''I thought I can't become a good anchor, and the show was like an acid test for me,'' smiles Sanjeev, a close friend of actor Vijay. He is also known for his way of presenting ‘Maanada Mayilaada’ show on Kalaignar TV. So I moved into serials and now I am getting good character roles in films,'' says the actor. I played the hero's friend in a couple of movies, and I got to play the same role. So my passion was more on acting right from my school days. My mother's sister is Manjula Vijaykumar and my sister Sindhu was an artiste.
''My whole family belongs to film industry. Sanjeev will play a major role in ‘Kalsam’ serial on Sun TV and will also do a couple of films. I'm privileged as it's going on prime time,'' he says. ''The character resembles me and it's easy to work. And, as the director said, Sanjeev who plays a sentimental man also has a soft corner among serial buffs. He gave me the major responsibility as most of the serials are more on women issues,'' says the actor. ''When the director briefed me about my character, he said ladies should weep seeing your role. While many serials focus on women, ‘Thirumathi Selvam’ is hero-centric.
