him, but Atharva remains elusive. The reason is- the young actor is sporting a different hair-do for Bala's forthcoming film and it is a strict order from the director not to reveal his new look to anyone.

"Bala always experiments with characters in his films and he is doing it once again, this time with Atharva. Remember Arya was on a hibernation mode when he was doing Naan Kadavul and Avan Ivan," sources say.

Tentatively titled 'Eriyum Thanal', the Bala's next is expected to hit the floors soon. "I am gifted that I have got an opportunity to work with Bala sir so early in my career," says Atharva.

The 'Baana Kathadi' actor adds: "My father (Murali) shared a very good rapport with Bala. They used to meet often and discuss so many things. I think it is due to their friendship Bala decided to cast me in his film."
