Just days before the release of Pachai Kili Muthucharam, Sarath Kumar, the genial host that he is, met the reporters informally on Monday night.

Sarath fielded the various questions with his usual aplomb and kept the media men fully engrossed.

The talk inevitably stayed focused on Pachai Kili Muthucharam.

“You will find a sober Sarath with a restrained performance,” he pointed out, while explaining about his character.

Sarath heaped praises on director Gowtham Menon for giving him a good brief on what to do and what not to. “I just followed his instructions,” he said with typical humility.

Sarath also spoke about the brilliance of camera person Aravind Krishna. “His close-ups will surely zap you,” he said.

Sarath said he had seven films lined up including a big one with Mammootty, directed by Hariharan. Then there are also movies with Gowtham again and with K S Ravikumar as well.

Pachai Kili Muthucharam releases this weekend and features (apart from Sarath) Jyothika, Milind Soman and Andrea.

Music is by Harris Jayaraj.
