I Can't Act Off the Screen: Sree Vishnu

Sree Vishnu who has carved a niche for him with honest performances in films like ‘Mental Madhilo’, ‘Needi Naadi Oke Katha’ and ‘Brochevarevarura’ is a reserved person.

He also exhibits shyness in front of the media or on the public stage.

How does he portray varied characters with such ease being so coy in real life?

“I act in front of the camera but I can’t do the same off the camera. I don’t act in real life,” Sree Vishnu replies.

This question was posed by his  ‘Brochevarevura’ director Vivek Athreya who has come forward to interview Sree Vishnu as his new film “Thipparaa Meesam” is hitting the screens this Friday.

In Vivek Athreya’s “Brochevarevarura”, Sree Vishnu was seen as a simple youngster, a soft-natured guy. In “Thipparaa Meesam”, as the title would suggest, his aggressive side will be put on display.

However, Sree Vishnu says he twirls the mustache for silly reasons in most parts of the movie.

“There comes a moment in his life that makes him realize that mustache should be twirled for momentous occasions but not for pretty incidents. That is the crux of the story,” he explains when Vivek Athreya asked about the title.

“Thipparaa Meesam” is directed by Krishna Vijay.

Vivek tried to know the reason for Sree Vishnu’s emotional speech at the film’s event about the mother’s character in the film.

“In my opinion, only a mother’s love is a pure form of love. The mother character, which is played by Rohini, is the real hero in this story. And off the sets, she was like a mother figure to me,” he said.
