The latest to join the list of sons succeeding their fathers in film industry is Ashwin.

Son of actor-turned-politician S Ve Shekher, Ashwin will be making his debut on silver screen with Vegam.

Unlike his father, who carved a niche for himself playing comical roles, Ashwin aspires to establish himself as an action hero.

“It is my desire to make a career out of acting. I thank my father, who encouraged and motivated me. He insisted that I hone my skills before taking the plunge”, says Ashwin.

A dotting father, Shekher is success is assured for movies backed by a good script when action films are the order of the day. A tete-a-te with the father and son.
