Abhay Krishna To Act In Adida Melam

Cinematographer Abhay Krishna will be playing the lead in Adida Melam which is directed by Anbu Stalin. He will share screen space with Thakka Thakka actress Abhinaya. The cinematographer-turned-actor revealed that he always dreamed of being an actor.

Abhay stated, “Acting has been a dream for long but my father, Vittalnathan, who was a lecturer in the film institute in Taramani, advised that I should know the technical aspects of filmmaking as well. That's how, I assisted Siruthai Siva for a Telugu film”. Talking about the film, he said, “It is a complete entertainer. I play a wedding planner who also offers advice on horoscopes. Abhinaya plays the female lead”.

Appreciating Abhinaya for her hard work, Abhay said, “Having been an assistant cinematographer, I have seen actors work hard to look their part. But, being speech and hearing impaired, Abhinaya had to work extra hard. She has had to speak very few lines in her films so far, but in this film, she has a lot of dialogues and she managed to speak them all with perfect lip-sync, even though she does not know the language”.
