‘Yes, we can talk while driving from Hindusthan College grounds to the Brooke’s Mall. That’s cool, right?’ replies actor Arya to an interview request during the Coimbatore leg of his ongoing road journey zipping across Tamil Nadu to promote his movie Captain.
Settling comfortably into his seat after smiling and waving to the crowd outside, he says he is enjoying the trip so far. “It’s fun visiting colleges and theatres to watch the trailer along with fans. Though we have digital promotion, such ground level interactions have their own value as I can directly connect with audiences... It helps create a buzz, and when you communicate better about the film, it hopefully translates to a better opening. I have done this before for my films like Vasuvum Saravananum Onna Padichavanga way back in 2015.,” says Arya, adding “But, a good film will anyway have a good run, no matter its promotions.”
Arya speaks of his 34 th film Captain, other landmark films of his career like Madarasapattinam , Naan Kadavul, Sarpatta Parambarai, Raja Rani, and his 15-year journey in films.
