There is romance in this film, but it's different from the usual kind of romance that we have seen. Though the story is about some students, it is not a typical campus story.

I can't reveal more as it is a thriller and more details could hamper the suspense value. All I can say is Heart Beats is different from my other films in the story line, treatment and presentation.

You started off your career as a villain in Ooma penninu uriyaada payyan while your brother Prithviraj was a hero. Was that a deliberate move?

Not really. I was offered to play the villain first and I accepted it. (Smiles) Of course, if it was a hero, I would have accepted that too. I am always trying hard to prove myself as a good actor. It was my priority then and it is my primary concern even now. More than aspiring to become a big star, I want to make people notice that I am a good actor and of course, it is never an easy thing to do. I want to do different kind of roles.

Soon after Ooma penninu uriyaada payyan, I did Meesa Madhavan, which also had me doing a negative character. I never felt uncomfortable performing all that. Since then I have done 28 films with positive, negative, supporting and comic characters. I sincerely hope that after the variety roles that I have done in these films, the viewers now look forward to me as a nice actor.
