Sundeep Kishan is always up for an experiment. From playing a cricketer in Shor in the City to a brooding gangster in his latest film Michael, the actor says he’s always followed his heart. “And I’ve kicked it up a notch this year,” he says. With a sequel to Maayavan, Ooru Pairu Bhairavakona, Captain Miller, the actor has his hands full. “I’m having a ball,” he says, adding, "I want to do films that take time and effort, the sequel for Maayavan is one such film.
The audience loves a good story and it's the perfect time to pull off a sci-fi project." Ask him about the rumoured untitled project with
Dhanush #D50 and he clams up.
GOOD STORYTELLING EXCITES MEI grew up watching films like Anji and Govinda Govinda. Since the start of my career, my aim has been to be a part of cinema that tells interesting stories. The box office numbers come second.

MICHAEL WAS A RISK, BUT I DON’T REGRET ITI’m at a stage in my career where I can try something new. I take risks because there’s no middle ground; it has become part of my identity. Michael was one such project – it didn’t go as planned, but it opened many doors. It’s the type of cinema I want to represent, and I don’t regret it.
