Sibiraj Opens Up About His Interesting Role In Jiiva’s ‘Pokkiri Raja’

Few days back it was reported that Jiiva’s forthcoming film ‘Pokkiri Raja’ might be pushed back because of the loss incurred by the distributors because of Vijay starrer ‘Puli’. Both the films have been bankrolled by P. T. Selvakumar. He had to pay Rs.1.5 crore as compensation to avoid postponement of the film.  The film will hit the screens on March 4, as planned.

The action-comedy also features Hansika Motwani as female lead and Sibiraj as the villain. Sibiraj opened up about his role in the Ramprakash Rayappa directorial and said, "I play a gangster who roams around in veshti (dhoti). I always wanted to do a dhoti-clad character. I love wearing dhoti, but I seldom wear it in my daily life. Since I was expected to wear a dhoti throughout the film, I started wearing it even before it went on the floors".

He plays the character of 'cooling glass Guna' in the flick. He added that his character is very interesting, he shared, "It's a very interesting character. Unlike a regular gangster, I get to be goofy in this role. The cooling glass I sport is like a character of its own”. The actor hinted that he is not playing the typical villain in the film and his character will be fun to watch.
