Tamil actor Karunaas has recalled an emotional moment from the making of Enna Vilai, revealing how Nimisha Sajayan reacted after watching one of his scenes. He also shared the special praise he received from his wife, Grace Karunaas, ahead of the film’s theatrical release.
Tamil actor Karunaas is looking forward to the release of Enna Vilai, a film that has already become a significant project in his career.
At the movie’s audio launch, the actor spoke about the appreciation he received while working on the film and recalled particularly memorable reactions from his co-stars.
One of the moments he highlighted involved Malayalam actor Nimisha Sajayan.
Nimisha Sajayan’s Reaction Left Karunaas Surprised
According to Karunaas, Sajayan had an emotional response after watching one of his performances during the shoot.
Recalling the incident at the event, he said that she got goosebumps after seeing the scene and then approached him to express her appreciation.
“After I finished acting in one scene, she got goosebumps. She came to me, hugged me tightly and kissed me on the cheek to appreciate my performance.”
For Karunaas, the spontaneous response was particularly meaningful because it came from a fellow performer who had witnessed the work firsthand.
He also recalled receiving appreciation from veteran actor Poornima Bhagyaraj after she watched the scene in which she appears as a judge.
The actor suggested that these reactions have made the project especially memorable even before its theatrical release.
Karunaas Reveals What Wife Grace Told Him
Karunaas also spoke about the reaction of his wife, actor and singer Grace Karunaas, after she watched Enna Vilai.
According to him, her response stood out because she had not previously praised his performances in quite the same way.
“I have acted in so many films, but my wife Grace has never appreciated me the way she appreciated this film. She told me, ‘Somehow, Karuna, this film will bring you value and respect.’”
For an actor with a long career in Tamil cinema, that kind of personal response appears to have carried particular weight.
Karunaas has worked across acting and music and has appeared in a wide range of Tamil films. His comments at the audio launch suggest that he considers Enna Vilai an important opportunity to present a different side of his acting abilities.
What Is Enna Vilai About?
Enna Vilai is directed by Sajeev Paloor, with Karunaas in the lead role.
Nimisha Sajayan is also part of the film in an important role. The Malayalam actor has built a strong reputation through films across Malayalam and Tamil cinema, including Chithha and Jigarthanda DoubleX.
The project has also attracted attention through its festival journey, with the team highlighting awards received at international film festivals.
The festival recognition has added another point of interest ahead of the film’s theatrical arrival.
When Will Enna Vilai Release?
The film is scheduled to arrive in theatres on September 17.
With the audio launch now completed, the cast and crew are moving into the final promotional phase before release.
Karunaas’s comments have placed particular emphasis on the acting in the film, especially the reactions he received from people who watched his performance during production and after completion.
Why Karunaas Is Excited About the Film
For Karunaas, the significance of Enna Vilai appears to extend beyond another acting credit.
The appreciation from Sajayan and Poornima Bhagyaraj, along with the reaction from his wife Grace, has given the actor additional confidence before audiences see the film.
While audience response will ultimately determine how the movie is received, the comments from the actor indicate that the project has already given him some memorable professional moments.
