Director Turning an Actor

Director N Shankar is familiar for two things in film industry. One is for directing revolutionary films with high quality powerful content and second is for spearheading the Telangana movement in film circles. Away from these two, Shankar is becoming an actor now with the movie of ‘Reporter’ under the direction of Mahesh Kaththi with Ramky as hero cum producer.

‘Reporter’ deals with the day to day challenges, struggles and sacrifices of journalists. Shankar is offered a wonderful character for which he could not say no. ‘Many big roles have come to my side in last few years but I did not accept any because they do not suit my body language. When Mahesh ad Ramky approached me, I was justified with their narration and agreed to do so. There is lot of value and strength in the story which every journalist will connect with,’ as said by Shankar.
