I wanted to do a film that suits the normal person in me: Bala
Kalakka Povathu Yaaru ( KPY ) and Cooku With Comali fame Bala will be playing the lead for the first time in a yet-to-be-titled feel-good film helmed by filmmaker Sherief . Speaking about how he chose the film, Bala says, 'When you do something for the first time, there is a responsibility and fear to do it right. I did get offers to play lead roles earlier, but I was doubtful whether I was the right fit for them.' He adds, 'I wanted to do a film which will suit me because I know that I'm a normal person and not a big star. I'm an upcoming artiste and I don't know whether I can do five fights in a film. When we take the first step, we should make the right decision; I believe I have done that.' Talking about Namita Krishnamurthy, who will be paired opposite him in the film, Bala says, 'She is superb and is such a sweet soul.' Going forward, Bala wants to be part of stories that everyone relates to. 'I would continue to work hard and do films that people like. My desire is to do good films and good deeds because I don't view my success as mine alone but also as that of everyone around me.' Bala also highlights how much of a support Raghava Lawrence has been for him. 'He is like my brother and is very special to me. He was the first person I told that I want to act as a hero. And he was also the one who said that it will definitely happen.' 'I don't post what I do on YouTube and earn money from it' Bala, who is known for his philanthropic work, addresses the criticism he gets and states, 'I don't post what I do on YouTube and earn money from it. If that was the case, I would have found the criticism valid. But I post what I do on Instagram so that people get inspired. If I post a video holding a cigarette, then it's my fault for influencing people the wrong way. But, when I post something good and if it inspires people, there's nothing more that I want.'
