Kishen Das' Remarkable Journey from Content Creator to Actor to Writer in Tamil Cinema

Kishen Das, a rising star in Tamil cinema, has quietly carved a niche for himself through his diverse talents. In a recent interview, he reflects on his remarkable journey from content creator to actor and now writer.

Ahead of the release of his upcoming film Aaromaley, Kishen discusses the unexpected success of his previous film Mudhal Nee Mudivum Nee (MNMN), which was a turning point in his career. Despite initially quitting cinema to take a corporate job, the success of MNMN gave him the confidence to continue pursuing his passion.

Kishen sees acting as a craft, not a shortcut to fame. He is more focused on being a good actor and doing meaningful films rather than becoming a star. The actor also opens up about the challenges he faced during the making of Tharunam, a film that tested his abilities.

Interestingly, Kishen has now added the role of writer to his repertoire, co-writing Aaromaley. He acknowledges that writing is "200 times more difficult than acting," as it requires building an entire world from scratch. The film explores the different phases of love that most people experience.

Kishen's journey has been marked by a willingness to take on diverse roles and projects, even if it means saying no to opportunities that don't align with his vision. He has also found success in content creation, which allows him the independence to pursue the films he truly wants to make.

Reflecting on his personal life, Kishen shares that his marriage to longtime friend Suchitrha was a "very comfortable call" and not as daunting as it may seem to others.
