“
Arya
,” the smart star had been highly expecting a huge success from “Kadamban,” for which he worked hard. But, the film didn’t attract the audiences due to its unimpressive screenplay. When an opportunity was provided to Arya to play the villain to Vishal in
Irumbu Thirai
, he rejected the offer and said that he wouldn't do any villain roles. So, the team approached
Arjun Sarja
and the Action King nodded okay. As Kadamban didn’t go well, Arya has no other go. So, he committed doing the villain in Karuppu Raja Vellai Raja with
Vishal Reddy
and
Karthik Sivakumar
. The film is directed by
Prabhu Deva
and it also has Bollywood actress
Sayesha Saigal
as one of the leads. It is to be noted that Arya has played the villain to “
Mammootty
” in
The Great Father
, a Malayalam film.
