Sibi R plays the role of a police officer named Castro. Sibi said, “Throughout the night, she becomes the most complex case of her career, and the film travels with her as she faces a quite unexpected turn.” This is the fifth role of the actor as a policeman, later Nigal Zakirathai, Jackson durai, Walter And his Kavaludari Remake, Kabdadari, In which his traffic constable character eventually becomes a policeman. A lot of khaki on the same shoulders can be quite monotonous, but Sibi has somehow managed to make the roles her own. “Maybe this is due to success Nigal ZakirathaiThe directors feel that I am a tailor for the role. In addition, thanks for the preparations I made for that film – such as arms training I was in a police academy in Adyar – I find it easy to go to a policeman’s groove. ,

In today’s Tamil cinema, an experienced actor like Sibi can dub in some experiments, perhaps like his anti -twist in 2010, to settle for more or less templates with big stars. Nanayam“I have always been open to experiment. I believe I have started doing so since 2007 TookBut yes, I am on the course to use more, ”assures Sibi.

20 years ago, Sibi was busy working with his father, veteran actor Satyaraj, like in the title Kovi brothers And Vetrivel Sathivale, But except Jackson duraiBoth have not acted together. In 2009, Sibi reported Hindu“Next, we will only work when the project is unique. I do not intend to ride a piggiback on my father.” He also said that those films did not make him as good as he did to his father.

When Indian cinema passed through its OTT Boom, the audience and critics hoped that it would give rise to more niche, short efforts and long-lasting efforts-and more places like Sibi, who started in the 2000s, could use them to promote their game. SIBI accepts that this has not happened. “But as efforts have been made Suzal And Inspector sageSo I hope more opportunities will open and I will get their share. ,

What about multi-starrs? Even several contemporaries of Sibi, such as Jiv, Bharata and Srikanth, have welcomed the screen to share the screen with other stars. “Of course, when Ajit Kumar and Vijay’s choice also has no objection to acting with other stars, then why should I do it?”

SIBI seems to be particularly grateful to the broader landscape that is introduced by streaming. “We are now consuming materials from all over the world, and an actor like himself can now compete with people from other regional industries. It gives unprecedented access to our content. It provokes me.” Among the recent titles around the world, Netflix’s sensational limited series Adolescent It seems that a strong impression has been left on Sibi.

And so you wonder: Is it possible to mount a uniform creative effort in Tamil? “Of course. If we can repeat that level of technical talent, I would say that our version can also go globally. Imagine a series that finds out how a rural city in contact with social media affects a boy in the city, someone has never set foot in the city.” Talking about desires, does Sibi take the role of the dream that she has yet to play? “Not especially. Many attraction of acting is to lead many lives through our characters. I am excited by every character that comes in my way,” they say.

As we reach the end of our chat, I present a complicated position. If Sibi gets to meet her 2005 himself, does the nugget of knowledge share with her? “I would recommend him to start his career in 2007, Took As his first film. I do not mean that I removed the previous films, but it was only during Took That I could bring myself to see my face on screen and accept it. “When more intense, he shared how he made his debut when he was too young to understand the ropes of the business. Took That I learned about myself and developed very seriously in my craft, “He shares. So, what would he ask if he had met his 2045?” If his decisions were good, I would have thanked him. If not, I scold him (Laughing),
