Chunky Panday: I play a villain in 'Sardar' and director PS Mitran has always loved his villains - Exclusive!

After doing several impressive roles in Bollywood and other regional language films, Chunky Panday finally made his acting debut in Tamil cinema with P S Mitran's 'Sardar', which was released on Friday. The actor, who recently turned 60, is all excited about his first Tamil film. "I am very excited as my first Tamil film got released. I was offered this film at the peak of the pandemic. When the first lockdown had opened, I actually went to Chennai for the look test. Then we waited for almost 6 months after the look test to actually start the shoot," Chunky tells ETimes.

"Shooting for 'Sardar' was one of the most beautiful experiences. I would say this is the greatest experience I have been through in my acting career. The reason for this great experience is that I have played a character that ages from 35 to the age of 70. So I have two avatars in the film. Similarly, the hero also travels from young to old. So this was kind of a first experience for me," an excited Chunky adds.
