Arya is already one of the popular young heroes of the day in Kollywood.

But after working under Bala, the mercurial director known for his morbid but sensitive stories, Arya’s career graph is set to pick up further.

Already, Arya is doing such popular movies like Auto and Vattaram.

But it is Naan Kadavul that is expected to take him to new heights.

The movie is already under shoot. The movie has Bhavana playing the heroine.

Naan Kadavul has seen some controversy and Arya was not the chosen one for the hero’s role.

But when the movie landed on his lap, he was mighty thrilled.

‘I had met Bala way back and asked for a role, any role actually, in his film. So when he called up one day with the offer for a hero’s role, it was almost unbelievable,’ Arya says with obvious happiness.

At the shooting spot, Arya holds on to every word that Bala says and jut concentrates on his work.

‘And when Bala says ‘okay’ it feels like an award,’ Araya gushes.

Looks like a new Arya is emerging out of Bala’s factory.
