Bharath is pleased as punch. Naturally, for his Em Mahan has opened in a big way.

Talking to media persons in Chennai on Friday, 'Bharath the plaudits and appreciation should all go to director Thirumurugan. It was he who gave shape to this emotional drama when action and masala movies are holding sway.’

Stating that womenfolk have come in large numbers, Bharath said,'Ever since we began to shoot for the movie, we were confident that it would make it big'.

On his forthcoming movies, the actor said, 'I have Chennai Kadhal directed by Vikraman ready for release this Deepavali. I play a happy-go-lucky-youngster in the movie with Genelia opposite me. Then my Veyyil would grace the theatres. This year-end, I have my Koodal Nagar followed by Killadi directed by A Venkatesh lined up for me'.

On choosing his roles, Bharath says, 'Unless I choose my roles with caution and do variety roles, my survival would be difficult for this is a competitive industry. Hope to do different roles and keep my spirits high'.

And he is certainly doing it in style.
