For those who admire Prakash Raj, here comes Sampath Raj, who is of late, impressing everyone doing varied roles like the former did in his initial days.

With Prakash Raj becoming busy acting, producing and directing movies in different languages, many in the industry feel Sampath Raj is the right replacement for him.

Expressing happiness, Sampath Raj says, "I am happy that people compare me with such a great actor. But honestly, I still have a long way to go".

Stating that he is not keen not just on doing villainous roles, Sampath Raj says, "If I comes across a character that has a scope to perform, I am ready for it. Films like ‘Goa’ and ‘Kattradhu Kalavu’ help me sharpen my acting skills."

Thanking director Venkat Prabhu and his team, he says, "Working in Chennai 28, Saroja and Goa gave me an identity. It gave me the confidence to accept challenging roles. I am ready for the race", he winds up.
