Sarath Kumar in ‘Thupaki’

Sarath Kumar’s penchant to do multi-starrers seems to have reached a high, because the actor was apparently non-stop signing interesting projects with other heroes, through which he's expected to play important roles.

The president of South Indian Film Artistes Association, who's doing a vital character in Superstar Rajinikanth’s ‘Kochadaiyaan’, is alleged to be playing a meaty character in Vijay’s forthcoming film ‘Thupaki’, directed by A R Murugadoss.

“There is an all-important character in Thupaki except the only Vijay is doing. When Sarath was approached for the role, he listened to the script and happily accepted the offer,” say sources.

Sarath, a bankable hero by himself, was spearheading a metamorphosis in Tamil cinema. The MLA, who's the executive of All India Samathuva Makkal Katchi, is making a trend by being a part of multi-starrers like ‘Pazhassi Raja’, ‘Kanchana’, ‘Mynaa’ (Kannada) and ‘Kochadaiyaan’.
