Richard aka Rishi, brother-in-law of Ajith, is hopeful that 'Thamizhagam' will make it big.

The young lad made his debut with 'Kadhal Virus' and then rechristened his name from Richard to Rishi in search of success.

Rishi is shooting in Ooty for 'Yean Ippadi Mayakkinai', directed by 'Sillunu Oru Kadhal' fame Krishna.

On his brother-in-law Ajith, Rishi says, "He is a source of inspiration for me. He had no backing and it was his self confidence that propelled him to great heights in filmdom. I want to act with Ajith. But, I would like to prove myself before sharing screen space with my sister's husband".

"I play a police officer in 'Thamizhagam' while 'Yean Ippadi Mayakkinai' is a musical thriller. I play a salsa teacher in the movie".
