  • IndiaGlitz, [Monday,June 21 2004]

Prakashraj the most in demand villain is now acting in Vassol Raja MBBS, Jaggubhai and Anniyan. This means he has to maintain a tight schedule.

However he is reputed for reporting late on the sets. When queried the villain explains" This is my only weakness. For a 7 am call sheet I tell that I will come at 10 am. On sets of Vasool Raja Kamalhassan remarked 'What I heard was right'. Director Krishna Vamsi says it differently ' He is like this but without him I cannot do a film'. If I was a bad actor would I be signed for all the big banner films? ".

He turned producer and his current project Azhagiya Theeay directed by Ratha Mohan is ready for release. " Ratha Mohan is my friend and I wanted to be the first to buy a ticket for the film he directs. The ticket I bought cost me Rs 2 crores( budget for the film)"was the cryptic remark. He hinted that soon he would turn director.
